Oil India Ltd. (OIL) has made another oil discovery in the Upper Assam Basin in northeast India, according to a news release.

The company said on June 6 that its South Baghjan-2 well, located in the Baghjan Petroleum Mining Lease, encountered multiple sands in Narpuh and Lakadong+Therria formations. On testing, a 15-m sand at a depth of 4,154 m produced oil at a rate of 100 cubic meters per day, the company said in a news release.

“Presently, the well is put on regular production. Further appraisal of the discovery is planned which is likely to enhance the oil and gas production through appraisal and development activities,” OIL said.

During 2016-2017, OIL said it has made 10 discoveries in the Assam Basin, opening avenues for further exploration of identified leads and prospects in the area.
