Oil India commences gas production from Bakhritibba Block in Rajasthan
Oil India Limited (OIL), a leading upstream oil and gas company in India, has recently informed exchanges that the company commenced natural gas production from the Bakhritibba Discovered Small Field (DSF) block located in the Jaisalmer district of Western Rajasthan.
The project marks the beginning of gas output from the DSF III round, with OIL successfully drilling three MWP (Minimum Work Program) wells within the designated development period. Initial production is recorded at 67,200 standard cubic meters per day (SCMD) and is expected to scale up to 100,000 SCMD (100 MSCMD) in the coming months.

This development highlights OIL's operational progress in harnessing hydrocarbon resources from challenging terrains. The Bakhritibba field is situated in an arid zone, requiring technical adaptation and logistical coordination to sustain production.
The gas output from this block is anticipated to contribute to regional energy supply and aligns with broader efforts to enhance domestic natural gas availability under India's energy strategy.

West Texas Intermediate traded near $63 a barrel after adding more than 4% in the previous two sessions, while Brent closed above $65. The American Petroleum Institute reported stockpiles fell by 3.28 million barrels last week, according to a person familiar.
