ONGC, Invenire JV revives PY-3 field in India with new plan
Originally brought onstream in 1997, the PY-3 Field had been shut since July 2011. Since then, a multi-phase revised Field Development Plan (FDP) has been implemented to revive production.
The PY-3 Field offshore Cauvery Basin resumed production on May 23, 2025 after being shut since 2011. Phase I of the Field Development Plan (FDP) involved well activation and subsea infrastructure installation. Phase II will focus on drilling and enhanced oil recovery. ONGC holds 50.63 per cent, Hardy Exploration 22.79 per cent, and Invenire 26.58 per cent.
Phase I of the revised FDP has now been completed. This included integrity assessment, conditioning, and activation of the subsea well PD3SA; installation of subsea infrastructure; and hook-up to the Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel Svetah Venetia. The FPSO is being used to process and separate oil, gas, and water. The produced oil is stored on the FPSO and offloaded to shuttle tankers for transport to refineries.
Phase II of the FDP will involve the drilling of additional wells and the application of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques to boost output from this prolific field, which yields light, sweet crude oil.
Hardy Exploration & Production (India) Inc., a company of the Invenire Energy Group, is the operator of the block with an effective 22.79 per cent participating interest. ONGC holds a 50.63 per cent effective participating interest, and Invenire Petrodyne Ltd. holds the remaining 26.58 per cent.
In a joint statement, Mr. Manish Maheshwari, Chairman, Invenire Energy, and Mr. Arunangshu Sarkar, Director (Strategy & Corporate Affairs), ONGC, expressed their appreciation to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) and the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) for their support, guidance, and unwavering encouragement, which were instrumental in achieving this milestone. Mr. Maheshwari added that this marks a significant step in Invenire's operational journey and reaffirms the JV's commitment to contributing to India's energy security.

Live Events The proposed Helium Recovery Demonstration Plant represents a significant milestone in the journey of ONGC towards building indigenous capabilities in high-value gases. The demonstration plant would process 750 Nm3/hr of natural gas and is designed with flexibility to operate at 110 per cent of the design capacity. The project is scheduled for completion within 18 months. The initiative strengthens the Centre's vision of ' Atmanirbhar Bharat ' (Self-reliant India) while contributing to India's long-term energy and technology security. Following the collaboration, ONGC Energy Centre Trust and Engineers India Ltd would combine their expertise to execute a first-of-its-kind project in India, by integrating cutting-edge research with practical industrial application, the release said.

High standards in manufacturing vital for nation's growth, says BIS official
Manufacturing products with the highest standards is key to national development, said Meenakshi Ganesan, Deputy Director General (South), Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), while inaugurating a Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on 'Standardisation and Conformity Assessment' at AU College of Engineering on Tuesday. She said standards strengthen institutions and systems, and the three-day FDP would give faculty exposure to Indian and international benchmarks. BIS experts will cover testing, inspection and certification. She noted that AU, which signed an MoU with BIS in 2023, has since undertaken joint programmes and research, and appreciated the faculty for nurturing talent. AU Vice-Chancellor G.P. Raja Sekhar announced plans to introduce a course on standardisation and conformity assessment, besides expanding BIS student chapters already active in three departments. Principal G. Sasibhushana Rao termed the programme significant in the centenary year of the college. FDP coordinator C.N.V. Satyanarayana Reddy said a dedicated section with BIS publications has been set up in the library, and over 120 participants have applied. BIS scientist M.A.J. Vinod and others also spoke.
