ONGC, Invenire JV revives PY-3 field in India with new plan
A Joint Venture of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC), Hardy Exploration & Production (India) Inc., and Invenire Petrodyne Limited has successfully commenced production from the PY-3 Field, located offshore in the Cauvery Basin on the east coast of India, as of 23 May 2025.
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.

ONGC says losing money in Assam, counters protesting employees
Reacting to a a sit-in by members of the ONGC Purbanchal Employees' Association (OPEA) at the Assam Asset in Nazira, the company said the demonstration, while peaceful, has been primarily initiated as a protest against discontinuation of a particular overtime payment, 'which was not admissible'. In a statement, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) emphasised that it is hiring locally and is investing heavily in the local community in Assam. Nazira (Assam), Jun 3 (PTI) India's top oil and gas producer ONGC on Tuesday said it is losing money in Assam because of low production and high employee headcount, as it countered allegations of protesting employees over stoppage of contentious overtime payment. 'The company is losing money while continuing its operations at Assam for the last few years; one of the reasons being low production and high manpower,' it said. It went on to state that the claim of the Union with respect to medical facilities being stopped was 'factually incorrect'. 'The change from direct credit to reimbursement mode has been introduced to curb misuse and malpractice related to a unique welfare facility the company provides to its in-service as well as to its former employees,' it said. Despite financial pressures linked to rising production costs in the Assam Asset, ONGC said it continues to maintain a significant presence in the region. The company reiterated 'its commitment to Assam through a wide range of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. These include sustained investment in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and skill development. The Siu-Ka-Pha Hospital at Sivasagar is one such flagship project providing healthcare to the locals.' While the current changes may cause short-term friction, they are aimed at ensuring long-term sustainability for ONGC's operations in Assam. The situation remains stable, with dialogue channels open between management and employee representatives. PTI ANZ DRR This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
