State-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has discovered gas in a deepwater exploration well off India's eastern coast, with the find located relatively close to Odisha, potentially offering an advantage for development if further appraisal establishes commercial viability.
According to a PTI report, the discovery was made on September 18 at the MN-DW18-1-H-D well in the Mahanadi Offshore Basin, around 43 km from Konark. The well was drilled as part of ONGC's Samudra Manthan deepwater exploration campaign.
