The production has started from the Discovered Small Field (DSF-II) Block RJ/ONDSF/Chinnewala/2018 in the Rajasthan Kutch Onland Exploratory Asset (RKOEA). Located close to the Indo-Pak border, the 73 sq. km Chinnewala Tibba block holds significant reserves and has begun supplying around 1.0 lakh standard cubic meters of gas per day (LSCMD).

Gas evacuation to Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited’s (RRVUNL) Ramgarh facility commenced today through ONGC’s Gamnewala Gas Collection Station. The project was executed with active collaboration from the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), GAIL, Oil India Limited (OIL), and RRVUNL, ensuring seamless integration of gas supplies into the regional power grid.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by ONGC Director (Strategy & Corporate Affairs) Arunangshu Sarkar and Director (Exploration) Om Prakash Sinha, along with other senior dignitaries.

Company executives underlined that the monetisation of Chinnewala Tibba is not only a testament to ONGC’s focus on efficient resource development under the DSF framework but also reinforces its role as a key partner in advancing the Government of India’s national energy objectives.
