ONGC's first oil from 98/2 block goes to MRPL

NEW DELHI: First oil from state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation's just-started KG deep-sea oilfield has gone to its subsidiary Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd for processing into fuels like petrol and diesel, the two firms said. ONGC in January started oil production from its Krishna Godavari basin KG-DWN-98/2 block, lying in Andhra offshore. "The first crude oil cargo from #ONGC Deepwater Krishna Godavari basin has reached ONGC subsidiary @Ongc_Mrpl Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited," ONGC said in a post on X. MRPL received the first cargo, loaded on a ship Swarna Sindhu on March 9. It also received its first oil from the Russian far-east field of Sakhalin-1 in 2006 and the waxy crude Cairn's Rajasthan block started producing in 2009.
