# JVs operated by others

ONGC maintained broadly stable production during Q2FY’27  compared to Q1FY’27. The year on year moderation in quarterly production was primarily attributable to reservoir behaviour complexities in KG-98/2 Asset in Eastern Offshore Basin, coupled with  monsoon related operational challenges and associated delays in PRP-8 and PRP-9 (Pipeline Replacement Projects). Gas production from onshore fields was also affected by lower customer offtake during the quarter, following disruptions at certain major consumer facilities that temporarily reduced demand.

ONGC has scaled up engagement of  M/s bp as Technical Service Provider(TSP) for entire Western Offshore (TSP-1 & TSP-2), as part of it’s strategy to enhance production from its mature fields through focused interventions to arrest natural decline and accelerate development activities. M/s bp mobilised its team against TSP-2 (for entire Western Offshore except MH field) in Aug’2026.

1. New Projects

Major development and Infrastructure projects in Western Offshore

(i) ONGC awarded two major offshore development projects, MBOSN-2005-1, SD-4 & BS-17 and the additional development of Ratna-1 & NLM-14, involving a combined capital investment of approximately ₹11,800 crore. These projects are expected to unlock an estimated 22 MMTOE of hydrocarbon potential, strengthening future production from the Western Offshore region.

(ii) ONGC also awarded the Pipeline Replacement Project-X (PRP-X), with an estimated project cost of over ₹4,300 crore, for the installation of new subsea pipelines and replacement of ageing pipeline infrastructure in the Western Offshore.
