Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) plans to establish a drilling well in Bihar this year, in the field of oil and gas. The company has acquired 3D seismic data for 300 sq. km for its block in Samastipur, Bihar, and is set to drill two exploratory wells.
The first drilling is supposed to be carried out this year and might cost around Rs 30 to 35 crore. This may explore the entire basin for future exploration, stretching from Bihar to Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. In addition to this, the oil and gas producer also plans to drill an exploratory well in another block in the Ganga basin in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh. As part of this, ONGC like other firms has to directly deal with land owners to acquire land for the activity.
