Govt directs ONGC to take control of CB-OS/2 Block after PSC extension denial
The change in operational control of a producing block could have moderate implications for ONGC's production and revenue, but it is framed as an interim measure.
The announcement is about a regulatory directive and a change in operational control, which is neither distinctly positive nor negative.
* The Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, GOI, has rejected the extension of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for the CB-OS/2 Block. * The block, awarded in 1998, includes the Lakshmi and Gauri fields and currently produces 3,400 barrels of oil per day and 3,40,000 SCMD of gas. * ONGC has been directed to take control of all data, assets, operations, and responsibilities associated with the block as the Government Nominee. * This is an interim measure to maintain petroleum operations and safeguard reserves until the block is awarded to another party.
