據油氣新聞5月24日消息稱，印度政府周五發布的數據顯示，在信實工業有限公司及其合作伙伴英國石油公司提高了其東部海上KG-D6區塊的產量后，印度4月份天然氣產量躍升了22.7%。

　　根據石油和天然氣部發布的數據，印度4月份的天然氣產量為26.5億立方米，高于去年同月的21.6億立方米。

　　盡管印度國有石油天然氣公司(ONGC)的產量持平于17.2億立方米，但私營部門和合資企業運營的油田的產量增加了兩倍，達到7.1086億標準立方米。其中大部分來自東部近海油田的4.0912億立方米產量。

　　信實-BP于去年12月開始在KG-D6區塊進行第二波天然氣開采，上個月，該公司開始在Satellite Cluster油田生產天然氣。

　　然而，由于ONGC和印度石油有限公司減產，印度的原油產量下降了2%，至249萬噸。

　　4月份，煉油廠的原油加工量同比增長35%，達到1988萬噸，而去年同期，由于全國范圍內的嚴格封鎖，經濟活動幾乎陷入停頓。

　　4月份，這些煉油廠的燃料產量增加了31%，達到2090萬噸。

　　2020年4月，由于封鎖導致燃料需求減半，煉油廠降低了運營費。

　　India’s natural gas output rises 23% as RIL-BP fields start production

　　India’s natural gas production jumped 22.7 per cent in April after Reliance Industries Ltd and its partner BP Plc ramped up output from their eastern offshore KG-D6 block, government data released on Friday showed.

　　India produced 2.65 billion cubic meters of natural gas in April, up from 2.16 bcm in the same month last year, as per the data released by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.

　　While state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation’s (ONGC) production was flat at 1.72 bcm, output from fields operated by the private sector and joint ventures tripled to 710.86 million standard cubic meters. The bulk of this came from 409.12 mmcm output from eastern offshore fields.

　　Reliance-BP, which in December last year started putting the second wave of gas discoveries in KG-D6 block to production, last month started output from the Satellite Cluster fields.

　　India’s crude oil production, however, slipped 2 per cent to 2.49 million tonnes as state-owned onGC and Oil India Ltd (OIL) produced less.

　　Oil refineries processed 35 per cent more crude at 19.88 million tonnes in April when compared to the year-ago period, when economic activity had almost come to a halt because of a stringent nationwide lockdown.

　　The refineries produced 31 per cent more fuel at 20.9 million tonnes in April.

　　During April 2020 refiners had cut operating rates as fuel demand halved because of the lockdown.
