Oilex readies Cambay-73 for production
India Condensate will be separated on site and be trucked to a nearby refinery.
“The commencement of gas production from the Cambay-73 facilities is a significant milestone for Oilex and marks the first step on the path to achieving positive cashflow from operations in India,” said the company’s managing director, Ron Miller.
The development is a fracked vertical well first drilled in 2008. A production test in 2012 produced a peak of 1 million cubic feet of gas per day. Nearby wells may be tied into the Cambay-73 facilities if they have surplus production.
Oilex seeks to restart gas production at the Cambay field this summer, having not produced gas there since the early 1990s.
