natural gas found in depth
Drilling at this place was done in 355 meter deep sea area. During initial investigation, signs of natural gas were found at a depth of more than 1900 meters and gas was seen coming out continuously, which confirmed its presence here.

Oil India’s statement
Talking about this, Oil India said that this discovery is also important because it indicates that large reserves of oil and gas may exist in the Andaman Sea area. However, it has not been decided yet whether production from here will be possible from a business point of view or not. More tests will be done for this in the coming time. The company is currently testing the gas samples to ascertain its quality and energy potential. Not only this, scientists are studying from which source the gas is made.

Let us tell you that earlier in September 2025, information about finding of natural gas in Vijaypuram-2 well had also come to light. So far, signs of gas have been found in two of the three wells dug in this block. This has further increased confidence in the possibilities of the area.

India has got a big success between Trade Tarifs and Global Energy Crisis. Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has discovered a large reserves of natural gas in Andaman Shallow offshore block near Andaman Islands. This discovery took place during the excavation of Vijayapuram-2 Well, which was done under OALP (Open Acreage Licensing Policy). The well is located within the depth of 295 meters of water and 2,650 meters of ground, about 17 km from the east coast of Andaman. During testing, 87% pure methane has been confirmed from here – which makes it a high quality natural gas source. Energy Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that the discovery proves that the Gas belt spread from Andaman Basin, Myanmar to Indonesia can be as rich as much as. This will help India reduce dependence on gas imports, which currently completes 44% of gas through imports. Methane is a clean fuel and using it can make heavy cuts in pollutants such as co₂ and SO₂. This discovery is a major step towards India’s energy self -sufficiency.
