Gas Discovery in India: Recently there were reports that oil reserves have been found in the Sindh province of India’s neighboring country Pakistan. Apart from this, there are also reports regarding gas that gas reserves have also been found there. Due to which an atmosphere of happiness was created in Pakistan. Meanwhile, there are reports now that gas reserves have been found in India too. After facing shortage of gas for the past several days, now getting stock of gas is a matter of happiness and relief in itself.

Oil India report
In fact, the government company Oil India Limited has found another large reserve of natural gas in the Andaman Sea region of India. It has been told by the company that natural gas has been found in a well in Vijaypuram-3 near the coast of Andaman. This is the company’s second important hydrocarbon (oil-gas) discovery in this area. According to the company, the Vijayapuram-3 well is located about 15 kilometers away from the eastern coast of the Andaman Islands.

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 Oil Gas Reserves News: India’s government oil companies have done such a feat across the seven seas, which can brighten the fortunes of the country. Amidst the Iran war and Hormuz tension, India has found a new reserve of oil and gas in the ‘Ghadames Basin’ of Libya. This success has been achieved by a consortium led by Oil India, which also includes Indian Oil. This discovery was made in a block named ‘Area 95’ of Libya.

According to reports, the companies drilled to a depth of about 8500 feet in the ground. It is being said that about 352 barrels of crude oil is coming out from there every day. Not only this, more than 600 standard cubic feet of gas is also available there every day.

India was doing research for a long time

It has been told in the report that when the well was tested, hydrocarbons were taken out through a 24/64 inch ‘choke’ valve, which revealed its good pressure capacity. India was doing research here for a long time and now it has achieved great success.

What will be the benefit to India?

Let us tell you that India buys 85% of its oil requirement from outside. Having our own wells in foreign countries reduces the supply tension. When India’s own companies extract oil abroad, it is beneficial for the country’s economy in the long run. In a country with difficult conditions like Libya, this discovery has proved the mettle of Indian engineers and companies.

It is being said that in the coming time, India will be able to get its share of oil and gas from Libya, because this discovery is on land, hence extracting oil from here may be a little easier and cheaper than from the sea. This discovery can prove to be a ‘game changer’ for Oil India.
