Event Summary

Oil India Limited has achieved a record crude oil production of 1,202 barrels per day from the Jodhpur sandstone formation in Rajasthan's Thar desert, marking a 70% increase from the previous year. This significant milestone, driven by the deployment of advanced recovery techniques such as Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS), fishbone drilling, and barefoot completion, enhances domestic output and strengthens India's energy security. The crude oil is transported to Oil and Natural Gas Corporation facilities and then to Indian Oil Corporation's Koyali refinery. This achievement is crucial for reducing India's dependence on imported crude, especially amid heightened geopolitical tensions and uncertainty in global oil markets.
