<\/span>Hindustan Oil Exploration Company Ltd Announces Contract Win<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Hindustan Oil Exploration Company Ltd announced that it has been awarded a contract area in the resource-rich Mumbai Offshore oil block under the Special Discovered Small Fields Bid Round 2024 on 15 April 2025. The block, designated MB\/OSDSF\/B15\/2024, covers an area of 332.4 square kilometres under a depth of approximately 40 metres. According to the company\u2019s exchange filing, the block includes two existing discoveries \u2014 B-15A and B-15-2 \u2014 and holds additional potential for further exploration.<\/span><\/p>\n

A total of six wells have been drilled in the area so far. Among them, the B-15A-1 well delivered promising results, testing approximately 1.66 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscfd) and 1,833 barrels of oil per day (bopd). Meanwhile, Well B-15-2 tested around 1,151 bopd and 0.91 mmscfd of gas from the Panna formation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The acquisition further strengthens HOEC\u2019s presence in the Mumbai Offshore region, complementing its existing operations in the MB\/OSDSF\/B80\/2016 block. With this addition, the company\u2019s total acreage in the region now exceeds 800 square kilometres.<\/span><\/p>\n
