Declaration of Commerciality of 6 Discoveries in Block KG-OSN-2001/3
Jubilant is pleased to declare commerciality of six discoveries (KG-16, KG-22, KG-31, KG-21, KG-19 and KG-20SS) in Block KG-OSN-2001/3. GSPC, the Operator of the block, had submitted a commerciality analysis report on the six discoveries to the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas on 14th February 2013 and the same has been reviewed by the Management Committee as required under the terms of the Production Sharing Contract.
The Declaration of Commerciality ("DOC") of the six discoveries has been examined with the following parameters and reviewed by the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons, India ("DGH"):
a) Gas Initially In Place ("GIIP") | : Gross 8.392 TCF as estimated by DGH;Net to Jubilant being 839 BCF. |
b) Recoverable Gas (Contingent Resources) | : Gross 1.015 TCF as estimated by DGH; Net to Jubilant being 102 BCF |
c) Development Wells | : 25 wells (combination of dry tree and sub-sea wells) |
d) Production Facilities | :Platforms, Pipelines, Flow-lines, Process Umbilicals and Modifications of DDW Platform and Onshore Terminal |
The Operator has prepared a long term phased resource maturation plan for the development of total available resources in the discovery area. As part of this phased development, the approved DOC considers recoverable gas of 1.015 TCF for initial development out of 2C recoverable gas resources of 4.708 TCF on gross basis (corresponding GIIP 8.392 TCF). GCA had estimated 2C recoverable resources of 4.888 TCF (corresponding GIIP 9.178 TCF), as was announced on 6 September 2012.
The above discoveries exclude the DeenDayal West ("DDW") and DDW Extension areas.
Reconciliation between the Contingent Resource estimates as considered in the DOC compared to the GCA estimates announced on 6 September is detailed in the table below:
Discovery Area | Particulars |
Gross Resources as per GCA report (TCF) |
Gross Resources as per DOC (TCF) |
Net Resources to Jubilant as per DOC (BCF) |
Other than DDW and DDW Extension | GIIP | 9.178 | 8.392 | 839 |
Recoverable 2C Contingent Resources | 4.888 | 4.708 (of which 1.015 TCF considered under DOC, for initial development) | 471 (of which 102 BCF considered under DOC, for initial development) | |
DDW Extension | GIIP | 2.276 | Not part of DOC | Not part of DOC |
Recoverable 2C Contingent Resources | 1.111 | |||
Total | GIIP | 11.454 | n/a | n/a |
Recoverable 2C Contingent Resources | 5.999 | n/a | n/a |
Jubilant holds a 10% participating interest in this block through its subsidiary, Jubilant Offshore Drilling Private Limited in India. GSPC holds an 80% participating interest and is the Operator for the block. GeoGlobal Resources Inc. holds 10%.

Notes and Glossary of abbreviations
The above resource figures have been estimated using the Petroleum Resources Management System published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers/ World Petroleum Council American Association of Petroleum Geologists/ Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (SPE/WPC/AAPG/SPEE) in March 2007 ("SPE PRMS").
2C | Contingent Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations by application of development projects, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. 2C Contingent Resource is the Best Estimate. |
