Oil India Limited (OIL), one of India’s prominent upstream oil and gas companies, has officially started gas production from the Bakhritibba Discovered Small Field (DSF) block. The block is located in the arid terrains of Western Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer District, with production commencing from June 1, 2025.
OIL has set a benchmark by achieving rapid monetisation from the DSF III block. The company successfully drilled three Multi-Well Pads (MWP) within the development period.
This swift progress has enabled the supply of 67,200 Standard Cubic Metres per Day (SCMD) of gas, which is planned to be further increased to 100 Million Standard Cubic Metres per Day (MSCMD). The Bakhritibba Block’s gas production will significantly contribute to the region’s energy requirements and enhance OIL’s overall output.
The operations in the Bakhritibba Block are conducted under challenging desert conditions. The region’s harsh climate and terrain pose significant logistical and technical difficulties.
Despite these challenges, OIL’s teams have demonstrated resilience, determination, and responsibility, ensuring uninterrupted energy supply from this frontier area. Their commitment reflects the company’s focus on sustainable development and energy security.
On June 2, 2025, OIL India share price (NSE: OIL) opened at ₹428.00 and closed at ₹423.10, down by 0.87%. The stock price touched its day’s low at ₹419.20.
Oil India Ltd is involved in the exploration, development, and production of crude oil and natural gas, along with the transportation of crude oil and LPG production. The company also offers a range of exploration and production (E&P) services for oil blocks.
