Production Contract
The Dholka field has been on production since 1970. In October 1995, JTI (50%) with Larson & Toubro (50%) entered into a production sharing agreement with the Government of India (GOI) to develop the Dholka field. When the consortium took over the field in the year 1995, the field had 14 producing wells and the oil production was 250 barrels of oil per day. On March 31, 2004, JTI acquired 100% interest in the Dholka field.
Production Update, March 2012
During first quarter of 2012, JTI stimulated two wells, DK-29 and DK-33, which resulted into increment in production by 150 BOPD. Currently these two wells are under flush production and expected to decline in coming months. As of March 2012, the average daily oil production from both the Dholka and Wavel fields is about 920 barrels of oil per day.
