Reliance Industries Ltd is planning to start production of natural gas from coal-bed methane (CBM) blocks in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India, from 2015 to 2016. The company told local press that the first gas is due to be produced in Sohagpur, Madhya Pradesh, in 2016.
Preparing for gas extraction
Three CBM blocks are held by the company: two in Sohagpur, Madhya Pradesh, and one in Sonhat, Chattisgarh. It is anticipated that the two CBM locations in Sohagpur will produce around 3.5 million m3/day of gas.
The first phase of the project will reportedly involve the drilling of 229 wells and the construction of two gas stations. The company has begun the process of land acquisition and planning for infrastructure for the extraction and transportation of gas is in progress.
Pipeline construction
Through the company’s subsidiary, Reliance Gas Pipelines Ltd, 312 km of pipeline will be constructed to transport coal gas from the production site in Madhya Pradesh to Phulpur, Uttar Pradesh. It will then link with GAIL India Ltd’s Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur pipeline, allowing the gas to be transported to any consumer. The pipeline will transport approximately 4.3 million m3/day of gas.
