As at December 31, 2010, we have participated since inception through joint ventures in the drilling of ninety-nine wells. Further, we acquired three wells originally drilled by ONGC in the Tarapur Block. Of the total ninety-nine wells drilled, sixteen have been drilled in the Krishna Godavari Basin within the KG Offshore Block, eighty-one have been drilled in the Cambay Basin and two have been drilled in the Bikaner-Nagaur Basin. A total of forty-three wells have been abandoned or will be abandoned because of the absence of economic quantities of hydrocarbons or because the well characteristics would make the production of hydrocarbons problematic and non-commercial.
Field development plans have been filed by GSPC with the Government of India and Director General of Hydrocarbons for a portion of the KG Offshore Block and the Tarapur Block under the provisions of the PSC. The Government of India has provided approval for these plans subject to certain terms and conditions.
While we have discoveries in the Ankleshwar Block, the Mehsana Block and the Sanand/Miroli Block along with additional discoveries in the Tarapur Block and the KG Offshore Block, field development plans have not yet been submitted on those blocks for those specific discoveries.
