Located in Western Rajasthan near the Indo-Pak international border, the 73 sq. km Chinnewala Tibba block holds significant gas reserves
Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) has commenced natural gas sales from its Discovered Small Field (DSF-II) Block RJ/ONDSF/Chinnewala/2018, marking the successful monetisation of the Chinnewala Tibba field in the Rajasthan Kutch Onland Exploratory Asset (RKOEA).
Located in Western Rajasthan near the Indo-Pak international border, the 73 sq. km Chinnewala Tibba block holds significant gas reserves. ONGC has started supplying 1.0 lakh standard cubic meters of gas per day (LSCMD), contributing to the state’s growing energy demand and India’s broader energy security objectives under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoP&NG).
Gas evacuation began on August 25, 2025, with supplies routed to Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL), Ramgarh, through ONGC’s Gamnewala Gas Collection Station (GCS). The achievement was made possible through close coordination with the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), GAIL, Oil India Limited (OIL), and RRVUNL, ensuring seamless integration of new supplies into the regional power grid.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Arunangshu Sarkar, Director (Strategy & Corporate Affairs), and Om Prakash Sinha, Director (Exploration), ONGC, along with other senior dignitaries.
Speaking on the occasion, the dignitaries emphasized that the commencement of production at Chinnewala Tibba demonstrates ONGC’s commitment to efficient resource monetisation under the DSF framework, while reinforcing its role as a trusted partner of the Government of India in achieving national energy goals.
