KPL-G is a substitute development well targeting the shallow hydrocarbon-bearing sands discovered in the KSG-40 well.

The well will be deviated to the south by about 177m from the existing plinth of the KSG-32 well with a target depth of around 1,450m true vertical depth.

Extensive coring is planned in this well with an objective of building a robust geological and reservoir model, Jubilant said.

The Kharsang field is operated by GeoEnpro Petroleum, a joint venture of GeoPetrol and Jubilant Enpro.

Jubilant holds a 25% stake in the block through its subsidiary Jubilant Energy (Kharsang), and its project partners are Oil India and GeoPetrol.
