KPL-C is the second of the seven development wells of the Phase-III drilling campaign in the Kharsang field.

The well, which is a step out location to target the shallow C-50, D-00 and also deeper Girujan reservoirs, will target structurally higher bright amplitude prospects identified by Seismic in this eastern part of the field.

According to the company, the well will be deviated by about 712m to the ESE direction from the existing plinth of well KSG-39 and a target depth of around 1,224m true vertical depth (TVD) with the option of continuing to 1,598m TVD if appropriate.

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.
