Gas reserves found in West India

Hydrocarbons exploration major Cairn India has made two gas discoveries in West Indian region of Rajasthan, Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) reported Thursday.

"The two discoveries have confirmed our belief that the Rajasthan basin is world class and will continue to add incremental value," Rahul Dhir, chief executive officer of Cairn India, told IANS Wednesday.

Cairn India is currently focused on exploration and production and has a working interest in 15 blocks, two of which are producing hydrocarbons. It holds rights in several regions in the country.

The company had made a major oil discovery in Rajasthan in the beginning of 2004, called the Mangla field, and has made 22 discoveries in the state so far.

No details are available on the reserves found recently.
