He added: “We are now putting enhanced focus on production besides continuing with our exploration activities. As soon as we make onshore discoveries of oil or gas, our target is to soon start production from them.”
According to the higher official, ONGC will achieve the target set for the production in Assam (0.96 MMT) in the year 2016-17. It is learnt 98 per cent has already been achieved.
