    According to Oil & Gas News on June 24, data released by the Indian government on Tuesday showed that India’s crude oil production fell by 6.
    3% in May, after the state-owned ONGC output fell by nearly one-tenth due to Hurricane Tauktai
    .


    According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, crude oil production in May was 2.
    43 million tons, a 6.
    32% drop from the 2.
    6 million tons in the same period last year
    .


    India’s largest oil and natural gas producer (ONGC) reported that “due to conditions caused by Hurricane Tauktae”, production fell sharply by 9.
    63% to 1.
    5 million tons
    .


    Last month, severe hurricane Tauktae hit the west coast and disrupted economic activity
    .
    ONGC's main oil and gas production fields are located in the western waters
    .


    ONGC's natural gas production has also decreased by more than 9%, but the increased production of Reliance Industries and BP's KG-D6 block has helped increase overall production
    .


    As the output of the KG-D6 block in the eastern sea increased by 10 times, the country's natural gas production increased by 19% to 2.
    74 billion cubic meters
    .


    ONGC's natural gas production was 1.
    64 billion cubic meters, a decrease of 9.
    08% from the previous year
    .
    This is because of "decreased production of natural gas in the western offshore due to Hurricane Taukart" and the decrease in production of offshore oil fields in the east
    .


    With the relaxation of epidemic restrictions and increased demand, the crude oil processed by refineries in May increased by 16% to approximately 19 million tons
    .
