There were twenty five producing wells out of which fifteen were shut-in and production from the field dropped to 70 MMscfd from the peak of 195 MMscfd of gas. Eight wells were bought into operation by September, 2010 and after necessary repairs production increased to 160 MMscfd (Million standard cubic feet per day). Two additional wells brought into opertion by mid October, 2010 adding 30 MMscfd of gas thereby increased total available production to 190 MMscfd. In December 2010, compression station began commercial operation to maintain contractual delivery pressure and enhance recovery ratio.

Drilling of well (Sui- 89M) started in January, 2011 and was completed in February, 2011. Well (Sui-93M) was drilled as a horizontal well using under balanced drilling technology in the reservoir for the first time in the country to optimize production form Sui gas field.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
