• Less than anticipated production from Cluster-8 fields due to delay in inputs as installation of wellhead platforms got delayed due to Covid impact.
• Loss in oil production in Ratna & R-Series due to due to scaling in wells and delay in H2S package at R-13A wells.
• Less condensate receipt at Hazira due to less gas production from B&S Asset and due to constraints in 36” SBHT line.
