NEW DELHI: Oil India Ltd, the nation’s second-largest state oil producer, on Friday said it has made a natural gas discovery at a well drilled in Tinsukia, Assam.
“The discovery will open up new areas for further oil and gas exploration in Assam and would help in enhancing the gas production with future appraisal and development activities,” the company said in a statement.

OIL, whose majority of operations are concentrated in the north-east, did not indicate the reserves the discovery may hold.
