The Ravva oil and gas field is located in the shallow offshore area of the Krishna-Godavari basin on the eastern coast of India and lies in Block PKGM-1. It is approximately 460km northeast of Chennai.

The field was initially estimated to produce 100 million barrels of crude oil. It has, however, produced more than 225 million barrels until 2011. With a water depth of approximately 10m to 15m, the field has eight offshore platforms, one export terminal, four tanks as well as onshore processing facilities.

According to Marubeni, the oil and gas produced from the Ravva field enters the country’s domestic market through refineries and the gas authority firm.

Partners in the field include Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Videocon Industries, Vedanta and Marubeni. Vedanta, through its division Cairn Oil & Gas, operates the field with a 22.5% stake, while ONGC owns 40%, Videocon owns 25% and Marubeni holds the remaining 12.5% ownership in the field.
