⚠️ ONGC Halts Operations at Mori Field Following Pollution Board Order

• ONGC received a 'Stop Production Order' from Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board (APPCB) on April 24, 2026.

• The order relates to Well Mori05 in Mori Field, following a well blowout and fire incident on January 5, 2026.

• APPCB alleges environmental violations including operating without proper consents and causing air pollution.

• The field was under Production Enhancement Contract with M/s Deep Exploration Services Private Limited (DESPL) since September 2024.

• ONGC states the well had no production since April 2009 and was undergoing workover operations by DESPL when the incident occurred.

• The company successfully capped the well on January 10, 2026, and it remains closed.

• ONGC considers the financial and operational impact not significant due to the scale of its overall operations.

• The company plans to review the order in detail and respond accordingly.
