ONGC, Invenire JV revives PY-3 field in India with new plan
Originally brought onstream in 1997, the PY-3 Field had been shut since July 2011. Since then, a multi-phase revised Field Development Plan (FDP) has been implemented to revive production.
The PY-3 Field offshore Cauvery Basin resumed production on May 23, 2025 after being shut since 2011. Phase I of the Field Development Plan (FDP) involved well activation and subsea infrastructure installation. Phase II will focus on drilling and enhanced oil recovery. ONGC holds 50.63 per cent, Hardy Exploration 22.79 per cent, and Invenire 26.58 per cent.
Phase I of the revised FDP has now been completed. This included integrity assessment, conditioning, and activation of the subsea well PD3SA; installation of subsea infrastructure; and hook-up to the Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel Svetah Venetia. The FPSO is being used to process and separate oil, gas, and water. The produced oil is stored on the FPSO and offloaded to shuttle tankers for transport to refineries.
Phase II of the FDP will involve the drilling of additional wells and the application of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques to boost output from this prolific field, which yields light, sweet crude oil.
Hardy Exploration & Production (India) Inc., a company of the Invenire Energy Group, is the operator of the block with an effective 22.79 per cent participating interest. ONGC holds a 50.63 per cent effective participating interest, and Invenire Petrodyne Ltd. holds the remaining 26.58 per cent.
In a joint statement, Mr. Manish Maheshwari, Chairman, Invenire Energy, and Mr. Arunangshu Sarkar, Director (Strategy & Corporate Affairs), ONGC, expressed their appreciation to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) and the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) for their support, guidance, and unwavering encouragement, which were instrumental in achieving this milestone. Mr. Maheshwari added that this marks a significant step in Invenire's operational journey and reaffirms the JV's commitment to contributing to India's energy security.

Energy stocks unlikely to rally without crude surge: Anand Tandon
"In the near term, I don't expect any significant movement. The only change we might see is if crude prices rise sustainably—then ONGC might tick up slightly. On the power side, if we include that within the energy basket, most of the action is in solar. But I would actually prefer to look at grid-related investments. Companies involved in grid infrastructure and its expansion are more attractive from an investment perspective. Apart from that, the market appears to be priced to perfection," says Anand Tandon, Independent Analyst. ADVERTISEMENT You have a view across the entire market in terms of sectors. All the broad-based Nifty sectors have now tilted into the red, with Nifty PSU Banks, Realty, and Pharma among the biggest losers today. What is still managing to hold on—or rather, showing the least cuts—is the Nifty Metal and Energy space. What is your outlook on these two sectors? While we've just discussed metals, we haven't revisited energy as a theme in quite some time. What's your take there? Anand Tandon: On the geopolitical front, there was a small spike in prices based on expectations of further restrictions on Russian oil. But it now seems that such measures will only materialize much later, so there's no immediate impact on the market. We actually saw some respite because of the Indian market's perspective, there are very few companies you can meaningfully invest in within the energy space. This is largely because retail-level prices are controlled by the government. Every time crude prices rise, retail prices are adjusted upward, but when crude falls, retail prices rarely drop. So, a cushion has already been built in. In the near term, I don't expect any significant movement. The only change we might see is if crude prices rise sustainably—then ONGC might tick up slightly. On the power side, if we include that within the energy basket, most of the action is in solar. But I would actually prefer to look at grid-related investments. Companies involved in grid infrastructure and its expansion are more attractive from an investment perspective. Apart from that, the market appears to be priced to perfection. That's an interesting point about sanctions, especially the ones major countries are demanding on Russian oil. Do you believe such sanctions could materially impact global markets? Does this scenario carry a real probability of happening? As you mentioned, ONGC might benefit if it does—but what's your broader view? Can global sanctions on Russian oil escalate, and what might that mean? Anand Tandon: Sanctions on Russian oil already exist. What's currently happening is that there's an effort to lower the price cap at which Russian oil can be sold. That adjustment has now been postponed until January. Let's be honest—the West doesn't usually act against its own economic interests. While India may be criticised for increasing its oil purchases from Russia, the reality is that a large share of refined petroleum products from India is re-exported to Europe. So, in truth, Europe is benefiting from the current arrangement. Our refineries are doing well, which is beneficial, but it's not driven by domestic consumption. ADVERTISEMENT That said, there is a possibility of further tightening of Russian oil prices, which could marginally constrain supply. However, given the state of the global market, that's largely offset by weak demand, so we're not seeing any major this stage, rather than focusing on energy, I believe a more pressing issue is the rare earth metals sector, which remains under China's stronghold. While China has eased some pressure in the last month, I view this as a long-term strategic risk. They control a significant portion of this supply, and that leverage will likely persist for the foreseeable future. (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel)
