In late May 2019 Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) announced through a media release, it has made a gas and condensate discovery within the Billakurua 1 (BK AA) new-field wildcat well, located within the Godavari Onland ML (Krishna-Godavari Basin). The well was reported to have tested two intervals having flowed ~1.6 MMcfg/d and ~4.2 MMcfg/d with ~190 bc/d, from an unreported Formation and has opened the southern flank of Pudru Yanam high for further exploration.     The well has been assumed to have      been both spudded during January 2019 and suspended during April 2019.   A TD has been estimated to be      around 2,500 m from regional drilling activity.    Godavari Onland ML was awarded to ONGC (100%) with effect from 1 January 2013. The original area of 2,645 sq km was reduced to 2,633 sq km following the award of the KG/ONDSF/BHIMANAPALLI/2016 and KG/ONDSF/ACHANTA/2016 blocks on 27 March 2017, under the Discovered Small Fields (DSF) 2016 bid round.
