- The Khurmala Dome spans approximately 22 km in length and 3 km in width
- Its tertiary reservoir primarily comprises limestone with favorable porosity and permeability, alongside relatively low fracture density
- While boasting the largest gas cap in the region, Khurmala Dome features a comparatively short oil column
- Anticipated oil production from the Khurmala Dome is estimated at 100,000 barrels per day of stock tank dry oil, accompanied by up to 100 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of associated gas
- The production operations will be centralized around three degassing stations: Khurmala North, Khurmala Middle, and Khurmala South
- Each station will feature individual flow lines for oil gathering, with initial gas separation conducted through first-stage separators
- Oil and gas from the satellite stations will be routed to the center of operations (CPS-1 & CPS-2 Station) for second-stage separation, oil treatment, gas compression, and dehydration
- Effluent water will undergo treatment and re-injection into dumping wells for disposal
