The ONGC is keen to start oil exploration in Nagaland which had to be stopped for the last 15 years due to law and order problems.
"There is no misunderstanding with the Nagaland government and we are keen to start exploring the vast oil reserves in the state," ONGC director, headquarters, Dr AK Balyan said here today.
"We are waiting for the government's nod so that we can start the exploration work at the earliest", he said.
Balyan revealed that Assam's Arakan basin added two discoveries to its account in 2009-10 - one in 'Kasomarigaon' (Golaghat district) and the other in 'North Seleki' (Sibsagar district.
The 'Kasomarigaon' will be put on production within a month which is a record time, he said.
He said the ONGC is on the path of modernisation while automation work was done at the two oldest gas gathering stations at Sibsagar.
