There is a possibility of finding a crude oil well near Sagarpali village in Ballia district of Uttar Pradesh. ONGC has started drilling for this purpose. As a result, there is a possibility of acquisition of land of the surrounding farmers, which can make the farmers rich.

Huge reserves of crude oil have been found in the land of the family of freedom fighter Chittu Pandey in Ballia.

After a three-month survey in the Ganges basin, oil reserves have been discovered at a depth of 3,000 meters in this land. ONGC has leased six and a half acres of land from the Senani family for three years and is paying 10 lakh rupees annually.

It is said that there is oil at a depth of 3,000 meters. According to ONGC officials, there are oil reserves here, but they are very deep. For this, 3,001 meters deep drilling is being done. 25,000 liters of water is being used daily for this drilling. According to officials, the drilling work is progressing very fast. It is expected that the boring work to the surface will be completed by the end of April. After getting positive reports from here, similar wells will be dug in other identified places in the Ganges basin.

The luck of the farmers will also open

Land owner Neel Pandey said, ONGC company has agreed to pay us 10 lakh rupees annually for 3 years for our land. After 3 years it will be extended for another 1 year. Drilling work is being done here to explore the possibility of crude oil reserves. If oil is found during drilling, ONGC company will acquire all the surrounding land at high prices, which will greatly benefit the farmers.

This crude oil reserve extends over an area of 300 kilometers.

According to the information, this huge reserve of crude oil and gas extends from Sagarpali village of Ballia to Phaphamau of Prayagraj, which covers an area of 300 kilometers. With the availability of this reserve, India will not only become self-sufficient in the energy sector but also end its dependence on Arab countries. It is said that this huge reserve of crude oil will supply energy for many decades.
