A company source cited low US gas prices as the main reason for the exit, stating that the venture was not generating sufficient profits. GAIL had entered the US shale market in 2011 by acquiring a 20% stake in Carrizo Oil & Gas Inc.’s Eagle Ford Shale acreage for $95 million. The asset covered 20,200 acres, with GAIL controlling 4,040 net acres.

The Eagle Ford asset currently produces 3,681 barrels of oil and 5,368 cubic feet of gas per day. GAIL’s interest includes 92 producing wells and 48 additional drilling locations. The net present value of its stake is estimated at $26.36 million.

This exit follows changes in asset operatorship and aligns with GAIL’s strategy to optimize investments and focus on core gas business operations.
