Jaisalmer, July 02: Encouraged by striking of high quality oil in Kharpar area of Jaisalmer district recently, Oil and Natural Gas Commission has decided to dig four more wells in the border area. The recent find in Kharpar area is not normal crude oil that can be used after refining, but a special grade white oil which could be used directly in aviation, official sources said on Wednesday.
The high quality oil struck in a well early this year has been sent to ONGC's laboratory in Dehradun for chemical analysis, they said.
Since the oil and gas has been found in a pocket, four more wells have been planned after geological survey, sources said.

The oil and gas reserves found in Rajasthan desert are opposite Gabbar area of Pakistan where the neighbouring country has been exploiting huge gas potential in its Sui gas field, sources added.
Meanwhile, Oil India Limited (OIL) has also stepped up efforts by planning to deepen the wells dug earlier, using new techniques. Bureau Report
