ONGC has successfully capped the blowout at Well Mori-5, completing the operation in a record five days. The blowout occurred on 5 January 2026 during service operations carried out by contractor M/s Deep Industries Limited. ONGC activated its in-house Crisis Management framework and deployed specialised manpower and equipment to contain the situation safely. This press release is the final official communication on the Mori-5 incident, formally concluding all field-level updates. The company acknowledged support from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, local administration, the Member of Parliament from Amlapuram, and the MLA from Razole in resolving the situation.
Positive for the stock — the quick five-day resolution showcases ONGC's operational excellence and crisis response capability, and the formal closure of the incident removes any near-term uncertainty. The underlying blowout remains a minor safety concern, but the swift containment limits reputational and operational damage for shareholders.
