New Oil & Gas Blocks
Two onshore DSF round-IV blocks have been approved to Antelopus Selan Energy. One of the blocks is located in the Krishna Godavari basin in Andhra Pradesh, while the other is located in the Cambay basin in Gujarat. DSF scheme is a government initiative, under which the smaller oil/gas fields would be developed by private entities and others.
What Are DSF Blocks
The Discovered Small Field (DSF) programme is a government initiative aimed at bringing discovered but underdeveloped oil and gas resources into production.
Under the programme, companies can bid for discovered hydrocarbon fields and undertake activities such as exploration, development and production. This allows companies to increase domestic oil and gas production by developing smaller fields that may not have been developed under traditional large-field projects. In the latest round, both contract areas awarded to Antelopus Selan Energy are onshore blocks, meaning the exploration and production activities will take place on land rather than offshore.
Importance Of The New Blocks
The latest development is important because it adds new acreage to Antelopus Selan Energy’s oil and gas portfolio. Both blocks are located in regions where the company already has an operating presence. Antelopus already operates the Dangeru and Mukkamala contract area in the onshore Krishna Godavari Basin, where it holds a 100% participating interest.
The addition of new blocks in the KG and Cambay basins could allow the company to expand its exploration and production activities while using its existing experience and operational capabilities in these regions. However, the financial benefit from the new blocks cannot be determined at this stage. The company will need to complete the RSC
Financial Performance
Looking at the quarterly results of Antelopus Selan Energy Limited, the company’s revenue from operations increased by 146.9 percent YoY, from Rs. 53.56 crore in Q1 FY26 to Rs. 132.23 crore in Q1 FY27, and grew by 27.5 percent QoQ from Rs. 103.74 crore in Q4 FY26.
In Q1 FY27, Antelopus Selan Energy Limited’s net profit increased by 384.1 percent YoY, reaching Rs. 54.32 crore compared to Rs. 11.22 crore during the same period last year. As compared to Q4 FY26, the net profit increased by 42.6 percent, from Rs. 38.08 crore.
The adjusted earnings per share increased by 384.3 percent YoY and stood at Rs. 15.45, as against Rs. 3.19 recorded in the same quarter of the previous year
Investor Perspective
The award of two new onshore contract areas is a positive development for Antelopus Selan Energy, as it expands the company’s oil and gas asset portfolio and strengthens its presence in the Krishna Godavari and Cambay basins.
The company is also coming off a strong Q1 FY27, with significant growth in both revenue and net profit. However, investors should note that the new blocks are still at an early stage, and their eventual contribution will depend on the execution of the RSCs, resource assessment, development activities and commercial production.
Investors should therefore track the execution of the Revenue Sharing Contracts, further asset details, exploration activity and production plans before assessing the long-term financial impact of the new blocks.
