Agartala, Aug 14 (TIWN) India’s northeastern state of Tripura has possibly the world's highest success rate when it came to yielding natural gas, a top official of state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) said Wednesday.

"ONGC has been striking gas in one out of every two wells drilled in Tripura, while the average ratio worldwide is one out of every three wells," ONGC’s group general manager Ved Prakash Mahawar said.
