NEW DELHI, July 16 (Reuters) - Indian exploration firm Gujarat State Petroleum Corp (GSPC) has found more gas in its deepwater block in the Krishna Godavari basin, off India's east coast, the upstream regulator, V.K. Sibal, said on Wednesday.

"They have informed us about the new gas discovery. It is in a new well -- KG-22," Sibal told Reuters.

"From the initial observations, production testing is not yet complete, reservoir quality seems to be good," Sibal said.

A GSPC official confirmed the find.

"We have found gas in the KG-22 well. Initial flow has been 27.3 mmscfd (million cubic feet a day) through a choke size of 28/64 inches," GSPC General Manager M.Y. Farooqui told Reuters. (Reporting by Nidhi Verma, Editing by Mark Williams)
