October 18, 2021: Natural Gas Price Trends: Global And Domestic. Click column Gas Scene for details.
October 14, 2021: Rig count represents the total number of active drilling rigs in the world. Demand for drilling rig is highly dependent on crude oil price. When the oil price increases, demand for exploration activity increases. Click column Special Database for an update of the global rig count.
October 11, 2021 | Hardeep Puri Needs To Put The House In Order: The government continues to believe that domestic crude production can be increased only if foreign players are persuaded to join the hunt, either as partners of domestic producers or by farming out some fields to them through auctions. The foreign companies are not overly enthusiastic about India. In the 1970s, ONGC discovered quite a few oil and gas fields including Bombay High and South Bassein. All these discoveries were from blocks that the government had granted on a nomination basis. The problems really began when it decided to go in for exploration acreage rounds on the basis of competitive bidding. This marks the beginning of a disastrous phase in the life of ONGC and OIL. But one thing is absolutely clear: like Shakespeare’s King Lear, ONGC and Oil India are "more sinned against than sinning". Click Free Access Column Petro Intelligence for a comprehensive piece.

On April 10, 2021 www.indianoilandgas.com entered the 28th year of service to the Indian and international oil and gas industry. When the hardcopy version with its masthead, Indian Oil & Gas, came out 28 years ago, India’s petroleum industry was almost totally controlled by the government.
