July 20, 2018: Fiscal 2017-18 was a highly profitable year for oil and gas companies in India. All except BPCL and MRPL made significant Profit After Tax (PAT) during the fiscal. Click column Special Database for an update.
July 19, 2018: India's gas sales comprise domestically produced gas and Re-gasified (R-LNG). Click Column Gas Scene for month-wise, sector-wise consumption of domestically produced gas and R-LNG from April 2017 to March 2018 which is fiscal 2017-18.
July 18, 2018: The previous exploration acreage round, New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP), launched in the 1990s cannot be called a total failure. Though no commercial field could be discovered, it did add to hydrocarbon reserves through quite a few small and marginal fields.

July 10, 2018 | Kowtowing to Trump: If you are not totally with me, you are against me. This seems to be the Trumpian doctrine in international relations. He does not care for the equivocations of fence-sitters. European allies differ with President Trump on the issue of scrapping the nuclear deal with Iran, but they haven’t summoned up enough courage to challenge the re-imposition of sanctions against Iran. China has begun to retaliate against trade war unleashed by Trump but the speed and manner of its retaliation is no match for Trump’s fury. India has been caught in a cleft stick. Indian refineries stand to benefit by processing Iranian crude but the government will not like to defy the sanctions re-imposed by the Trump administration. Refineries will not be starved of crude oil but their refining margins will shrink. India has moved closer to USA since the signing of the nuclear deal when George Bush was the US president and Manmohan Singh India’s prime minister. Iran crude will not reach Indian refineries till the sanctions against Iran are lifted. Click Free Access column Petro Intelligence for a comprehensive story on the subject.
