Gridlocked Gas Grids: The Great Indian Tragedy: China imports natural gas, both pipeline gas and LNG, from all available sources. Piped natural gas comes to China from Turkmenistan, Myanmar and by end of 2019, the 2800 km long pipeline from Russia will be commissioned. Ignoring sanctions against Russia, Angela Merkel of Germany is supporting Russia-led Nord Stream Two, the undersea Baltic Pipeline that will supply Russian natural gas directly to Germany. Even Pakistan has decided in favour of a Russian pipeline to get Russian share of gas in Iran. In comparison, India whose economy is acknowledged to be the fastest growing in the world and third largest crude importer stands no chance of getting piped gas in the near future. The Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) pipeline stands scuttled, the Asian Development Bank–sponsored Turkmenistan, Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) pipeline shows no sign of taking off. What has gone wrong?

On April 10, 2018 www.indianoilandgas.com entered the 25th year of service to the Indian and international oil and gas industry. When the hardcopy version with its masthead, Indian Oil & Gas, came out 25 years ago, India’s petroleum industry was almost totally controlled by the government.
