PREFACE
The purpose of this report is to explain what I did and what I learned
during my Internship period with the Institute of Petroleum Safety
Health & Environment Management (IPSHEM), a unit of Oil and
Natural Gas Corporation Ltd located in Goa, India. This report is also
a requirement for partial fulfillment of Oil and Natural Gas
corporation (ONGC) Internship program. This report primarily
focuses on Controlling, Monitoring and Analysis of Budget of
IPSHEM. The report also implies various assignments handled byme, working environment and success and shortcomings of the
system followed in the Organization.
The Internship program is designed in such a way that student can
grasp maximum knowledge and get practical exposure to Industrial
environment in minimum possible time. However, time is a major
constraint in this program, but it provides an opportunity to the
student in understanding the industry with special emphasis on
development skills in analyzing and interpreting practical problems
though the application of theories and techniques of financial
management. This is a new platform of learning through practical
experience, which incorporates survey and comparative analysis.
And finally this Internship program has given me an opportunity to
relate the theory with practice, to test validity and applicability of my
classroom learning against real life industrial situations.

Overview of Industry as a whole:
TheOil Industrystarted off more than five thousand years back.Oil sipping up from the ground was used to make the boatswaterproof in the Middle East and also used as medicating as wellas for painting different things.
THE DEMAND FOR OIL WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN WHAT IT ACTUALLY
PRODUCEDAND THISBROUGHTFORWARD THE CONCEPT OFMAKING OIL
PRODUCTION COMPANIES WHICH IS COLLECTIVELY KNOWN AS THE OIL
INDUSTRY.
The Oil Industry is a very important industry in the world and alot depends on the price of the oil and it has been observed thatwhenever the oil prices increase the price of various productsalso increases. The Oil Industry also through oil productionaccounts for a large amount of the consumption of energy. Inthis issue the Middle East is in the first position and the lowest
consumption is done by the countries in Europe.According to the statistics the amount of oil consumed by the world everyyear is as many as 30 billion barrel among which nearly 25 percent of the oilconsumption is done by United States of America. The Oil Industry can be
parted in two, Upstream and Downstream. The importance of oil in the worldevolved at a slow pace but once it was identified, it became one of the mostimportant things in the lives of human beings.
Oil Industry Statistics: The oil sector is considered to be one of
the important areas of concern for the
It has acted as a challenge before the global economicscenario. There is fast growing oil consumption in the non-Asian countries.
The non-OECD Asia (Including both India and China)accounts for around 40 percent of the total increase in worldoil use. From estimation it is found that to meet the projectedincrease in world oil demand the total petroleum supply in
2030 is required to reach 250 million barrels per day from 164million barrels per day as of the year 2012.

The world oil consumption has increased by 1.2 million barrelsper day in the year 2005, even after the increase of 2.6 millionbarrels per day as in the year 2004.
In the year 2004, China's oil use have increased by 0.9 millionbarrels per day and at the same time its demand increased byonly 0.4 million barrels per day in 2005.
Among the various sectors, the transportation sector in theworld has led to a high pressure to the industry, as there arefew alternatives to the petroleum.
The Indian Scenario -
After the Indian Independence, the Oil Industry in India was a verysmall one in size and Oil was produced mainly from Assam and thetotal amount of Oil production was not more than 250,000 tons peryear.
This small amount of production made the oil experts from differentcountries predict the future of the oil industry as a dull one and alsodoubted India's ability to search for new oil reserves. But the
Government of India declared the Oil industry in India as the coresector industry under the Industrial Policy Resolution bill in the year1954, which helped the Oil Industry in India vastly.
Oil exploration and production in India is done by companies likeNOC or National Oil Corporation, ONGC or Oil and Natural GasCorporation and OIL who are actually the oil companies in India thatare owned by the government under the Industrial Policy Rule. The
National Oil Corporation during the 1970s used to produce and supply
more than 70 percent of the domestic need for the petroleum but bythe end of this amount dropped to near about 35 percent. This wasbecause the demand on the one hand was increasing at a good rate andthe production was declining at a steady rate.
World's sixth largest oil consumer, India bought crude oil worth astaggering $160 billion last fiscal.
According to a study by industrial body Assocham, the amount spentis equivalent to more than half of the country's total earnings fromexports during the same period. Looking from the imports angle and
6
7/31/2019 Ashu Report Finalll
7/129
the impact on the trade deficit, crude oil along with gold importsaccounted for 44.4 percent of India's total imports in 2011-12. Suchhigh level of imports exerts paramount pressure on India's external
payments .For the past five years, crude oil imports have been
equivalent to about 40 percent of the country's total exports. In 2011-12, the figure was at an astonishing high of over 53 percent. India'sexports crossed $300 billion in 2011-12, while imports stood at $485
billion. The maximum imports were of crude oil - about $160 billion -while gold and silver contributed to $60 billion in the last fiscal.
The study viewed that austerity in oil consumption will address aplethora of problems faced by India such as a rising trade deficit, abulging fuel subsidy bill and other macro imbalances.
Widening fiscal deficit and increasing of the current account deficitare among the main problems faced by the national economy as thesetwo issues have had their impact on some of the recent ratings outlookdowngrades done by the global agencies like Standard and Poor's andthe oil austerity will surely help.
The share of crude oil and gold imports has been increasing constantlyfor the last five years. These, together, accounted for 38.8 percent ofthe country's total import bill in 2007-08, which shot up to over 44
percent in the previous financial year. Crude alone was responsible forover 31 percent of the country's imports, while gold imports accountedfor 12.6 percent. The crude oil imports have not increased only
because of price increase in the last several years. In quantitative termsalso, these imports have shown a rising trend. The quantity of
petroleum imports has increased from 82 million tons in 2002-03 to164 million tons in 2010-11. Simultaneously, the average price ofcrude oil has also been rising over the years barring 2009-10.
As a result, the import bill of the country in rupee terms on account ofoil imports has risen by over 500 percent between 2002-03 and 2010-11. These imports have also been a big drain on India's foreignexchange reserves. In 2002-03, petroleum imports as proportion to thecountry's foreign exchange reserves were 23.18 percent. The ratiowent up to 34.80 percent in 2010-11, the paper disclosed.
"However, with the crude prices falling in the international market, theequation is expected to change in the on-going financial year of 2012-
13.Every fall in the crude oil prices was a good news for the Indianeconomy and the government's fiscal situation.

The Oil that is produced by the Oil Industry in India provides more
than 35 percent of the energy that is primarily consumed by the peopleof India. This amount is expected to grow further with both economicand overall growth in terms of production as well as percentage. Thedemand for oil is predicted to go higher and higher with every passingdecade and is expected to reach an amount of nearly 250 millionmetric ton by the year 2024.
Some of the major companies in the Oil Industry in India are:
Oil India Ltd. Reliance industries Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited Hindustan Petroleum

1.1 : Industry Profile
(a) Exploration & Production sector in India:
Exploration activity started in India way backing 1866 in the NorthernEastern state of Assam with the drilling of Digboi well, just seven years after
drilling of the first oil well in Pennsylvania, USA. For about a century theE&P activity was restricted to the North Eastern part of the country and tillearly 1960s the total crude production in India was only about 10,000 bpd.Burmah oil was the only company engaged in E&P activity. With thegrowing demand the government recognized the need for exploringhydrocarbon resources and accordingly set up Oil and Natural GasCommission in 1956. Burmah oil was also merged with Oil India limited.This was however taken over by the government of India in the year 1981.ONGC was converted into a public limited company in 1993.ONGC and
OIL enjoy the status of national oil companies and have a duopoly of 90%and 10%share respectively. The national oil companies market theirproduction directly except natural gas which is distributed through GasAuthority of India Ltd (GAIL). Thus, the upstream petroleum industry inIndia is over a century old, the Digboi field of Assam Oil Co having been puton production as early as in the year 1890. However, oil production in Indiaexceeded the figure of One million tons per year only in the year 1961 whenONGC put the Ankleswar field on production.
The production of crude oil increased to over 35 million tons per year in theyear 1997-1998. This represents only less than 50% of the countrys
10
7/31/2019 Ashu Report Finalll

requirement of petroleum. The balance has to be made good by importsputting our foreign exchange exchequer to a great strain. Considering theever-growing demand of petroleum at the rate of about 7% per annum, andthe dwindling reliance on indigenous production of oil and natural gas, the
Government of India in 1991, decided to open up the exploration andproduction of oil and natural gas to the private sector. The ministry ofPetroleum invites bids from the private parties/consortiums in a number of
bidding rounds. Consequently, as many as 30 small oil and gas fields around50 exploration blocks were awarded to private parties, for exploration and
production work. It was also decided by government to import liquefiedNatural Gas, to meet the ever growing requirement of natural gas in thecountry. The government also decided to open up oil exploration in thedeeper continental shelf by private parties.
(b) Indian Oil and Gas Industry
With the government gradually giving up control on the oil and gas sector infavor of market forces, Indian oil companies both upstream and downstreamare getting exposed to international price fluctuations. This is changing theground realities for this vital sector of the Indian economy.
(c) The Global Scenario
Globally, the oil and gas sector is dominated by certain large private
companies who have a presence in almost all segments of oil and gas valuechain. Historically, oil price has been the single most important challengefacing the global oil industry. The problem is all the more acute as the large
private companies account for only a small share of world oil productioneven as oil prices remain unpredictable and prone to wide production costsagainst the oil production costs of the Organization of Petroleum ExportingCountries and increasingly relying on technological innovations and othercosts cutting measures to lower their own production costs.
11
7/31/2019 Ashu Report Finalll
12/129
(d) The Indian Upstream Sector:
For the upstream players (the crude oil producers), the linkage to
international crude oil prices implies volatility in earnings. While a rise ininternational crude oil prices would translate into a positive contribution tothe bottom line, a decline in the international prices, on the other hand,would exert pressure on the margins of all upstream countries. The nationaloil companies would, however, is protected from the downside risk by thefloor price fixed by the government. But if the floor price is removed and theinternational oil prices drop to levels lower than the cost of production, eventhe national oil companies would require government intervention to protecttheir bottom line. What aggravates the risk further is the fact that decliningoil production and stagnating reserves dedicate that the upstream companiesventure into exploration areas that have a high-risk-high-return profile(likedeep water blocks). And this has implications for future exploration and
production (E&P) costs. Given the emerging scenario, ICRA expects thestrategies of the upstream players to focus on: use of battery recoverytechniques; employment of cost cutting measures; entry into high-risk-high-return areas(with the assumption that oil prices will not fall below the cost of
production);integration into downstream areas; partnering; venturing intoother geographical regions; and, undertaking organizational restructuring.ICRA believes that through the employment of these strategies, domestic
upstream players would be able to strengthen their position in their corebusiness (E&P) while at the same time diversifying their risk portfolio andenhancing their revenue base.
(e) The Indian downstream sector:
The phased dismantling of the APM has exposed the Indian downstreamplayers (refiners and marketers of petroleum products) to market forces. Therefining margins of the Indian refineries are now linked to the internationalrefining margins. A fluctuation in the international prices of crude oil/
product translates into a variation in the domestic margin (although they are,to a large extent, protected by the positive net duty protection). In the first 18months of decontrol (fiscal year 1999 and first half of fiscal year 2000) the
profitability of Indian refineries has increased (and is expected to increasefurther) as their margins have increased following higher duty protection,
and linkage of crude and product prices with international prices. Howeveron the side, the expected surplus in the domestic market may limit this
12
7/31/2019 Ashu Report Finalll
13/129
margin expansion. The other factor influencing the profitability of Indianrefineries in the deregulated scenario would be refinery configuration,operating cost, and refinery location. The ownership of marketing anddistribution infrastructure would be strategic importance and would enhance
profitability as a marketing sector is decontrolled. While the profitability ofthe integrated players would be higher and more resilient to economictroughs, the pure refining companies would find it difficult to sustain
profitability in a decontrolled scenario. Accordingly, the pure refining andmarketing sector is likely to lead to severe competition among the various
players in the industry, and a greater focus on branding and productdifferentiation. Given the changes taking place, ICRA expects the strategiesof downstream players to focus on: strengthening import infrastructure;enhancing scale of operations; upgrading processing facilities; implementingenvironmental projects; strengthening marketing and distributioninfrastructure and promoting brands; entering into strategic alliances;venturing into other areas of the energy value chain for optimizing the risk-return profile; and restructuring the organization.
(f) The Indian gas sub-sector:
The share of natural gas in Indias energy mix has increased more than threetimes since the early 1980s. Energy efficiency, multiplicity of applications,
and environment neutrality are the key factors that are likely to propel furtherrise in demand for gas in India. The increase in demand could come bothfrom the existing uses of natural gas and from newer application. A risingdemand for gas has implications on the supply level. An increased thrust onliquefied natural gas imports would signal positive developments on thesupply front. ICRA also expects the decontrol of the oil sector to enable theexisting oil companies to pursue gas distribution, is likely to benefit from theexpected rise in natural gas supplies. Besides, its exposure to price riskswould be minimal because of the fixed nature of natural gas transportation
tariffs.Likely Strategic Initiatives: - ICRA believes that in response to the phasedderegulation, the strategic initiatives of the various players in the energyvalue chain would focus on the following factors. Product mix. This willhave to be in line with market demand. Technology would play a major rolein influencing the product mix. Cost competitiveness. Technologicaladvancements and scale of operations would have an impact on operatingcosts. Infrastructure/ Logistics. The ownership of infrastructure for sourcingcrude oil and the logistics for distributing finished products would have a
considerable impact on operating costs. Integration into different elements ofthe value chain would be imperative for bringing synergetic benefits,
13
7/31/2019 Ashu Report Finalll
14/129
reducing volatility in earnings, and enhancing value addition. Brandbuilding, pricing, and packaging. These would be used as tools to delivergreater value to customers.
1.2: The Key Players in Indias Energy Sector:
Coal India Limited (CIL) was created after 1973-74 nationalization ofIndias coal industry. CIL acts as a holding company and was
designed to integrate and streamline the industry. Its eight regionalsubsidiaries accounts for about 90 percent of Indias coal output andoperates 510 mines and 16 coking coal washeries.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas sets policies and overseasthe oil and gas industry.
In 1959, the Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC) was formed bythe government to run Indias main upstream activities. In 1994, it waschanged from a Commission to a Corporation in preparation foreventual privatization.
Oil India Limited (OIL) controls upstream activities in northeasternareas such as Assam.
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is Indias latest refining and marketingcompany. It also is responsible for purchasing imported crude oil.
Other refining/ marketing companies include Hindustan Petroleum,Bharat Petroleum, Madras Refineries, and Cochin Refineries.
1.3: Energy Scenario
While the frequency of rise in oil prices is increasing each decade , thepossibility of a downward trend in global oil prices seems bleak. Energysecurity, as an issue of national strategic importance ,came to take the centrestage of the planning process against the backdrop of frequent rise in globalcrude oil prices .Our strong dependence on fossil fuels will continue for most
part of the 21st century .Energy security has an important bearing onachieving national economic development goals and improving the qualityof life of the people The level of per capita energy consumption has for long
been consider as one of the key indicators of economic growth .Thecontinued dependence of the nation on fossil fuels is loaded against it with
14
7/31/2019 Ashu Report Finalll
15/129
inherent price volatility linked to finite global reserves. In addition ,globalwarming, caused largely by greenhouse gas emissions from fossil-fuelgenerating system , is also a major concern. India needs to develop alternatefuels considering the aforesaid two concern. In addition, indiscriminate and
inefficient burning of fuel wood in traditional chulhas and in industries forthermal process heat has resulted in environmental pollution and healthhazards
Profile of the Organisation:
1.5: History of ONGC
1947 - 1960
During the pre-independence period, the Assam Oil Company in thenortheastern and Attock Oil company in northwestern part of the undivided India
were the only oil companies producing oil in the country, with minimalexploration input. The major part of Indian sedimentary basins was deemed to beunfit for development of oil and gas resources.
After independence, the national Government realized the importance oil and gasfor rapid industrial development and its strategic role in defense. Consequently,while framing the Industrial Policy Statement of 1948, the development of
petroleum industry in the country was considered to be of utmost necessity.
Until 1955, private oil companies mainly carried out exploration of hydrocarbonresources of India. In Assam, the Assam Oil Company was producing oil atDigboi (discovered in 1889) and the Oil India Ltd. (a 50% joint venture betweenGovernment of India and Burmah Oil Company) was engaged in developing twonewly discovered large fields Naharkatiya and Moran in Assam. In West Bengal,the Indo-Stanvac Petroleum project (a joint venture between Government ofIndia and Standard Vacuum Oil Company of USA) was engaged in explorationwork. The vast sedimentary tract in other parts of India and adjoining offshoreremained largely unexplored.
In 1955, Government of India decided to develop the oil and natural gasresources in the various regions of the country as part of the Public Sector
15
7/31/2019 Ashu Report Finalll
16/129
development. With this objective, an Oil and Natural Gas Directorate was set uptowards the end of 1955, as a subordinate office under the then Ministry of
Natural Resources and Scientific Research. The department was constituted with
a nucleus of geoscientists from the Geological survey of India.
A delegation under the leadership of Mr. K D Malviya, the then Minister ofNatural Resources, visited several European countries to study the status of oilindustry in those countries and to facilitate the training of Indian professionalsfor exploring potential oil and gas reserves. Foreign experts from USA, WestGermany, Romania and erstwhile U.S.S.R visited India and helped thegovernment with their expertise. Finally, the visiting Soviet experts drew up adetailed plan for geological and geophysical surveys and drilling operations to becarried out in the 2nd Five Year Plan (1956-57 to 1960-61).
In April 1956, the Government of India adopted the Industrial Policy Resolution,which placed mineral oil industry among the schedule 'A' industries, the futuredevelopment of which was to be the sole and exclusive responsibility of the state.
Soon, after the formation of the Oil and Natural Gas Directorate, it becameapparent that it would not be possible for the Directorate with its limitedfinancial and administrative powers as subordinate office of the Government, tofunction efficiently. So in August, 1956, the Directorate was raised to the status
of a commission with enhanced powers, although it continued to be under thegovernment. In October 1959, the Commission was converted into a statutory
body by an act of the Indian Parliament, which enhanced powers of thecommission further. The main functions of the Oil and Natural Gas Commissionsubject to the provisions of the Act, were "to plan, promote, organize andimplement programmes for development of Petroleum Resources and the
production and sale of petroleum and petroleum products produced by it, and toperform such other functions as the Central Government may, from time to time,assign to it ". The act further outlined the activities and steps to be taken by
ONGC in fulfilling its mandate.
1961 - 1990
Since its inception, ONGC has been instrumental in transforming the country'slimited upstream sector into a large viable playing field, with its activities spreadthroughout India and significantly in overseas territories. In the inland areas,ONGC not only found new resources in Assam but also established new oil
province in Cambay basin (Gujarat), while adding new petroliferous areas in the
16
7/31/2019 Ashu Report Finalll
17/129
Assam-Arakan Fold Belt and East coast basins (both inland and offshore).
ONGC went offshore in early 70's and discovered a giant oil field in the form ofBombay High, now known as Mumbai High. This discovery, along withsubsequent discoveries of huge oil and gas fields in Western offshore changedthe oil scenario of the country. Subsequently, over 5 billion tons ofhydrocarbons, which were present in the country, were discovered. The mostimportant contribution of ONGC, however, is its self-reliance and developmentof core competence in E&P activities at a globally competitive level.
After 1990
The liberalized economic policy, adopted by the Government of India in July1991, sought to deregulate and de-license the core sectors (including petroleumsector) with partial disinvestments of government equity in Public SectorUndertakings and other measures. As a consequence thereof, ONGC was re-organized as a limited Company under the Company's Act, 1956 in February1994.
After the conversion of business of the erstwhile Oil & Natural Gas Commissionto that of Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Limited in 1993, the Governmentdisinvested 2 per cent of its shares through competitive bidding. Subsequently,ONGC expanded its equity by another 2 per cent by offering shares to itsemployees.
During March 1999, ONGC, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) - a downstream giant
and Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) - the only gas marketing company,agreed to have cross holding in each other's stock. This paved the way for long-term strategic alliances both for the domestic and overseas business opportunitiesin the energy value chain, amongst themselves. Consequent to this theGovernment sold off 10 per cent of its share holding in ONGC to IOC and 2.5
per cent to GAIL. With this, the Government holding in ONGC came down to84.11 per cent.
In the year 2002-03, after taking over MRPL from the A V Birla Group, ONGC
diversified into the downstream sector. ONGC will soon be entering into theretailing business. ONGC has also entered the global field through its subsidiary,
17

ONGC Videsh Ltd. (OVL). ONGC has made major investments in Vietnam,Sakhalin and Sudan and earned its first hydrocarbon revenue from its investmentin Vietnam.

ICD Research surveys oil and gas executives' expectations for the growth prospects of theircompanies. The report provides an insight into the type and likelihood of structural changes inthe competitive landscape in terms of mergers, acquisitions and business structure.
To gain insight into confidence levels and the mood of the oil and gas sector ICD Researchcarried out a survey of the industry's top executives. The results also revealed the likely effectsthat the recession and recovery will have on competition within the industry.
57% of respondents in the upstream and downstream oil and gas industry are more optimistic
about revenue growth for their companies over the next 12 months, relative to the previous 12months (Figure 1). A further 26% are neutral about revenue growth compared with 13% whowere less optimistic about their company's revenue prospects.
The overall high level of optimism in the oil and gas industry compared with Q2 2009 mightsuggest either a strong belief in the imminent end to the global economic upheaval or successfulsteps being taken by companies to increase revenues and reduce costs, and the emergence ofnew profitable markets.
Downstream and midstream
Companies in the downstream and midstream segment are more optimistic about revenuegrowth over the next 12 months (Table 1). The rise in fuel use for road and air transportation is
primarily driving demand for refined petroleum products such as air turbine fuel and diesel.
"Oil and gas buyers are more optimistic compared with suppliers about revenue growth in thenext year."
Moreover, the use of natural gas in commercial vehicles and industrial use is further drivinginvestment in storage infrastructure for the refined petroleum products of compressed natural gasand liquefied natural gas.
Companies are focusing on increasing their revenue generation by means of adding theirrefining and storage capacities with much of the global refining capacity additions coming into
play in 2009-10 within Asian countries.
Companies are also focusing on sustaining high operating rates, improving efficiency andreducing operating costs.
Upstream oil and gas
Explorers/producers and suppliers in the upstream oil and gas industry have voiced optimism
about the industry growth rate. The majority of buyers and suppliers expect the industry to growat a faster or equal rate against the global GDP growth rate of 2%. The GDP of advanced

economies is expected to grow by 1% in 2010.
In general, buyer companies are more optimistic compared with suppliers about revenue growth
in the next year. Overall, suppliers' optimism level has increased considerably from 2009 due tothe growth in optimism levels among the buyer companies across different industries. Somesuppliers also have long-term contracts set up and greater selling power than buyers or are notunduly affected by reduced demand.
The optimism level in the upstream oil and gas sector has considerably increased in 2010 fromthat of 2009 fueled by improved cash flows and credit metrics during the year as a result ofhigher oil prices. In the case of the downstream and midstream oil and gas sector, contract
backlogs and the rise in oil prices are expected to provide the required support to activity levelsand credit profiles of companies operating in the sector.
Globally, the optimism level is high in the oil and gas sector due to a rise in explorationsuccesses and a more stable oil price, indicating that the sector is on the recovery path.
Regional growth expectations
Analysis of respondents' expectations by region reveals that 45% of European respondents areoptimistic about revenue growth over the coming year compared with 56% of North Americanrespondents, 61% of Asia Pacific respondents and 63% from the rest of the world region (Table2).
"The GDP of advanced economies is expected to grow by 1% in 2010."
The optimism level of European respondents is lower compared with other respondents as somecountries in the region (for example, Russia) are facing major challenges due to a steepslowdown in production levels and credit difficulties faced by many companies across the oilindustry value chain.
The European oil and gas sector should rebound by 2010-11 driven by the increased funding forcapital expenditures, leading to a considerable rise of investment in the sector.
Optimism in North American companies substantially increased in 2010 over 2009 in tandemwith the growth of the economy and GDP. The credit worthiness of large integrated upstream oiland gas companies is set to improve in North America driven by their oil-heavy upstream
portfolios, sizable cash balances and reasonably low net debt levels.
The optimism level is high in the rest of the world and the Asia-Pacific region due to the fasteconomic growth in countries such as China, India and in the Middle East. Investments in the oiland gas sector are expected to increase in Asia and the Middle East in sectors such as drilling,transportation and storage infrastructure segments.
Essar Oil's gas reserve discovery in the Raniganj field in India is expected to drive upinvestment in this sector. Investment in natural gas transportation is exemplified by the recent
signing of a gas transportation agreement between Origin Energy and Epic Energy for building agas pipeline to connect Eastern Australia with the rest of the country.

The International Energy Agency estimates that global refining capacity will increase by1.8mbpd in 2009, with Asia accounting for around 80% of the increase. Successes in crude oildrilling sites in African countries such as Nigeria and Egypt also aided in increasing theoptimism levels in these regions. The increase of spending in technology development such ashigh level engineering services and reliable engineering management further helped in boostingthe optimism level of respondents across all regions.
Small oil and gas companies
"45% of European respondents are optimistic about revenue growth over the coming year."
Around 61% of respondents from smaller oil and gas companies, with revenues up to $100m,are more optimistic about revenue growth as compared to respondents from medium and large-sized companies (Table 3). This indicates that the recession might have leveled out the
competition, resulting in smaller companies having fair access to a wider audience to impressand gain business.
Many companies are forming partnerships to optimise working capital and reduce costs, andthey are also planning to venture into low-cost countries in Asia for reducing production costs.
The net difference in optimism trends for the oil and gas industry was mapped with theindividual results of 19 other industries. The global and extensive nature of the ICD ResearchSurvey 2010 helps us understand the position of the oil and gas industry in relation to othermajor industries. The oil and gas industry occupies seventh position in the list with a relativeoptimism trend of 44% in its favour. This indicates that the sector is well into the recovery path
along with other sectors that are driving the economy.

1.5: History of ONGC
1947 - 1960
During the pre-independence period, the Assam Oil Company in thenortheastern and Attock Oil company in northwestern part of the undividedIndia were the only oil companies producing oil in the country, with minimalexploration input. The major part of Indian sedimentary basins was deemed
to be unfit for development of oil and gas resources.
After independence, the national Government realized the importance oil andgas for rapid industrial development and its strategic role in defense.Consequently, while framing the Industrial Policy Statement of 1948, thedevelopment of petroleum industry in the country was considered to be ofutmost necessity.
Until 1955, private oil companies mainly carried out exploration ofhydrocarbon resources of India. In Assam, the Assam Oil Company was
producing oil at Digboi (discovered in 1889) and the Oil India Ltd. (a 50%
50
7/31/2019 Ashu Report Finalll
51/129
joint venture between Government of India and Burmah Oil Company) wasengaged in developing two newly discovered large fields Naharkatiya andMoran in Assam. In West Bengal, the Indo-Stanvac Petroleum project (a
joint venture between Government of India and Standard Vacuum Oil
Company of USA) was engaged in exploration work. The vast sedimentarytract in other parts of India and adjoining offshore remained largelyunexplored.
In 1955, Government of India decided to develop the oil and natural gasresources in the various regions of the country as part of the Public Sectordevelopment. With this objective, an Oil and Natural Gas Directorate was setup towards the end of 1955, as a subordinate office under the then Ministryof Natural Resources and Scientific Research. The department wasconstituted with a nucleus of geoscientists from the Geological survey ofIndia.
A delegation under the leadership of Mr. K D Malviya, the then Minister ofNatural Resources, visited several European countries to study the status ofoil industry in those countries and to facilitate the training of Indian
professionals for exploring potential oil and gas reserves. Foreign expertsfrom USA, West Germany, Romania and erstwhile U.S.S.R visited India andhelped the government with their expertise. Finally, the visiting Sovietexperts drew up a detailed plan for geological and geophysical surveys and
drilling operations to be carried out in the 2nd Five Year Plan (1956-57 to1960-61).
In April 1956, the Government of India adopted the Industrial PolicyResolution, which placed mineral oil industry among the schedule 'A'industries, the future development of which was to be the sole and exclusiveresponsibility of the state.
Soon, after the formation of the Oil and Natural Gas Directorate, it became
apparent that it would not be possible for the Directorate with its limitedfinancial and administrative powers as subordinate office of the Government,to function efficiently. So in August, 1956, the Directorate was raised to thestatus of a commission with enhanced powers, although it continued to beunder the government. In October 1959, the Commission was converted intoa statutory body by an act of the Indian Parliament, which enhanced powersof the commission further. The main functions of the Oil and Natural GasCommission subject to the provisions of the Act, were "to plan, promote,organize and implement programmes for development of PetroleumResources and the production and sale of petroleum and petroleum products
produced by it, and to perform such other functions as the Central
51
7/31/2019 Ashu Report Finalll
52/129
Government may, from time to time, assign to it ". The act further outlinedthe activities and steps to be taken by ONGC in fulfilling its mandate.
1961 - 1990
Since its inception, ONGC has been instrumental in transforming thecountry's limited upstream sector into a large viable playing field, with itsactivities spread throughout India and significantly in overseas territories. Inthe inland areas, ONGC not only found new resources in Assam but alsoestablished new oil province in Cambay basin (Gujarat), while adding new
petroliferous areas in the Assam-Arakan Fold Belt and East coast basins(both inland and offshore).
ONGC went offshore in early 70's and discovered a giant oil field in the formof Bombay High, now known as Mumbai High. This discovery, along withsubsequent discoveries of huge oil and gas fields in Western offshorechanged the oil scenario of the country. Subsequently, over 5 billion tons ofhydrocarbons, which were present in the country, were discovered. The mostimportant contribution of ONGC, however, is its self-reliance anddevelopment of core competence in E&P activities at a globally competitivelevel.
After 1990
The liberalized economic poli
