4. INTRODUCTION HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF ONGC Before the
independence of India, the Assam oil Company in the north-eastern
and Attack Oil Company in north-western part of the undivided india
were the only oil producing companies, with minimal exploration
input. The major part of Indian sedimentary basins was deemed to be
unfit for development of oil and gas resources. After independence,
the Central Government of India realized the importance of oil and
gas for 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 hydrocarbon
resources of India. In Assam, the Assam Oil Company was producing
oil at digboi (discovered in 1889) and Oil India Ltd. (a 50% joint
venture between Government of India and Burmah Oil Company) was
engaged in developing two newly discovered large fields naharkatiya
and Moraan in Assam. In West Bengal, the Indo-Stanvac Petroleum
project (a joint venture between Goverment of india and Standard
Vacuum Oil Company of USA) was engaged in exploration work. The
vast sedimentary tract in other parts of India and adjoining
offshore remained largely unexplored. In 1955, Government of India
decided to develop the oil and natural gas resources in the various
regions of the country as part of the Public Sector development.
With this objective, an Oil and Natural Gas Directorate was set up
towards the end of 1955, as a subordinate office under the then
Ministry of Natural Resources and Scientific Research. The
department was constituted with a nucIn April 1956, the Government
of India adopted the Industrial Policy Resolution, which placed
Mineral Oil Industry among the schedule 'A' industries, the future
development of which was to be the sole and exclusive
responsibility of the state. leus of geoscientists from the
geological survey of india. A delegation under the leadership of
the Minister of Natural Resources visited several European
countries to study the status of oil industry in those countries
and to
5. facilitate the training of Indian professionals for
exploring potential oil and gas reserves. Experts from Romania, the
Soviet union, the united states and west germany subsequently
visited India and helped the government with their expertise.
soviet experts later drew up a detailed plan for geological and
geophysical surveys and drilling operations to be carried out in
the 2nd five year plan(1956-61). 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 limited financial and
administrative powers as subordinate office of the Government, to
function efficiently. So in August, 1956, the Directorate was
raised to the status of a commission with enhanced powers, although
it continued to be under the government. In October 1959, the
Commission was converted into a statutory body by an act of the
Indian Parliament, which enhanced powers of the commission further.
The main functions of the Oil and Natural Gas Commission subject to
the provisions of the Act, were "to plan, promote, organize and
implement programs for development of Petroleum Resources and the
production and sale of petroleum and petroleum products produced by
it, and to perform 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. Since its inception, ONGC has been instrumental in
transforming the country's limited upstream sector into a large
viable playing field, with its activities spread throughout 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 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 of Bombay High, now
known as Mumbai High. This discovery, along with subsequent
discoveries of huge oil and gas fields in Western offshore changed
the oil scenario of the country. Subsequently, over 5 billion tones
of hydrocarbons, which were present in the country, were
discovered. The most important contribution of ONGC, however, is
its self-reliance and development of core competence in E&P
activities at a globally competitive level. ONGC was set up under
the visionary leadership of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Pandit Nehru
reposed faith in ShriKeshavDevMalviya who laid the foundation of
ONGC in the form of Oil and Gas division, under Geological Survey
of India, in 1955. A few months later, it was converted into an Oil
and Natural Gas Directorate. The
6. Directorate was converted into Commission and christened Oil
& Natural Gas Commission on 14th August 1956. In 1994, Oil and
Natural Gas Commission was converted in to a Corporation, and in
1997 it was recognized as one of the Navratnas by the Government of
India. Subsequently, it has been conferred with Maharatna status in
the year 2010.Over 56 years of its existence ONGC has crossed many
a milestone to realize the energy dreams of India. The journey of
ONGC, over these years, has been a tale of conviction, courage and
commitment. ONGCs superlative efforts have resulted in converting
earlier frontier areas into new hydrocarbon provinces. From a
modest beginning, ONGC has grown to be one of the largest E&P
companies in the world in terms of reserves and production. ONGC as
an integrated Oil & Gas Corporate has developed in-house
capability in all aspects of exploration and production business
i.e., Acquisition, Processing & Interpretation (API) of Seismic
data, drilling, work-over and well stimulation operations,
engineering & construction, production, processing, refining,
transportation, marketing, applied R&D and training, etc.
Today, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. (ONGC) is, the leader
in Exploration & Production (E&P) activities in India
having 72% contribution to Indias total production of crude oil and
48% of natural gas. ONGC has established more than 7 Billion Tones
of in-place hydrocarbon reserves in the country. In fact, six out
of seven producing basins in India have been discovered by ONGC.
ONGC produces more than 1.27 million Barrels of Oil Equivalent
(BOE) per day. It also contributes over three million tons per
annum of Value-Added-Products including LPG, C2 - C3, Naphtha, MS,
HSD, Aviation Fuel, SKO etc. ABOUT ONGC Oil and Natural Gas
Corporation Limited (ONGC) is an Indian multinational oil and gas
company headquartered in Dehradun, India . It is a public secttor
undertaking (PSU) of the goverment of India, under the
administrative control of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas
. It is India's largest Oil and Gas exploration and production
company. It produces around 69% of India's crude oil(equivalent to
around 30% of the country's total demand) and around 62% of its
natural gas. ONGC currently holds a 68.94% equity stake. It is
involved in exploring for and exploiting hydrocarbons in 26
sedimentary basins of India, and owns and operates over 11,000
kilometers of pipelines in the country. Its international
subsidiary ONGC
7. Videsh currently has projects in 15 countries. ONGC has
discovered 6 of the 7 commercially producing Indian Basins, in the
last 50 years, adding over 7.1 billion tonnes of In-place Oil &
Gas volume of hydrocarbons in Indian basins. Against a global
decline of production from matured fields, ONGC has maintained
production from its brownfields like Mumbai High, with the help of
aggressive investments in various IOR (Improved Oil Recovery) and
EOR (enhance oil recovery) schemes. ONGC has many matured fields
with a current recovery factor of 25-33%.Its Reserve Replacement
Ratio for between 2005 and 2013, has been more than one.During FY
2012-13, ONGC had to share the highest ever under-recovery of INR
494.2 million an increase of INR 49.6 million over the previous
financial year) towards the under- recoveries of Oil Marketing
