Oil and Gas India
An Overview

Sahil Jain 11/17/2012

Introduction
India imports roughly 75 percent of its total oil consumption and the remaining 25 percent is primarily produced by National Oil Companies (NOCs). Concerned by the alarming increase in our oil import bill, the government has taken several steps to reduce our dependency on imported oil. But even after more than a decade of introduction of policies like the New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP, 1997-98) and allowing 100 percent FDI in Exploration and Production (E&P), the supply of indigenously produced oil has not been able to keep-up with the rapidly increasing demand.

The industry remains regulated as the price of transportation fuel, PDS Kerosene and Domestic LPG is controlled by the government, though the government has shown interest in coupling domestic prices with the global oil prices.

    People are trying to reduce the consumption level of expensive products due to their low disposable income and limited purchasing power. Especially, the people of middle class income level are trying to find substitute energy resources of oil and gas due to hike in oil and gas price (Shelley 27). Apart from economic issues, the global oil and gas exploration and production industry is suffering from several global political issues. Several under developed and developing countries have to pay high petroleum tax to the oil and gas producing countries in order to improve the crude oil. High tension and critical political conflicts between several countries are affecting the growth of this global oil and gas exploration and production industry. In addition to these, several countries have developed strict regulations regarding the extraction of oil and gas. Extraction of oil and gas from oil mine requires the uses of several deadly chemicals. It can affect the global ecological balance. Looking into this issue, the government of several countries developed strict rules and regulations regarding the extraction of oil. It is expected that the number of total oil reservoirs and mines can be decreased due to these issues and challenges. Government of United States provides a huge public subsidy to the oil and gas companies (Odell 49). Moreover, the government of United States provides…

    The main features of this paper are summarized in the abstract of the article. The authors state the research problem, the design of the study, the population, and the results of the study. The abstract in this research report is 243 words, which is slightly lengthier than an abstract should be. It may have been more effective to organize the information under headings such as, “Background, Objectives, Method, Results, Conclusions, and Key Words” (Loiselle & Profetto-McGrath, 2011, p. 58), instead of clumping the information into one dense paragraph that is difficult to read.…

    Within the last two years, the oil industry has increased the price of oil causing gas prices to rise to $3.00 a gallon today. It was only a few years ago that the price of gas was $1.00 a gallon. There have been many complaints against the oil industry on price gauging and monopolizing the industry. Oil companies are reaching sales up to $100 billion and they are seeing profits in the $10 million range. These are the facts that we receive from the media and the government to portray a negative image on the oil industry. The oil industry does not seem to be getting their fair shake and peoples perception from the media and government reaction have clouded the statements issued by the oil industry.…

    Crude oil, since its discovery in commercial quantity in 1956, has been the main economic stay of my country, Nigeria. Mbendi (2012) reveals that Nigeria is the 10th largest oil producer in the world, the 3rd largest in Africa and the lost prolific oil producer in Sub-Saharan Africa; Nigeria is also a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The oil industry in Nigeria is regulated by the Ministry of Petroleum Resources who retains close control over the industry and activities of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The Federal Government of Nigeria, as reported by Chiejina (2012), over the years operated fuel subsidy regime aimed at making petroleum products available for its growing population to mitigate the effect of actual market prices of the products on the general populace. Based on the pricing template of PPPRA, the expected pump price is N144.70. However, the official pump price in Nigeria is N65 per litre. The difference which is N79.70 is what the government subsidises, which is how it has been for the past five years. The reason for this subsidization is to help reduce how much Nigerians have to pay for petroleum products (i.e. fuel, gas, diesel and kerosene) and also to protect its citizens from crude oil volatility in the international market.…
