Indian Oil and Gas Industry
Scope eKnowledge Center Pvt Ltd, Jan 2002, Pages: 38
Oil and gas industry is the most important sector in any economy since it caters to a wide range of industries including petrochemicals, fertilizers, automobiles etc., Thanks to its importance and limited availability, it is one of the highly regulated sectors in India. This report gives a comprehensive picture of the oil and gas industry.
Government policies in India have changed considerably in the post-liberalization era, with private and foreign players getting the nod to indulge in oil exploration and production through schemes like New Exploration and Licensing Policy (Nelp) I, II and III. Hence, there is a good scope for domestic private players and foreign players to enter this sector.
As a background, the report provides a brief overview about the oil and gas industry, with focus on characteristics specific to the industry, segmentation, split up of private and public sector in the industry etc. The segmentation details (the basic grouping in the industry such as light, medium and heavy distillates) and the products covered under each segment have been suitably elaborated. The typical characteristics of the industry (like heavy government controls, import dependency on feedstock that result in burgeoning oil pool deficit) have been discussed.
The report provides an overview on the global scenario covering aspects like reserves in crude and natural gas, production and the consumption of the same, contribution of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec), effect of UN sanctions particularly on Iraq (Iraq is the third largest player in West Asia) over capacity situation in Asian region etc.,
The current scenario prevailing in the domestic industry has been comprehensively covered with specific emphasis on government regulations, demand supply aspects, pricing in the industry etc., On the demand-supply front, the report features extensive coverage on the extent of crude oil and natural gas reserves, production/consumption of crude oil and natural gas and crude refining capacity/ capacity utilization. The report also elaborates on the major projects that have been implemented recently and projects that are currently under implementation. Since the industry is highly regulated, the report discusses elaborately on crucial government policies.
The price trends in crude oil and natural gas in global markets is covered separately in the report since more than two thirds of domestic requirements are met through imports. Finally the performance of the following players during the FY01 is also given:
Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited
