DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF HYDROCARBONS(Under Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Govt. of India)

MESSAGE

The energy sector holds the key in sustaining and further accelerating theeconomic growth of India. To attain a cherished goal of reaching and maintaining8% growth rate from the current threshold of 6% poses a significant challenge.Bringing the availability of energy up to the global standards will require hugeadditions to the energy infrastructure in India.

India ranks fifth in the world in total energy consumption and needs toaccelerate the development of the sector to meet its growth aspirations. 75 percentof India's primary needs of crude oil and natural gas, like many other developingcountries, are met through imports. The country, having moderate hydrocarbonreserves, is rich in coal and is abundantly endowed with renewable energy in theform of solar, wind, and hydro -energy. The hydrocarbon sector plays a vital rolein the economic growth of the country. It is necessary to have a long-term policyfor the hydrocarbons sector, which would facilitate meeting the future needs ofthe country. The Hydrocarbons Vision -2025, implemented in 2000, lays downthe framework, which would guide the policies relating to this sector for the nextfew years. Issues, such as energy security, use of alternative fuels, interchangeability of technology are vital to ensure that the mix of energy sourcesused in the economy is optimal and sustainable and that adequate quantities ofeconomically priced clean and green fuels are made available to the Indianconsumers.

In order to ensure that the area under oil and gas exploration covers all thesedimentary basins of India, it is important that the entire area is offered tointerested parties for exploration. DGH has played an important role in bringingmore areas under exploration for hydrocarbons through various geoscientificsurveys and other related policies. The New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP)provides for attracting investments in this important sector of the economy andhas significantly boosted the development of E&P sector. DGH has played apivotal role in formulating & implementing NELP from 1998 onwards. Eight rounds

of bidding have taken place that have resulted in 82 commercial discoveries ofhydrocarbons out of which 11 are in the year 2009-10.

The discovery of natural gas along the western and eastern sedimentarybasins has opened a new vista in the energy scenario of the country. Productionof natural gas, which was almost negligible at the time of independence, iscurrently at the level of around 150 million standard cubic meters per day(MMSCMD).

Out of the total production of around 150 MMSCMD, after internalconsumption, extraction of LPG and unavoidable flaring, around 133 MMSCMDis available for sale to various consumers.

The outstanding major success of NELP policy is in Krishna Godavari,(KG) deepwater basin, where current natural gas production has reached 60million metric standard cubic metres per day (MMSCMD). This production fromKG deepwater basin is the highest ever natural gas production so far in Indiafrom a single gas field. The CBM production though over 0.1 MMSCSD is anadded un conventional source in the hunt for hydrocarbons. The Mangala field inRajasthan which is currently producing 1, 20,000 Bbls of oil has added a newdimension to the exploration efforts. We need more successes like this in ourcountry which is possible to achieve with adoption of new technology, use ofexpertise and adoption of best practices of the industry. A ninth round of NELP isalready on the anvil where new acreages will be offered.

Although the NELP has been an outstanding success, our intention is tomove to the Open Acreage Licensing policy (OALP) regime in near future. Underthis policy, companies can choose any block for offer at any time, without waitingfor the regular bid rounds under NELP. The blocks will be awarded to the partygiving the best bid at any time of the year. To implement this policy of GOI, DGHis taking steps to create the National Data Repository.

The national endeavour to bridge the ever-increasing gap between demandand supply of petroleum products in India by intensifying exploratory efforts foroil and gas in the Indian sedimentary basins and abroad needs to besupplemented by other alternate sources of energy such as coal bed methane,shale gas, oil shale, gas hydrate and substitution.

The report on the "Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production Activities inIndia, 2009-10" covers all these and related aspects in details and is anindispensable document for all those interested in participating in India's questfor Hydrocarbon.

MESSAGE

India is one of the very few countries where exploration for oil began more than acentury ago. For almost five decades after independence, exploration licenses wereissued on nomination basis. Due to the wave of economic reforms that alsoencompassed the petroleum sector, a number of policy decisions were taken whichresulted in positive changes and improvements in the industry.

With the introduction of the New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP), a major thrustwas given to bringing in the much-needed capital and state-of-the-art technology toexploration sector. As one of the most transparent an attractive regimes in theworld, the NELP has brought in a healthy spirit of competition between National OilCompanies and private and multinational companies. Presently more than 75 E&Pcompanies are operating in India. This has resulted in important discoveries of oiland gas in various sedimentary basins of India, in particular the logistically difficultfrontier basins in deep water areas. Substantial progress has also been made forCBM exploration and exploitation in the country. Commercial CBM production hascommenced since July, 2007.

The E&P business is highly technology driven and needs huge investments andcontinuous knowledge upgradation. All of us are aware that the days of finding easyoil and gas are over. India is endowed with about 138 billion barrels of oil and oilequivalent of gas, two third of which is yet to be discovered. These yet to be foundresources are believed to be located in the frontier, logistically difficult and geologicallycomplex fields. The need for new exploration approach and technology is, therefore,no less crucial. Globally, there has been a paradigm shift in the way E & P companies

have traditionally viewed the hydrocarbon prospects of India. The spate of discoverieshas given them enough confidence and encouragement to believe that India is afavourable destination for oil exploration.

This report on Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production Activities-India, 2009-10elucidates the achievements and highlights of the E & P sector and portrays the significantperformance of all the participating companies. It provides a valuable and comprehensivedocumentation of E & P related activities in the onland and offshore regimes of Indiansubcontinent. I compliment the efforts made by DGH in carrying out its duties andshouldering various responsibilities in fulfilling its mandate.

MESSAGE

India is the fifth largest consumer of primary energy and the third largest consumer of oil in the Asia Pacific region after China and Japan. Economic growth demands rapid development in enhancingsupply of energy resources. The demand for energy is growing by leaps and bounds and dependenceon imported petroleum is impacting our countrys growth. Of the 26 sedimentary basins identified inIndia, so far, only 20% of the total area has been well explored. The remaining areas, need to beextensively probed with the best of technologies, with special emphasis on the frontier basins.

One of our foremost priorities is to bring all sedimentary basins of India into active exploration, withinthe earliest possible time. In order to achieve this vision, DGH has been acquiring geoscientific datain the offshore and onland basins of India, taking up various studies and upgrading the knowledgefor the benefit of potential bidders. Currently 197 exploration blocks and 27 producing fields are inoperation. There have been major discoveries of oil and gas both in the offshore and onland basinsof India with 28 discoveries in 2009-10. There have been 118 oil and gas discoveries under the PSCregime of which 82 have been in NELP blocks.

Out of the total sedimentary area of 3.14 million sq. kms in our country, an area of 2.2 million sq.kmshas already been licensed. This leaves us with an area of 0.94 million sq.kms that is open for offer.Further, out of the total prognosticated resources of 205 billion barrels of oil and oil equivalent of gas,only 68 billion barrels have been established as in-place reserves. There is, thus, a vast potential of137 billion barrels yet to be discovered oil present in the sedimentary area of the country. It is my firmbelief that this can be found by accelerating the pace of exploration in the country and by offeringnew acreages expeditiously.

As far as oil and gas production is concerned, we envisage increase in the oil production from theexisting level of around 5 MMT per annum to 12 MMT by the year 2010-2011 from existing fieldsoperated by Pvt./JV companies. Gas production is also expected to increase to around 44 BCM perannum by the year 2011-12 and 54 BCM by the year 2014-15 from existing fields under Pvt./JVcompanies from the existing level of 8 BCM per annum. These estimates are based on approvedproduction profiles. However, many of the discoveries are currently under evaluation / appraisal.

Our efforts are also being directed towards monetization of all the 118 discoveries by the year 2014-15. Considering the increased pace of exploration and current exploration success rate, we expectthat there could be 189 discoveries by the year 2015-16.

It is now widely acknowledged that natural gas is a preferred option for power generation as well as forthe production of nitrogenous fertilizer. The availability of natural gas, therefore, needs to be enhanced.

The India Hydrocarbon Vision 2025 envisages a demand of about 391 MMSCMD of gas by the year2020-25. The current production of natural gas in the country is about 150 MMSCMD and is expectedto go up to about 192 MMSCMD by the year 2011-12. It is, therefore, envisaged that there would bea significant gap between demand and supply in the coming two decades.

That leaves us with very little option but to explore vigorously for unconventional sources of gas. Wehave progressed significantly in terms of exploration and production of Coal Bed Methane. In fact,commercial production has commenced from Raniganj south CBM block in July 2007. The projectedproduction of CBM is of the order of 7 MMSCMD by the year 2011-12. Substantial progress has beenmade with respect to our understanding of the availability of gas hydrate in Indian offshore areas.However, the possibility of commercial exploitation of this potentially enormous gas resource is stillmany years away.

Our commitment to the liberalization process is reflected in the New Exploration Licensing Policyformulated by the Government of India. The terms and conditions of this open and transparent policyand the level playing field for all operators rank amongst the most attractive in the world.

Till date, 8 rounds of NELP have been completed. So far 235 PSCs have been signed, out of which168 are in operation. 33 CBM blocks have been awarded during 4 rounds of bidding. Additionally thereare PELs and MLs on nomination basis to NOCs and MLs for private/ joint ventures companies underproduction sharing Contracts. The private / JV companies contribute about 46 % of gas and 16% oil tothe national Oil & Gas production. Since 1999, during the PSC regime, the Oil & Gas discoveries inthe NELP blocks are 82, out of which, 11 are in the year 2009-10. The production of 1, 20,000 Bbls ofoil from the Mangala field in Rajasthan and over 0.1 MMSCSM of gas from CBM is a significantsuccess in the current year.

The DGH has taken several initiatives to open up new areas for exploration by conducting speculativesurveys, reprocessing of old seismic data and promoting Indian exploration acreages for systematicexploration. A National Data Repository (NDR) is being established which will cater to the needs ofthe E&P sector and academicians for geoscientific data requirement. This data would be used for theOpen Acreage Licencing Policy, which is likely to be implemented by GOI in the near future.

The report on the Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production Activities in India, 2009-10 by DGH is acompilation of important information of upstream oil sector and is of immense use to all major stakeholders in the Indian exploration and production scenario.

(S.Sundareshan)

We have recently concluded the activities related to the award of NELP-VIII and CBM-IVblocks with the signing of 32 contracts in respect of NELP-VIII and 7 CBM contracts. Despite theglobal economic meltdown, the response to the offer of blocks has been quite encouraging. Aninvestment of USD 1.34 billion is envisaged in NELP-VIII as compared to USD 1.2 billion in theprevious round. For CBM exploration, an investment of about USD 158 million is envisaged.Exploration companies now have an additional area of about 53,000 sq.kms for oil and gasexploration, and 5,000 sq.kms for CBM exploration.

In keeping with the objectives of India Hydrocarbon Vision 2025, DGH has been takingnecessary steps to bring all sedimentary basins of India into active exploration within the earliestpossible time. In order to achieve this vision, DGH has been acquiring Geo-scientific data in theoffshore and on-land basins of India, taking up various studies, upgrading the knowledge for thebenefit of potential bidders and offering new acreages for exploration. There are 622 concessionsare in operation as of 01.04.2010, out of which 261 are under Petroleum Exploration Licenses(PEL) and 361 under Mining Licenses (ML). This is a tremendous improvement over the 203 PELsand 163 MLs that were in operation in the year 1995-96 prior to the implementation of the NELP.Due to persistent efforts of Government, the unexplored sedimentary area, which was in the orderof 50% in 1995-96, has now been reduced to 12%.

During the year 2009-10, accretion of in-place reserves and ultimate reserves are estimatedto be in the order of 550 MMT and 159 MMT of oil and oil equivalent of gas (O+OEG) respectively.During the year 2009-10, the total production of oil and gas in the country was 33.5 MMT and 47.5BCM respectively. Of this, the private / JV companies contribute about 33 % of the total oil and oilequivalent of gas (O+OEG) production. Under the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) regime,118 discoveries have been made so far out of which 11 oil & gas discoveries were in the year2009-10. Production of 1,20,000 Bbls of oil from the Mangala field in Rajasthan and over 0.1MMSCSD of gas from CBM are significant achievements during the current year.

DGH is taking steps to establish the National Data Repository (NDR) that will cater to theneeds of the E&P sector and academicians for geo-scientific data requirement which will be madeavailable to help national & international companies looking for opportunities in India. Although theNELP has been an outstanding success, our intention is to take a step forward by moving to theOpen Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP) regime in near future. Under this policy, companies canchoose blocks on offer at any time, without waiting for the regular bid rounds under NELP.

FROM THE DESK OF DIRECTOR GENERAL

DGH has taken several initiatives during the year to further open up new areas by acquiring3607.5 LKM of 2D speculative surveys, 10,000 LKM of reprocessing of old seismic data andpromoting Indian exploration acreages for systematic exploration. Airborne survey covering 13994.64LKM in block 3 in Kutch area has also been completed during this period.

During the current period, DGH through Earth Science Solutions has compiled and integratedthe Geological and Geophysical data of 5 Category III & IV basins namely, Himalayan Foreland,Karewa, Spiti- Zanskar, Chattisgarh and Bastar Basins, to prepare an update with special referenceto the evaluation of the hydrocarbon prospectivity of these basins. Also, DGH has completed aproject on "Petroleum System Modeling Studies of Kerala- Konkan Basin and Bengal Onland Basin"in association with Beicip-Franlab, France.

We have been vigorously pursuing alternate fossil fuel options such as CBM, Gas Hydrateand Shale Oil. Harnessing the alternate hydrocarbon resources is a key focus area. In associationwith BRGM, France and Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited (MECL), India, DGH has completeda project in Assam-Arakan Basin, to identify and estimate resources in respect of oil shale depositsand syncrude potential in NE part of India covering an area of about 250 sq. km.

DGH, on behalf of Government of India, has taken initiative to identify prospective areas forShale gas exploration in India. DGH is preparing a road map for initiating exploration of shale gasfor which suitable policy framework and fiscal terms and conditions are being formulated. Besidesthis, basic data is being generated in other areas also, Cambay and Assam-Arakan to evaluate theshale gas prospectivity of the basins.

India, with the fourth largest proven coal reserves in the world, holds significant prospects forexploration and exploitation of CBM. The total sedimentary area that holds promise for CBM isabout 26,000 sq.kms. Out of this, exploration has been initiated in about 52% of the area. In otherwords, a large area remains to be explored for CBM. Further, out of the prognosticated CBMresources of 92 TCF for the country, only about 8.92 TCF has been established as in-place reserves.The CBM production though over 0.1 MMSCSM is an added unconventional source supplementingthe natural gas demand.

DGH ensures that companies take all mitigating efforts for protection of environment andfollow a healthy HSE culture in terms of PSC guidelines. DGH coordinates with Ministry ofEnvironment & Forests, Central Pollution Control Board and other concerned authority / organizationsregarding environmental aspects of petroleum operations and on environmental issues.

DGH plays an important role in monitoring the revenues due to the Government arising fromE & P activities. During the year profit Petroleum of 5,471 crores and Royalty of 4,225 croreswere contributed to the Central Government exchequer. Essentiality Certificates for import of goodsrequired for petroleum operations were issued for items worth approximately 30,793 crores.

This report on the Hydrocarbon Exploration and Production Activities during 2009-10summarizes the entire gamut of the oil and gas exploration and production activities in India andprovides a comprehensive reference document for the industry and all those connected with theindustry. I would like to acknowledge the continuous support and encouragement received fromthe Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, which has helped us to achieve our goals and objectivesin a timely and efficient manner. I am sure that all stake holders including E&P companies, Serviceproviders and investors will find the report useful in making investment decisions and carrying outexploration activities in Indian sedimentary basins.

Contribution to Government Exchequer


DGH

The sedimentary basins of India, onland and offshore up to the 200m isobath, have an arealextent of about 1.79 million sq. km. So far, 26 basins have been recognized and they havebeen divided into four categories based on their degree of prospectivity as presently known. Inthe deep waters beyond the 200m isobath, the sedimentary area has been estimated to beabout 1.35 million sq. km. The total thus works out to 3.14 million sq. km.

Over the past twelve years, significant steps have been taken in exploring the hydrocarbonpotential of the sedimentary basins of India. The unexplored area has reduced to 12% from50% in 1995-96.

Credit for this achievement goes in large measure to surveys carried out by DGH in unexplored/poorly explored areas of the country including deepwaters off west coast, east coast and inAndaman sea and accreages awarded for exploration under NELPs. Concerted efforts arecontinously being done to reduce the unexplored area further.

AWARD OF ACREAGES - NELP India has an estimated sedimentary area of 3.14 million Sq Km. comprising 26 sedimentary basins,out of which, 1.35 million Sq Km. area is in deepwater and 1.79 million Sq Km. area is in onland andshallow offshore. At present 1.06 million Sq Km. area is held under Petroleum Exploration Licensesin 18 basins by national oil companies viz. Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC), OILIndia Limited (OIL) and Private/Joint Venture companies. Before implementing the New ExplorationLicensing Policy (NELP) in 1999, 11% of Indian sedimentary basins were under exploration, whichhas now increased significantly.

New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP):

New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP) was formulated by the Government of India, withDirectorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) as a nodal agency, during 1997-98 to provide a levelplaying field to both Public and Private sector companies in exploration and production ofhydrocarbons. Government of Indias commitment to the liberalization process is reflected in NELP,which has been conceptualized keeping in mind the immediate need for increasing domesticproduction. To attract more investment in oil exploration and production, NELP has steered steadilytowards a healthy spirit of competition between National Oil Companies and private companies.This has been a landmark event in the growth of the upstream oil sector in India. The foreign andIndian private companies are invited to supplement the efforts of National Oil Companies in thediscovery of hydrocarbons. The development of E&P sector has been significantly boosted throughthis policy of Government of India, which brought major liberalization in the sector and opened upE&P for private and foreign investment, where 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is allowed.

PEL & ML Status

As on 1.7.2010, operations are being carried out by national and private oil companies in

659 concessions, of which 292 are under Petroleum Exploration Licence (PEL) and367 under Mining Lease (ML). The distribution pattern is as follows:

PEL Company-wise : NOCs 53% and Pvt/JV 47%

Basin-wise : Onland 21% and Offshore 79%

ML Company-wise : NOCs 79% and Pvt/JV 21%

Basin-wise : Onland 48% and Offshore 52%

From the figures given above, it is evident that substantial headway has already been

made to encourage private sector participation. Against 203 PEL & 163 ML concessions

operational during 1996, there are 292 PEL & 367 ML concessions presently under

operation, showing an increase both in exploration and development efforts. Over the

years, some of the PEL areas have been converted into MLs in part or fully for production

of oil and gas due to which there has been an appreciable increase in the area of ML

concessions.
