During the inaugural session of the first edition of Urja Varta, Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri emphasized that the Exploration and Production (E&P) sector could present investment opportunities amounting to 100 billion USD by 2030. Addressing the audience, he underscored the sector’s crucial role in achieving energy self-sufficiency and driving sustainable economic growth. Minister Puri also highlighted India’s 26 sedimentary basins, which hold significant reserves of crude oil and natural gas yet to be fully exploited.
Despite our substantial progress, the Minister said, “Only 10% of our sedimentary basin area is under exploration today. After the award of blocks under the forthcoming Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP) Rounds, it will increase to 16% by end-2024.”

Highlighting the need to streamline operational and regulatory processes, Hardeep Singh Puri stressed that “The government is doing its part to catalyse investments in E&P. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) has instituted sweeping reforms, empowering stakeholders to contribute to our nation’s progress”, he added. He said that we intend to increase India’s exploration acreage to 1 million sq. km. by 2030.

“No-Go” areas in India’s EEZ have been reduced by almost 99%”, Minister Puri added further.

The Minister talked about the accelerated pace of exploration activities through initiatives like the OALP and the Discovered Small Field (DSF) Policy. “Through the first 8 OALP bid rounds, a total of 144 blocks covering approximately 244,007 sq. km. have been awarded and recently announced OALP IX round offers an area of approximately 136,596 sq. km. spread over 8 sedimentary basins, with the vision of expanding nation’s footprint in offshore exploration”, he noted. He said, the Discovered Small Field (DSF) Policy, since its inception in 2015, has garnered investments of approximately 2 billion USD and brought in 29 new players in the field.

Highlighting the focus of The Government on promoting scientific data-driven exploration, Minister Puri said that an investment of Rs. 7,500 crores is going into the acquisition of new seismic data, including that of the EEZ, financing stratigraphic wells, and acquiring aerial survey data for difficult terrains. “We now have geo-scientific data for the Kerala–Konkan basin and the Mumbai offshore basin on the West coast, and the Mahanadi and the Andaman basins on the East coast”, he said. He also referred to the upgradation of the National Data repository to a cloud-based NDR by DGH. It will enable instant dissemination of seismic, well and production data, he said.

Talking about the efforts of The Government to ensure Ease of Doing Business in E&P sector, he noted, “We have consolidated and simplified 37 approval processes into 18, with 9 processes now eligible for self-certification. However, we recognize the need to push these reforms further.””We must explore the feasibility of expanding self-certification across additional processes,” Minister continued. He said, “Reducing delays in the approval of field development plans, annual plans, and other regulatory permissions is crucial, especially as our nation’s import dependency continues to rise.”

The Minister announced the formation of a Joint Working Group (JWG) comprising representatives from private E&P operators, the National Oil Companies, MoPNG, and DGH to address industry concerns and improve the ease of doing business in the sector. Further, he directed the DGH to complete the process of integration of its various online portals by the end of the year.

Minister Puri expressed confidence that Urja Varta 2024 would catalyze collaboration and innovation in the energy sector. He invited stakeholders from industry, academia, and government to leverage the platform to contribute towards India’s energy security goals.
