The ONGC head office is in New Delhi.<\/p>\n<p>ONGC works across the full oil and gas value chain. It is fully integrated, from exploration to production. The company explores and produces hydrocarbons in 26 Indian sedimentary basins. It owns and manages over 11,000 km of oil and gas pipelines.<\/p>\n<p>ONGC runs around 230 drilling and workover rigs across India. Its global arm, ONGC Videsh, carries out oil and gas projects in 15 countries. This gives ONGC a strong global presence.

The Assam Oil Company worked in the NE. Attock Oil Company operated in the northwest. Exploration was very limited. Most Indian basins were believed to hold no oil.<\/p>\n<p>After 1947, India needed oil for development and defence. In 1948, the Industrial Policy recognized petroleum as a key sector. Still, until 1955, only private companies searched for oil.<\/p>\n<p>In Assam, Digboi was already producing oil. Oil India Ltd, a joint venture with Burmah Oil, developed Naharkatiya and Moraan fields. In 1955, the Government stepped in. It set up the Oil &amp; Natural Gas Directorate under the Ministry of Natural Resources. A small team from the Geological Survey of India led the work.<\/p>\n<p>In April 1956, the Govt. placed mineral oil under Schedule A. Only the state could develop this sector. Soon, the directorate needed more power. In August 1956, it became the Oil &amp; Natural Gas Commission. In 1959, it was made a statutory body through an act of Parliament. ONGC was now empowered to plan and manage petroleum development in India.<\/p>\n<p>ONGC rapidly expanded India\u2019s oil sector. It explored new areas across the country. In Assam, it discovered new reserves. In Gujarat, it found the Cambay basin. It also explored the Assam-Arakan Fold Belt and India\u2019s eastern coast.<\/p>\n<p>In 1963, it found oil in Sivasagar, Assam. New oilfields were set up in Lakua, Gelekey, and Rudrasagar. In the 1970s, ONGC expanded offshore and discovered the massive Mumbai High field in the Arabian Sea. Later, India found over 5 billion tonnes of hydrocarbons.<\/p>\n<p>In February 1994, ONGC was listed on the stock exchange. 20% of its equity was sold to the public. The Government retained 80%. At that time, ONGC had 48,000 employees. It had \u20b9104.34 billion in reserves and \u20b9107.77 billion in net worth. Even in the 1950s, ONGC thought globally. Chairman K.D. Malaviya wanted India to invest abroad. ONGC applied for oil blocks in Iran. Iran gave ONGC four blocks.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003, ONGC Videsh bought a 25% stake in Sudan\u2019s Greater Nile Oil Project. In 2006, India issued a coin to mark ONGC\u2019s 50th anniversary. It was the second Indian company to get such an honour after SBI. In 2011, ONGC planned a gas processing facility in Dahanu. In 2012, it drilled deepwater wells off Cuba with Repsol (Spain) and Statoil (Norway).<\/p>\n<p>Also in 2012, ONGC found a major oil reserve in the D1 field. This increased output potential from 12,500 to 60,000 barrels per day. In January 2014, ONGC Videsh and Oil India Limited jointly acquired a 10% stake in a gas field in Mozambique.. The deal was worth $2.47 billion.<\/p>\n<p>In July 2017, the Government allowed ONGC to buy Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. ONGC faced production challenges in recent years. In 2018, oil production was 20.8 million tonnes. By 2022\u201323, it dropped to 16.88 million tonnes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Do Check \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/full-form\/ibm-full-form\/\">IBM Full Form<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ONGC_Vision\"><\/span>ONGC Vision<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>ONGC aims to lead the global energy sector.

It has gas trapped inside. The gas is in small water cages. It is found deep under the sea. It can be a big energy source, but it&#8217;s hard to extract. No country has done it yet.<\/p>\n<p>ONGC is working in India. It joined the National Gas Hydrate Programme. India wants to use gas hydrates. ONGC is helping with research. A new research center was built. It opened on 14 September 2016. It is in Panvel. The center is called GHRTC.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ONGCs_Big_Discovery\"><\/span>ONGC\u2019s Big Discovery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>ONGC found gas hydrates. They are in the deep sea. They lie off the Andhra Pradesh coast. The area is the Krishna-Godavari basin. It has large gas reserves. ONGC found new reserves there. They are huge. The gas is about 134 trillion cubic feet. That\u2019s one-third of the U.S. reserves. The U.S. is the top gas producer today.<\/p>\n<p>India imports nearly 80% of the gas it uses. This heavy dependence increases costs and affects energy security. ONGC\u2019s gas hydrate discovery could change that. If ONGC succeeds in extracting this gas, it can reduce imports. It can become self-reliant. It may not need to import gas.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ONGCs_Major_Acquisitions\"><\/span>ONGC\u2019s Major Acquisitions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>ONGC has made major global acquisitions to boost oil &amp; gas reserves.

There are safety risks too. Weather and pressure make work harder.<\/p>\n<p>Technology Gap India lacks some modern tools. ONGC often needs to import equipment. It depends on foreign help. This slows down work. It also increases project costs. ONGC is trying to change this. It invests in research and development.<\/p>\n<p>ONGC must protect the environment. Drilling can harm marine life. Oil spills are a big threat. The company follows safety rules. It uses new methods to reduce risks. ONGC also wants to cut emissions.
