Urja Sangam 2015 , shall surely be able to provide the platform and environment for the future of energy gambit. Honourable PM Shri.Modi ji in his inaugural speech stated that we should be able to reduce our import of crude in 2022 by 10 % , which works out to nearly 24 MMT . This is to state that the Indian platers have a big challenge in hand. With a 4% increase in demand every year we expect a demand of 238MMT .The challenge to the indian PSU and specifically for ONGC is daunting. India has to produce 79 MMT and ONGC share comes to 52.5MMT.This challenge is acceptable and possible. Redevelopment plans for brown fields , technology application in specific fields, Revamping of some infrastructure , Development of new fields , Equity oil and above all working to a plan well shaped with technology input from global partner, indian collaborators and above all the village level society partner. Making the ground level man a party to the Work /Strategy is most important wherein the concept ” All round development” is made possible.
I as an “Energy Warrior” a term I give to all the new as well as the old oil industry player wish a great start to the new and pious work we have entered in to.
