Report summary
India’s government is prioritizing domestic oil and gas to meet burgeoning energy demand with affordable, accessible and secure sources of supply. Changes to terms were introduced for the Open Acreage Licensing Policy round 8 (OALP-VIII) and additional improvements have been made for OALP-IX to attract explorers. ONGC once again dominated OALP-VIII. OALP-IX is being touted as a “mega-round”: large swathes of offshore acreage that were previously off-limits are now on offer. Key changes to contract terms were made to attract explorers. New, raw seismic data are available. Are the new frontier areas attractive enough? We review the geology and provide our assessment of risks of three key basins.
