1. INTRODUCTION
GLOBAL OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY IN 2005
The global oil and gas industry has been experiencing high prices for crude oil and petroleum. Strong growth in global demand, economic resilience to higher energy costs, hurricane related supply disruptions in the United States and a three decade low global oil spare capacity pushed up the oil prices. Besides, concerns over the stability of supplies from the Middle East due to geo-political uncertainties as well as speculative purchase by hedge funds further caused ripples in the global oil market, impacting a great deal of volatility to oil prices. World natural gas consumption grew by 2.3% during 2005. The enhanced production in Russia and Norway contributed to an overall growth of 2.5%. Increase in production was also witnessed in china during the year. International trade in gas also showed a robust increase by 6.4%. The Asian LNG consumption was also on rise.
INDIAN OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
The Indian Oil and Gas industry consists of the following three sectors:
UPSTREAM (Exploration & Production): It has companies like Oil & Natural Gas Corporation Ltd., ONGC Videsh Ltd., Oil India Ltd., Reliance, Cairn Energy, HOEC, Premier Oil etc.
DOWNSTREAM (Refining, Marketing & Pipelines): Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IBP Ltd. (Pure Marketing), Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd.(Pure Refining), Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd.), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd., Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd., Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (Kochi Refinery Ltd. (Pure Refining), Numaligarh Refinery Ltd. (Pure Refining)), Reliance Industries Ltd./ Essar Oil Ltd./ Shell.
(Gas Transport & Distribution): GAIL (India) Ltd.
Faster growth, industrialization, rising incomes and accompanying urbanization have started exerting pressures on the already tight global energy market. As the seventh largest importer of crude oil in the world, India is one of the more energy intensive economies, importing over 70% of its crude oil needs. However it continues to have net export surplus of refined petroleum products.
With international prices rising, the government raised the prices of petrol and diesel during June 2005 and September 2005, and also in June 2006. But the prices of LPG and kerosene oil have remained the same.
