## MINISTER OF PETROLEUM& NATURAL GAS (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

- (a) Government has approved the policy framework for streamlining the  working of Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) for increased domestic production of hydrocarbon resources. The policy framework includes (i) Sharing of Royalty and Cess in proportion

to  Participating  Interest  of  the  Contractors  in  Pre-NELP  Exploration  Blocks  and  to  be cost recoverable; (ii) Additional 2 years for Exploration activities and additional 1 year for appraisal  activities  has  been  granted  for  operational  blocks  in  North  Eastern  Region (NER) besides marketing including pricing freedom for natural gas produced in NER;  (iii) Allowing extension of notice period from 7 days to 15 days in events of force majeure in operational  blocks  of  Pre-NELP  and  NELP  contracts,  and  (iv)  Extending  Tax  benefits under  section  42  of  Income  Tax  Act,  1961  to  Pre-NELP  discovered  fields  during extended period under the Policy for Pre-NELP PSC Extension dated 28.03.2016.

(b) & (c) : To increase domestic production of oil and gas, the Discovered Small Field (DSF) Policy was notified in September, 2015 for monetization of 69 discovered small fields  of  ONGC  and  OIL,  which  had  not  been  put  into  production.    Under  DSF  Bid Round-1,  30  contract  areas  (43  fields  )  were  awarded  for  development  through International Competitive Bidding (ICB).  The Government has also identified 60 fields for award through ICB under DSF Bid Round-II. Government has also decided to extend the Discovered Small Field Policy for future round of bidding.    The blocks auctioned under  DSF  policy  have  not  commenced  commercial  production,  thus  no  revenue  has been earned so far.

(d) & (e): New Exploration and Licensing Policy (NELP) was introduced in 1997 to provide  a  level  playing  fields  to  foreign,  private  and  public  sector  companies  and  to attract  investments  and  technologies  in  Exploration  &  Production  (E  &  P)  sector.  The salient  features  of  NELP  are  viz;  (i)  No  mandatory  state  participation  or  any  carried interest  by  National  Oil  Companies  (NOCs);  (ii)  Sharing  of  profit  petroleum  with Government of India based on biddable pre-tax investment multiple (PTIM) achieved by the  contractor;  (iii)  Royalty  at  the  rate  of  12.5%  for  the  onland  areas  and  10%  for offshore areas; (iv) Exemption from Cess.  Under NELP, blocks were awarded through a transparent  International  Competitive  Bidding  process.    The  block-  wise  details  are annexed.

(f) ONGC has approved business model  to  invite  service  providers  for  Production Enhancement Contract (PEC) to raise output from its mature oil fields.  Notice Inviting Tender have been floated by ONGC in respect of 2 onshore fields for PEC.
