The share of ONGC's crude oil production  has increased from 62.5% in  to 66.3% and natural gas  from 71.9% to 79.5%.

(c)and(d):   Redevelopment of existing matured fields and development of new fields are the  are  key  components  of  the  strategy  to  increase  the  production  of  crude  oil  and natural gas by ONGC.  Small/marginal fields, which were not viable on standalone basis are being developed through cluster development concept. To increase the production by  public  sector  oil  companies  various  steps  like  fiscal  incentives  on  new  discoveries, incentives  for  enhanced  recovery  of  oil/gas,  allowing  exploration  and  exploitation  of unconventional  hydrocarbons  in  nomination  fields,  production  enhancement  contracts with private players for small fields have been taken.
