**ANSWER**

**पेट्रोलियम और प्राकृतिक गैस मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री (प्रभार स्वतन्त्र) (प्रधान धर्मेन्द्र श्री)**

**MINISTER OF STATE (I/C) IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM & NATURAL GAS**

**(SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)**

a) Details of surveys for exploration of blocks  awarded to the operators including PSUs (ONGC & OIL), Indian Private& JV companies and  Foreign companies as on 31.03.2015 are at **Annexure-I**

The status of commercial production and quantum of crude oil and gas produced by various private/public sector companies under PSC regime during 2014-15  is placed at **Annexure-II**

(b) Details of blocks awarded and investment made by companies under NELP are at **Annexure-III** :

Out of 26 sedimentary basins of India, 7 basins namely Karewa, Spiti-Zanskar, Narmada, Bhima-Kaladgi, Cuddapah, Bastar, Chhattisgarh remain still under explored due to perceived low prospectivity.

(c) Details are at **Annexure-IV** .

(d) The details of crude oil and natural gas production during last three years are as under:-

|         |   Crude Oil Production  (MMT) |   Natural Gas Production  (BCM) |
|---------|-------------------------------|---------------------------------|
| 2012-13 |                        37.862 |                          40.679 |

MMT- Million Metric Tonne

BCM- Billion Cubic Metre

The main reason for lower crude oil and natural gas production is due to natural decline in production of aging fields of ONGC and OIL. In addition lower natural gas production was made from Krishna Godavari Basin under Production Sharing Regime.

In order to increase production of crude oil and gas, the Government has adopted following multi-pronged approach:

1. Enhance production from the existing field by adopting Improved Oil Recovery (IOR)/Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) measures using lasts technology.
2. Bringing into production new discoveries at the earliest. For this a policy framework for early monetization of hydrocarbon discoveries under PSC regime has been approved by the Government. This policy has addressed rigidities in the timelines of the PSC and has allowed the contracts to start production at the earliest.
3. Facilitate enhanced exploration activities through following measures-

- Appraisal of about 1.5 million sq km un-appraised area of the Indian Sedimentary Basins and acquisition of geoscientific data under Multi client and non-exclusive policy.
- Re-assessment of Hydrocarbon Resources
- Setting up of National Data Repository.
- Policy approved for exploration and exploitation of Shale Gas/Shale Oil resources by National Oil Companies under the nomination regime.

4. Provision of premium on gas price on the gas produced from difficult areas i.e. deep, ultra-deep and HPHT fields.

(e) The fiscal and other incentives provided for exploration and extraction of oil and gas deposits to E&P companies under  New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP) are as under:

1. Nil Cess on production from blocks offered under NELP Bidding Rounds
2. Nil Customs duty on goods imported for petroleum operations.
3. Exemptions under section 42 of Income Tax Act, 1961
4. A seven-year tax exemption under section 80-IB (ix) of income tax act 1961 for blocks  awarded up-to  NELP-VII  Bidding Rounds

(f) The development plans which include annual work programmes, budget outlays for the year etc. are approved by the Management Committee which has representatives of Government as well as Contractors. Steps were taken for approval of the work plan and budget outlays before start of the financial year so that contractors are able to make investments right from the beginning of the financial year.
