Oil Jackpot In Andaman? Hardeep Puri Hints At India's 'Guyana Moment' In Indian Ocean
India is ramping up domestic fossil fuel output with a major focus on deep-sea exploration in the Andaman region. Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri highlighted that 1 million sq km of previously restricted sedimentary basin has now been opened for exploration. India has explored only 8% of its 3.5 million sq km sedimentary area so far. Offshore drilling costs remain high, but discoveries in wells like Suryamani and Neelmani show promise. Puri compared India's prospects to Guyana's major find after 46 failed attempts, stating the Andaman could deliver 'several Guyanas' as ONGC drills deeper than ever before.#indiaenergy #andaman #hardeepsinghpuri #guyana #energysecurity #deepseadrilling #ongc #oilindia #fossilfuels #indiagrowth #investment #naturalresources #suryamani #neelmani #fossilfuel #toi #toibharat

Israel-Iran conflict: ‘Diversified import basket, comfortably placed for fuel supply needs', says minister Hardeep Puri
India's Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, has assured that the country is comfortably placed in terms of fuel supply amid growing tensions in the Middle-East. On June 16, the union minister reviewed India's petroleum supply situation with top ministry officials and executives from state-run oil companies amid volatile oil markets due to the Israel-Iran conflict. In a post on social medai platform X (formerly Twitter), Puri wrote: 'As oil is on the boil, all eyes are on the ball… In the increasingly volatile geopolitical situation, reviewed the petroleum products supply situation with petroleum ministry officials and our PSU OMCs.' 'Under the visionary leadership of PM Modi, we have diversified our import basket substantially and are comfortably placed to meet our fuel supply needs,' he added. Puri's meeting included Petroleum ministry officials and representatives from major public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs) such as Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL), and Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL). Notably, India is looking to ramp up its own traditional fossil-based energy production, with the latest push being to dig deep in the Andaman region. Speaking to ANI, the minister outlined several government measures for exploration and production, adding that the project in the Andamans is pointing to 'good news' and may end up becoming India's 'Guyana moment'. 'India has 3.5 million square kilometres of sedimentary basin, but it never explored beyond eight per cent area, keeping a large expanse of sea beds untapped and unexplored. One of the decisions which we took was that 1 million square kilometres of that sedimentary basin, which was no-go area, has suddenly been made available for E&P,' Puri added. So far in the nine round of open acreage licensing policy, 38 per cent of the bids came in that 1 million square kilometres and the Minister expects that in the next round — for which work is going on right now — will attract more than 75 per cent of the bids. 'We've also issued some of the largest bids on offer anywhere — something like 2.5 lakh square kilometres of area has been offered out on bidding,' he said. According to Puri, India has the potention of around 42 billion tonnes of oil and gas equivalent in its sedimentary basins, but exploring offshore reserves are capital extensive, which is why it took so much time for India to tap the untapped potential under its seas. 'An onshore well costs $4 million on average and an offshore well costs about $100 million,' he supplemented India has major trade exposure with both Israel and Iran. In FY25, India exported goods worth $1.24 billion to Iran, and imported goods worth $441.9 million. Trade with Israel is even larger, with $2.15 billion in exports and $1.61 billion in imports.

India has several Guyana-sized oil reserves in Andamans, says Hardeep Puri
Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Puri said India holds the potential of 'several Guyanas' in the Andaman region and outlined several measures taken by the government for exploration and production. The minister said that the country has 3.5 million square kilometers of sedimentary basin, but it never explored beyond eight per cent area, keeping a large expanse of sea beds unexplored. The minister's statement comes as India is putting in efforts to ramp up its own traditional fossil-based energy production.

So one of the decisions which we took was that 1 million square kilometers of that sedimentary basin, which was no-go area, has suddenly been made available for E&P," Puri told ANI on Monday. The petroleum minister said that the government has decided to explore a large part of the basin. He said that India imported 80 per cent of oil and 50 per cent of natural gas, adding that even a 5-billion-barrel discovery would be a game-changer. In the nine rounds of open acreage licensing policy, 38 per cent of the bids have come, covering 1 million square kilometers, the minister said, adding that the next round will attract more than 75 per cent of the bids. "We've also issued some of the largest bids on offer anywhere -- something like 2.5 lakh square kilometers of area has been offered out on bidding," the minister said.

He, however, added that exploring offshore reserves are capital extensive, which is why it took so much time for the country to tap into the untapped potential under the seas. "An onshore well costs something like USD 4 million on an average. I'm talking about global rates and dollar rates being held at a particular constant. And an offshore well costs about USD 100 million," he added. Hardeep Puri also made a reference to Guyana, which recently discovered massive oil reserves, saying India has the potential for 'several Guyanas' in the Andaman region. "They (Guyana) dug 46 wells and they didn't find any oil. It's when they dug the 47th one, they found oil. And then it became the largest find," he said. "We have the potential of several Guyanas in the Andaman," he added. Highlighting some of the recent oil discoveries, the minister said that Suryamani has a potential of 4 million metric tons worth of oil, while it is 1.2 million metric tons in Neelmani. In another well, at a depth of 2,865 metres, both oil and gas reserves were found, the minister said, stressing that this is an "underestimation."
