ONGC’s crude oil production rose for second consecutive year in FY16

10 May 2016 Evaluate

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation’s (ONGC) crude oil production has risen for the second consecutive year in 2015-16 but natural gas output continues to decline. ONGC produced 22.37 million tonne (MT) of crude oil in the financial year ended March 31, 2016, a notch higher than 22.26 MT in the previous fiscal. In 2014-15 it had reversed a 7-year declining trend in crude oil production as it brought small and marginal fields in western offshore to production. Output of 22.263 MT of crude oil from April 2014 to March 31, 2015 was higher than 22.247 MT in the previous fiscal.

The company used to produce more than three-fourth of country’s oil needs but that share has slipped down to 60% now. It had produced 26.05 MT of crude oil in 2006-07, which dipped to 25.94 MT in the following year. ONGC’s production fell to 25.37 MT in 2008-09; 24.67 MT in 2009-10; 24.42 MT in 2010-11; 23.71 MT in 2010-11; 22.56 MT in 2012-13 and to 22.25 MT in 2013-14. Its 22.37 MT of output in 2015-16 is 60.5% of country’s 36.95 MT of production.

ONGC, which produced 22.49 bcm of gas in 2008-09, saw output peak to 23.55 bcm in 2012-13 but has since then been falling. Its current output makes up for 65.6% of the country’s production of 32.25 bcm.
