19 Nov 2011 Evaluate

Reliance Industries (RIL) and BP have incorporated a 50:50 Joint Venture Company named - India Gas Solutions which will focus on global sourcing and marketing of natural gas in India. The joint venture company will also develop infrastructure to accelerate transportation and marketing of natural gas within the country. India Gas Solutions will be funded with equal equity from BP and RIL.

India Gas Solutions' board comprises six members with equal representation from BP and RIL. The company will commence operations with 30 employees seconded from BP and RIL, with deep experience in the gas business, both in India and internationally. This joint venture will assume the administration of the existing gas contracts to KGD6 customers, and will also pursue other opportunities including LNG import.

The incorporation of the joint venture company is a significant step in the relationship of RIL and BP and further establishes the commitment of both the parties to the Indian market. The demand for gas has been growing at an exponential rate and RIL anticipates natural gas to emerge as the preferred choice of fuel given its properties as a cleaner and sustainable fuel source.

In February 2011, Reliance Industries and BP announced a historic partnership between the two companies. The partnership across the full value chain comprises BP taking a 30 percent stake in 23 oil and gas production sharing contracts that Reliance operates in India, including the producing KG D6 block, and the formation of a 50:50 joint venture between the two companies for the sourcing and marketing of gas in India.
