COMPANY PROFILE
During the pre-independence period, the Assam OilCompany in
the northeastern and attock Oil company innorthwestern part of the undivided India were the only oilcompanies producing oil in the country, with minimal explorationinput. After independence, the national Government realized theimportance oil and gas for rapid industrial development and itsstrategic role in defense. Consequently, while framing the IndustrialPolicy Statement of 1948, the development of petroleum industry inthe country was considered to be of utmost necessity. Until 1955, private oil companies mainly carried outexploration of hydrocarbon resources of India. In Assam, the AssamOil Company was producing oil at Digboi (discovered in 1889) andthe Oil India Ltd. (a 50% joint venture between Government of Indiaand Burmah Oil Company) was engaged in developing two newlydiscovered large fields Naharkatiya and Moran in Assam. In WestBengal, the Indo-Stanvac Petroleum project (a joint venture betweenGovernment of India and Standard Vacuum Oil Company of USA)was engaged in exploration work. The vast sedimentary tract inother parts of India and adjoining offshore remained largelyunexplored.In 1955, Government of India decided to develop the oil and natural gas resources in the various regions of the country as part of the Public Sector development. With this objective, an Oil and Natural Gas Directorate wasset up towards the end of 1955, as a subordinate office under thethen Ministry of Natural Resources and Scientific Research.
