2. ORIGIN OF THE INDUSTRY
• The origin of the Indian oil & gas industry _19th century, when oil was
first struck at Digboi in Assam in 1889.
• Due to oil exploration the North-Eastern region Assam produced 5,000
barrels per day.
• In view of the significance of the oil & gas sector for overall economic
growth, the Government of India, under the Industrial Policy Resolution
of 1954, announced that petroleum would be the core sector industry.
• In pursuance of the Industrial Policy Resolution, 1954, petroleum
exploration & production activity was controlled by thegovernment-
owned National Oil Companies (NOCs), namely Oil & Natural Gas
Corporation (ONGC) and Oil India Private Ltd (OIL).
3. Oil Formation
Oil was formed from the remains of animal and
plants that live millions of years ago in a marine
environment before the dinosaurs.
Over the year ,the remains were covered by
layers of mud. Heat and pressure from these layers
helped the remains turn into what we today call
crude oil . The word “petroleum” means “rock oil” or
“oil from the earth”.

20. SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths
•India is the worlds fifth biggest energy consumer
and continues to grow rapidly
•Major natural gas discoveries by a number of
domestic companies hold significant medium to
long-term potential.
•Demand for petroleum products
•Increase in demand for oil and gas
21. Weaknesses
•The oil and gas sector is dominated by state-controlled
enterprises, although the government has taken steps in
recent years to deregulate the industry and encourage
greater foreign participation
•Increase in oil prices
•Inadequate and slowly developing infrastructure
•Lack of awareness in safety issues
•Environmental issues
22. Opportunities
•Liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports are still set
to grow rapidly over the longer term as
domestic consumption expands
•India has freed gasoline retail price controls
•Untapped domestic oil and gas potential
•Strong domestic energy demand growth
•High recovery rates from existing projects
23. Threats
• Highly flammable
•Increased competition within government and
private players
•Continuing government interference
•Changes in national energy policies
