Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) and Reliance Industries Limited (Reliance) signed a major agreement to share resources for deepwater offshore exploration and production along India's East Coast, particularly in the Krishna Godavari basin and Andaman offshore areas. The deal aims to reduce costs, speed up project execution, and make better use of assets in complex deepwater projects.
The agreement follows the Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Amendment Act, 2025, which allows E&P companies to share infrastructure and facilities onshore and offshore, helping to develop oilfields and produce hydrocarbons more efficiently.
Under the deal, ONGC and Reliance will share key resources such as processing facilities, drilling rigs, marine vessels, pipelines, power, and well services.
The partnership is expected to provide benefits including lower costs by sharing expensive equipment, better use of resources by reducing duplication and idle capacity, faster project execution with improved access to limited deepwater services and enhanced operational safety through shared emergency response and training.
The agreement aligns with the Indian government's focus on energy security through domestic exploration, efficient infrastructure use, and industry collaboration.
