ONGC An Integrated Energy Provider

ONGC looks forward to become an integrated energy provider, with:

• New Discoveries and fast track development
• Equity Oil from Abroad
• Downstream Value Additions & Forward Integration
• Leveraging state-of-the art technology and global best practices
• New Sources of Energy
• Production from small and marginal fields
• ONGC has taken structured initiatives to tap unconventional energy sources, be it unconventional gases like Coal Bed Methane (CBM), Underground Coal Gasification (UCG), Shale Gas and Gas Hydrates, or unconventional energy sources like wind, solar etc. ONGC created a landmark for exploration of unconventional hydrocarbons when it succeeded in striking shale gas from its first R&D well RNSG-1 at Icchapur, near Durgapur, West Bengal in January’11. Earlier, CBM production from Pilot Project at Parbatpur, Jharkhand had already started in January’10, while Pilot UCG project has been launched in Vastan, Gujarat.
• “ONGC Energy Centre Trust”, a dedicated centre created by ONGC for holistic research in non-conventional energy sources, has taken up three projects viz., Thermo-chemical reactor for Hydrogen, Geo-bio Reactors and Fuel Cells. ONGC has already commissioned a 50 MW Wind Farm in Gujarat and plan is afoot to set up another 100 MW Wind Farm in Rajasthan. ONGC has also set up 3 Solar Thermal Engines at Solar Energy Centre, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) campus at Gurgaon.
