Iran war pushes ONGC to plan strategic gas reserve

Iran war pushes ONGC to plan strategic gas reserve

Published by Parlour News

State-run Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd, or ONGC, is planning to create India’s first strategic natural gas reserve near its gas-producing assets in western India, according to two people close to the matter. People pass by in front of the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) office in New Delhi (REUTERS/Fle) The development comes after the Indian government’s plan to store natural gas in underground salt caverns failed to take off because of high capital expenditure and technical complexities. A strategic natural gas reserve can cushion the impact of crises such as the West Asia war, which has disrupted global energy supplies, exposing India’s vulnerability as the country imports about 55% of its natural gas requirements, valued at around $15 billion annually. The plan also follows the company’s recent announcement to build a 1.75 million-tonne (mt) strategic crude oil storage facility. New Delhi has strategic petroleum reserves of 5.2 mt. “The plan is to initially come up with a pilot. The consideration right now is to do a feasibility survey and develop a …
