Mr Vasudeva has been instrumental in projecting ONGC further in the integrated energy space through structured production initiatives in small & marginal fields, improving recovery factors through IOR/EOR methods, downstream value additions including commissioning of OTPC, new discoveries and fast track development; apart from sourcing equity oil from abroad, leveraging state-of-the-art technology and global best practices to tap new sources of energy and bringing in structural initiatives to tap non-conventional energy sources.
