11. ONGC Videsh Ltd

During FY'15, there is an increase in oil and gas production by 6.19% (Oil 0.86% and Gas 16.37%) as compared to previous fiscal year FY'14. The incremental production is primarily due to better management and addition in the portfolio from BC-10 ( Brazil), Sakhalin-I (Russia) and block A-1/A-3 in Myanmar.

Despite higher production during FY'15, the decrease in profit is mainly due to lower oil prices, higher financing cost including exchange loss, higher depletion charge, and impairment provision in one of the assets.

ONGC Videsh is currently producing about 182 thousand barrels of oil and oil equivalent gas per day and has total oil and gas reserves (2P) of about 612 MMtoe as on 31st March 2015.

ONGC Videsh has participation in 36 projects in 17 countries including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Iraq, Syria, Libya, South Sudan, Sudan, Mozambique, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Vietnam and New Zealand. Out of these 36 projects, 13 are producing, 4 are discovered/under development, 17 are exploratory and remaining 2 are pipeline projects.
