  • India: Depths of Opportunity Robert L
    OOFFSHOREFFSHORE FFA TransoceanRORO Inc. PublicationNTIERSNTIERSMay 2003 India: Depths of Opportunity Robert L. Long President and CEO Welcome India is one of the most fascinating countries I have ever visited. The complexity and richness of the culture, the tremendous natural resources and the vast pool of talented and highly educated people give India unlimited potential. Transocean is fortunate to be playing a role in the development of India’s energy infrastructure. Thanks to the outstanding efforts from India District Manager Deepak Munganahalli and his team, we expanded our activity from one to six rigs during the 18 months through April. In the process, we have made a very significant gas discovery — the Dhirubhai find in the Krishna-Godavari basin — for Reliance Industries, which is emerging as a major, new E&P player. Also, it should be noted that the Discoverer 534 set a water depth record in India drilling in 5,773 feet of water before leaving for Malaysia in April. We are excited about the future prospects in India. Under the dynamic leadership of Chairman Subir Raha, the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd of India (ONGC) is significantly increasing drilling activity and, of particular interest to Transocean, is making a concerted effort to explore India’s deepwater potential. As we go to press with this issue of Offshore Frontiers, we are preparing to respond to two ONGC tenders for five additional jackups and at least two, and possibly four, additional deepwater rigs. In addition, Reliance will be contracting a deepwater rig to develop the Dhirubhai discovery. If all this activity proceeds, India could become a very significant deepwater drilling province and a key player in Transocean’s future growth strategy.
