  • A Study on Rural Markrting of Hpcl 2014
    A STUDY ON RURAL MARKRTING OF HPCL 2014 PART – A History of the oil industry in India The history of the Indian oil industry extends back to the period of the British Raj, at a time when petroleum first became a primary global energy source. The origin of the Indian oil & gas industry can be traced back to the late 19th century, when oil was first struck at Digboi in Assam in 1889. At independence, oil exploration and production activities were largely confined to the North- Eastern region, particularly Assam and the daily crude oil production averaged just 5,000 barrels per day. In the downstream sector, the first refinery was set up at Digboi in 1901. In view of the significance of the oil & gas sector for overall economic growth, the Government of India, under the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1954, announced that petroleum would be the core sector industry. In pursuance of the Industrial Policy Resolution, 1954, petroleum exploration & production activity was controlled by the government-owned National Oil Companies (NOCs), namely Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Oil India Private Ltd (OIL). With the discovery of the Cambay onshore basin (in 1958) and the Bombay offshore basin (in 1974), the domestic oil production increased considerably. As a result, in the early 70s, almost 70% of the country‟s oil requirement was met domestically. However, by the end of the 1980s, some of the existing oil & gas fields were experiencing a decline in their production since they had already been in production for several years and were past their 3 plateau phase.
