INTRODUCTION:

1947-1960During the pre-independence period, the Assam oil company in the northeastern and At tock oil company in the north western part of the undivided India were the only oil companies producing oil in the country, with minimal exploration input. The major part of the Indian sedimentary basins was deemed to be unit for the development of oil and gas resources.

After independence, the national government realized the importance of oil and gas for rapid industrial development and its strategic role in defense. Consequently, while framing the industrial policy statement of 1948, the development of petroleum industry in the country was considered to be utmost necessity.

In 1955, the government of India decided to develop the oil and natural gas resources in the various regions of the country as part of the public sector development. With this objective, an oil and natural gas Directorate was set up towards the end of 1955, as a subordinate office under Ministry of Natural Resources and Scientific Research.

Soon, after the formation of Oil and Natural Gas Directorate, it become apparent that it would not be possible for the Directorate with its limited financial and administrative powers as subordinate office of the government , to function efficiently . So in August 1956, the Directorate was raised to the status of a commission with enhanced powers. The main function of the Oil and Natural Gas Commission subject to the provisions of the Act were “to plan, promote, organize and implement programmer for development of petroleum products produced by it, and to perform such other functions as the Central Government may, from time to time, assign to it”.

The act further outlined the activities and steps to be taken ONGC in fulfilling its mandate.

1961-1990

Page 11: Summer Internship Project Finalized 1

Since its inception, ONGC has been instrumental in transforming the country’s limited upstream sector into a large viable playing field, with its activities spread throughout India and significantly in overseas territories. In the island areas ONGC not only found new resources in Assam but also established new oil province in Cam bay basin (Gujarat), while adding new petroliferous areas in the Assam-Arakan Fold Belt and East coast basins (both inland and offshore).

ONGC went offshore in early 70’s and discovered a giant oil field in the form of Bombay High, not known as Mumbai High. This discovery, along with subsequent discoveries of huge oil and gas fields in Western Offshore changed the oil scenario of the country.

Subsequently, over 5 billion tones of hydrocarbons, which were present in the country, were discovered. The most important contribution of ONGC , however , is its self –reliance and development of core competence in E&P activities at a global competitive level.

Page 12: Summer Internship Project Finalized 1

After 1990The liberalized economic policy, adopted by the Government of India in july 1991 , sought to deregulate and de-license the core sectors(including petroleum sector) with partial disinvestments of government equity in public sector Undertakings and other measures. As a consequence thereof, ONGC was re-organized as a limited company under the Company’s Act, 1956 in February 1994.

After the conversion of business of the erstwhile Oil and Natural Gas Commission to that of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited in 1993, The government disinvested 2 percent of its share through competitive bidding. Subsequently, ONGC expanded its equity by another 2 percent by offering shares to its employees.

During march 1999, ONGC, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) – a downstream Giant and Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) – the only gas marketing company, agreed to have cross holding in each other stock. This paved the way for long-term strategic alliances both for the domestic and overseas business opportunities in the energy value chain, amongst themselves. Consequently, to this the Government sold off 10 percent of its share holding in ONGC to IOC and 2.5 percent to GAIL. With this, the government holding in ONGC came down to 84.11 percent.

In the year 2002-2003, after taking over MRPL from A V Birla Group, ONGC diversified in to the downstream sector. ONGC will soon be entering in the retailing business. ONGC Videsh Ltd (OVL). ONGC has made major investment in Vietnam, Sakhalin and Sudan and earned its first hydrocarbon revenue from its investment in Vietnam.

“To be a world class Oil and Gas Company, integrated and energy business with dominant Indian Leadership and global presence”.

Earlier ONGC’s Mission was “to stimulate, continue and accelerate exploration efforts to develop and maximize the contribution of hydrocarbons to the economy of the country” . But with the liberalization and Globalization in the economy, it changed its mission. Now it is:

The growth in ONGC’s market capitalization (from Rs 18500 crore before may 2001 to Rs 1,25,000 crore in January 2004) is unprecedented and except Wipro (who had higher market capitalization temporarily), no other Indian company (either public or private sector has seen such a phenomenal growth.

ONGC has come a long way from the day (a few years back) when India and ONGC did not figure on the global oil and gas map. Today ONGC group has 14 properties in 10 foreign countries. Going by the investment (committed: USD 1.919 billion) ONGC is the biggest Indian Multinational Corporation (MNC).

ONGC ended the sect oral regime in the Indian hydrocarbon industry and benchmarked the globally – established integrated business model; it took up 71.6 % equity in the Manglore – Hasan—Banglore product pipeline , connecting the refinery to the Karnataka hinterland. By turning around MRPL in 368 days, ONGC has set standards of public sector companies reviewing joint (or private) sector companies , providing that in business , Professionalism matters , not ownership.

All these have been made by the ONGCians , working round the clock at the remotest corners of the country , and abroad , to power the aspirations of a billion Indians, for an improved quality of life.

Page 19: Summer Internship Project Finalized 1

The liberalization of Indian economy and the consequent drive of integration with worked market have thrown up a plethora of opportunities for ONGC to become globally competitive and access in Global markets. The Government of India has identified ONGC as a leading “NAVARATANA “(NINE JEWELS) in 1997 to support in its drive to become global giant by granting enhanced autonomy and delegation of powers ONGC is one of the eleven elite Public sector organizations for development as global giants , and may be accorded the status of “MAHANAVARATNA”.

Rely on company skills and positional assets.

Focus on core business areas.

Opportunity- specific diversification.

Page 20: Summer Internship Project Finalized 1

RESTRUCTURING OF ONGC:

Page 23: Summer Internship Project Finalized 1

ONGC has been converted into public Ltd. Company. It has been incorporated as Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. On 23rd june 1993 under the Companies Act 1956. The government of India issued an ordinance on 22 july 1993, so that the business of the commission could be taken over by the new company. The Lok Sabha on 23 August 1993 passed the “Oil and Natural Gas Commission” (transfer of undertaking repeal ) Bill 1993 and the Rajya Sabha on 27 August 1993 to provide for the transfer and vesting of the undertaking of Oil and Natural Gas Commission Ltd on 1st February 1994.

The new company will be expanding the capital base diluting Government holding by offering fresh shares to Mutual funds, employees and public. As per the stipulation , the money thus raised would be used to meet its own funds ONGC to function more efficiency , with greater flexibility in raising resources from the capital market;such functional flexibility would be helping the company to perform btter to meet its production targets.

Page 24: Summer Internship Project Finalized 1

SWOT ANALYSISSTRENGTH:

The company is highly cost competitive and has established network in India.

The company has gained expertise in the field of onshore and offshore oil exploration.

ONGC is one of the few companies in the world , which operates a large number of oil field services such as drilling , production testing , geophysical and logistic service.

ONGC is the only company in India who is involved in offshore construction activities related to oil and gas projects for more than two decades. It has rich experience over the last 25 years in its execution and possesses abundant data associated with these projects.

ONGC contributes 90% of Indian crude oil production .

The organization possesses highly skilled manpower at a low cost. The operational cost of ONGC is among the lowest in the world and its reserve level is equivalent to 23 years of production.

ONGC can boast of installing 28 process platform , 132 well platforms and more than 4000km submarine pipelines.

Another area of strength of ONGC is its commitment and quality of maintenance management.

Page 25: Summer Internship Project Finalized 1

WEAKNESS:

The purchase procedure of ONGC does not lead to feasible and past purchase decision.

Behaviors of the certain reservoirs in Mumbai have not been in line with the expectation, which would enroll investment in the future.

There is lower realization per barren as compared to international prices.

The company’s earnings were from the vagaries of global crude oil prices. This will be a weakness for the company when the government decontrols the oil sector.

OPPORTUNITIES:

ONGC has an opportunity for growth in overseas market through subsidiary ONGC Videsh Ltd. (OVL).

The company has entered into strategic alliance with IOC to form a national oil entity for domestic and global operations.

ONGC has been receiving adjusted prices for crude oil and once the government removes APM, the earnings are expected to increase.

The company will have prices fixed according to the international crude oil prices . In near future the international crude oil prices are not expected to fall as OPEC countries have announced a production cut.

Page 26: Summer Internship Project Finalized 1

THREATS:

ONGC has a lot of exposure to the group companies in the form of cross holdings. This is hampering the financial soundness of the company. The company paid Rs 1700 crore to the government for a 10% stake in IOC and 5% in GAIL.

The company is a favored company by the GOI and in the decontrolled scenario, it could face greather challenges from private player.

Page 27: Summer Internship Project Finalized 1

ONGC is the biggest wealth creator among the public and private sector companies in India. Its market capitalization exceeds Rupees one trillion placing it number one on India bourse , otherwise it ranks among top ten oil and gas companies in the world in terms of market capitalization.

ONGC was ranked overall as the second biggest E&P company and first in terms of profits globally in the 2nd Platts Energy business Technology (EBT) survey , 2003 . ONGC has climbed to this covetous position over 50 years of soiling and toiling in surveying , drilling and production oil and gas.

ONGC started earning revenue from the sale of oil and gas in early seventies. Though it increased with rising output of oil and gas , the influence of the international price was dominant . With production of crude oil almost remaining stagnant over the preceding 15 years , the rising output of natural gas and value added products as well as excessive hike in the global oil prices have accentuated the revenue earning of ONGC.

Accordingly, the growing net profit has turned ONGC into the most affluent in the country.

Page 57: Summer Internship Project Finalized 1

ONGC considers the human resources to be its greatest assets in its stride to achieve corporate excellence. The success of the company is due its 41,000 strongly, highly motivated, professionally competent committed multidisciplinary workforce comprising of scientist, technologists, engineers and other support personnel. The pension scheme that is adopted by the ONGC for its employees is formulated for their old age benefits and for the safety of their dependents.

Following are the few suggestions and recommendation towards the PRBS section or TRUST, which is established for the aforesaid purpose:

1) Employees are a very important part of any business organization. That’s why their suggestions and opinion are of great importance. So at the time of adopting or implementing any new changes and rules in said Pension Scheme the PRBS Trust should welcome employee’s views and opinions and if required then the same should be implemented keeping in mind the interest of all.

2) Total Contribution (normal and additional contribution) that is to be made by the employees should amend in accordance to the comfort level of the employees, so that they don’t feel it as a burden on them that they have to pay it even if they don’t desire.

3) The investment should be made more fruitful, so that they can be yield good rate of returns on them and hence the benefits of the employees can also be increased, who contribute a certain portion of their salaries towards the PRBS trust.

Page 58: Summer Internship Project Finalized 1

history

ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited) is India's leading oil & gas exploration company. ONGC has produced more than 600 million metric tonnes of crude oil and supplied more than 200 billion cubic metres of gas since its inception. Today, ONGC is India's highest profit making corporate. It has a share of 77 percent in India's crude oil production and 81 per cent in India's natural gas production.

The origins of ONGC can be traced to the Industrial Policy Statement of 1948, which called for the development of petroleum industry in India. Until 1955, private oil companies such as Assam Oil Company at Digboi, Oil India Ltd (a 50% joint venture between Government of India and Burmah Oil Company) at Naharkatiya and Moran in Assam, and Indo-Stanvac Petroleum project (a joint venture between Government of India and Standard Vacuum Oil Company of USA) at West Bengal, were engaged in exploration work. The vast sedimentary tract in other parts of India and adjoining offshore were largely unexplored. In 1955, Government of India decided to develop the oil and natural gas resources in the various regions of the country as part of the Public Sector development. To achieve this objective an Oil and Natural Gas Directorate was set up in1955, as a subordinate office under the then Ministry of Natural Resources and Scientific Research.

The Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956 placed mineral oil industry among the schedule 'A' industries. In August 1956, to ensure efficient functioning of the Oil and Natural Gas Directorate, the Directorate was raised to the status of a commission with enhanced powers. In October 1959, the Commission was converted into a statutory body by an act of the Indian Parliament, which enhanced powers of the commission further. In 1960s, ONGC found new resources in Assam and established new oil province in Cambay basin (Gujarat). In early 1970s went offshore and discovered a giant oil field in the form of Bombay High. After liberalization in 1991, ONGC was re-organized as a limited Company under the Company's Act, 1956 in February 1994. Today, ONGC has grown into a full-fledged horizontally integrated petroleum company. Recently, ONGC has made six new discoveries, at Vasai West (oil and gas) in Western Offshore, GS-49 (gas) and GS-KW (oil and gas) in Krishna-Godavari Offshore, Chinnewala Tibba (gas) in Rajasthan, and Laipling-gaon (oil and gas) and Banamali (oil), both in Assam.

ONGC has a fully owned subsidiary, ONGC Videsh Ltd (OVL) that looks for exploration opportunities in other parts of the world. OVL is pursuing exploration of oil and gas in Russia, Iran, Iraq, Libya Myanmar and other countries. ONGC has also acquired 72% stake in MRPL with full management control of the 9.69 tonne, state-of-the-art refinery.

 ONGC Bags NPMP Awards In Creativity And Finance

 ONGC News, 4th July 2003 ONGC’s production engineers dominated the stage in the “Creativity and Innovation” category of NPMP awards for 2001-02, which were distributed by the Petroleum Minister Mr. Ram Naik on July 3, 2003.

While GM (P), Mumbai, Mr. Padam Singh, secured the individual award for excellence in “Creativity and Innovation”, a team of ONGC, comprising of Mr. Padam Singh and GM (P), Mr. Ashok Varma, bagged a certificate of recognition in the same category.

Close on the heels of announcement of ONGC’s grand financial results for the 2002-03 fiscal, the Corporation also received the NPMP award for excellence for finance management for 2001-02. This was the second consecutive year and the third year in all, that ONGC has been awarded the NPMP recognition for the best financially managed public corporation in the petroleum industry.

for Finance management from the Petroleum Minister Mr. Ram Naik

Talking to ONGC Reports after the award, Director (Finance) Mr. R S Sharma said, “Basically, our organization as a whole is our strength”. Mr. Sharma opined that ONGC is a very professionally managed company with strong fundamentals. “We just need to have confidence in us,” he observed.

Mr. Padam Singh, who is heading the IMPETUS project, believes that the secret of success in any business endeavour lies in teamwork. In a brief interview with ONGC Reports after receiving the prestigious award, Mr. Singh opined that one should look for opportunities, a lot of which are available in ONGC for the creative people to innovate. “In the first few years of one’s service, one should work very hard to learn,” observed the innovator, who accords a high weightage to grooming behind one’s capability to innovate.

Mr. Padam Singh, a Master of Chemical Engineering from the Roorkee University, got the award for his improved design of separators at process platforms in the western offshore field of ONGC, leading to better gas handling capacity. Apart from landing him the prestigious NPMP award, his innovative design will lead to a saving of crores of rupees to the petroleum giant.

His partner for the team effort, Mr. Ashok Varma, a petroleum engineer from ISM Dhanbad, is more down to earth. He considers common sense as the recipe for creativity. “Observing the flaring of gas, and the consequent wastage of precious energy, I started scouting for ideas from our day-to-day chores”, remarked Mr. Varma, who, along with Mr. Padam Singh, have installed an ejector, designed in-house, at the Heera platform of ONGC for recovery of low-pressure gas using high-pressure gas as a motive fluid. Before this, the low-pressure gas from the surge tank was being flared, despite being rich in heavy hydrocarbons. The innovation is working successfully and is resulting in to recovery of naptha, LPG and lean gas worth Rs 11 lakh per day.

GAIL got the award for Project Management of projects costing more than Rs. 100 Crore, while Indian Oil Corporation was the awardee for Project Management in projects costing between Rs. 10 Crore and 100 Crore.

Earlier, the Petroleum Minister Mr. Ram Naik, while congratulating all the awardees, expressed happiness over the performance of the petroleum industry as a whole in the last few years, especially after the dismantling of the Administered Pricing Mechanism (APM). He urged all the petroleum companies to, not only maintain the standards, but also strive to reach greater heights in the future.

National Petroleum Management Programme (NPMP), set-up in 1997, is a learning and knowledge-creating network of oil industry organizations in India. Deriving its agenda to enhance enterprise capabilities from the strategic needs of the industry, the NPMP awards are an attempt to identify, recognize and encourage excellence among the enterprises of the petroleum sector.
