India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has issued a notice that invites partners to further develop oil and gas production from its 64 marginal nomination fields in order to optimise recovery by incorporating new technologies.

According to the notice inviting offer (NIO), interested companies can participate in the international competitive bidding (ICB) process, which has been announced for 17 onshore contract areas.

The contract areas consist of 64 oil and gas producing fields with a total in-place oil and oil equivalent of gas (O+OEG) volume of 300Mt of oil equivalent.

Companies may bid for one or more contract areas either alone, in consortium or through a joint venture.

According to the company, the bidders will be selected based on revenue sharing, with the revenues being shared on incremental production over and above the baseline production under a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario.

Besides a 15-year term, the contract will have an extension option for an additional 11 years.
