India likely to nearly double Oil and Gas production ?
2009 April 4
Recent energy finds in India encouraged me to look out further into the issue and do some back of the envelope calculations. As it turns out, the gas discovery in the Godavari basin by Reliance is far more significant than the oil strike by Cairns in Barmer in terms of energy production. Overall, these two finds are likely to nearly double India’s energy production by 2010.
World and India oil and gas numbers were taken from the EIA website. Gas numbers were reduced to barrel of oil equivalents through a rough conversion rate of 1 barrels ~ 6 tcf of gas.
