Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd.

Dear Shareholders,

The Board of Directors of your Company (ONGC) are pleased to share with you the highlights, developments and the progress that your Company has made during the financial year ended 31.03.2019 and to present the 26th Annual Report on the business and operations of the Company and its Audited Statements of Accounts together with the Auditors' Report and Comments on the Accounts by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India.

The business environment was again marked by great uncertainty in FY'19. Disruptive socio-economic and political changes continued to affect growth in many parts of the world. In the emerging markets, economic volatility worsened as growth rates slowed and currencies weakened. In the developed markets, deflationary pressures and soft consumer demand resulted in a continuous challenging trading environment. In the face of such uncertainty, it was more important than ever to stay on course and remain loyal to our strategy, driving short-term performance while ensuring we made the right decisions to deliver our long-term goals.

We are pleased to share that, despite the uncertainty, your Company along with its group companies have registered yet another year of sustained performance. Exploration and production, our core business, set various milestones during the year. Besides that, performance in the areas where ONGC has engaged substantially also witnessed success with positive contributions.

During FY'19, on account of exploratory efforts, 137.05 Million Metric tonnes (MMt) of Oil and Oil Equivalent Gas (O+OEG) accretion to In-place Hydrocarbons (3P) from ONGC-operated areas in India has been realized. 95.42 MMt of O+OEG In-place volume (about 69.6 percent of Total In-place) have been accreted from New Discoveries and Delineation/Appraisal efforts. 41.63 MMt of O+OEG In-place volume (about 30.4 percent of Total In-place) have been accreted as an outcome of data generated through other exploratory efforts.

During the year, the Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) accretion in 2P category from ONGC operated areas in India has been 63.02 MMt of O+OEG.

Accretion from JV non-operated areas in India has been 20.25 MMt (O+OEG) in In-place Volume and 11.45 MMt (O+OEG) in EUR.

Domestic crude oil and natural gas production of ONGC along with its share in the domestic joint ventures (PSC-JVs) during FY'19 has been 50.04 million metric tonnes of oil and oil equivalent gas (MMtoe) which has been almost at the same level as during FY' 18.

9. Other Exploration Initiatives/Activities National Seismic Programme (NSP):

ONGC has been assigned by MoPNG the responsibility to carry out 2D seismic Acquisition, Processing & Interpretation (API) of 40,835 LKM of data in un-appraised areas of Indian sedimentary basins. In view of revision of basin boundaries, the volume of work assigned to ONGC was also increased to 42,211 LKM by DGH in June, 2018.

As on 31.03.2019, ONGC has acquired 32,319 LKM of seismic data (76.6 % of total revised target of 42,211 LKM) and processed about 13,346 LKM of complete seismic lines.

Basement Exploration: This year also, ONGC took up Basement Exploration as a major initiative. During the year 2018-19, 25 wells were drilled for with Basement exploration. Deliberate search of hydrocarbons in the Mesozoic sequence of Kutch Saurashtra block of western offshore basin has led to discovery of a new hydrocarbon bearing play in the fractured dolerite intrusives which flowed gas in substantial quantity extendingthe exploration frontier around the area. Encouraging results obtained through drilling of a number of new prospects during the year in the Padra field of Cambay Basin and the UAS block of A&AA basin has further enhanced the scope of basement exploration. Development initiatives taken up for exploitation of the fractured Precambrian reservoirs in the Thirunagari and Pundi fields of Cauvery basin have been met with expected results, encouraging sustenance of scope for basement exploration and exploitation. Your Company has also identified 25 prospects from G&G interpretation for basement exploration which are being finalized.

HP-HT Exploration: HP-HT (High Pressure - High Temperature) regime begins at a minimum temperature-pressure domain of 150°C (300°F) and 10,000 Psi respectively. During the year 2018-19, in GS-OSN-2004/1 block of Western Offshore Basin, exploratory HP-HT well GSS-041-NAA#C has been successfully drilled and tested in Jhuran formation (Mesozoic) to be gas bearing. In KG offshore, HP-HT Well YS-6-2#sub has been successfully drilled to the target depth of 5,324m without complications and hermetically tested on March 28, 2019. The HP-HT well is being taken up for testing. In Cauvery Basin, HP-HT well ABAAJCKL has been drilled to 5,500m. After testing three objects, the well was abandoned. Further, the HP-HT well VNAC in Cauvery Basin has been concluded at depth of 3,760m against the target depth of 4,900m due to high pressure. The testing of the well is being taken up. In A&AA Basin, three HP wells in Khubal field had been drilled and tested with result of gas indication. Further, three HP wells in Kunjaban field have been taken up for drilling and testing for Lower Bhuban Formation.

10. Exploration and Production from Unconventional Sources

a) Coal Bed Methane (CBM):

Currently, ONGC is operating in four CBM Blocks, i.e., Jharia, Bokaro, North Karanpura (Jharkand) and Raniganj (West Bengal). After completion of Phase-I and II activities, development activities of Bokaro and North Karanpura is in progress. Revised Field Development Plans (FDP) for Jharia and Raniganj is under approval.

b) Shale Gas

During 2018-19, a total of 3 exclusive shale gas wells (NDSGA and NGSGA in Cambay basin and WGSGA in KG Basin) were drilled and one dual objective well NCSAA in KG Basin is presently under testing. So far, ONGC has completed drilling of 26 wells (of which 8 are exclusive wells and 18 are dual objective wells) in 21 blocks across four basins of Cambay, KG, Cauvery and A&AA Basins. Attempts are continuing to establish the shale gas/oil potential in the identified blocks. However, some indications of the presence of oil have been observed during the activation of the zones during hydro-fracturing in wells JMSGA and GNSGB in Cambay Basin and WGSGA in KG Basin. Presently, further activation is required in well WGSGA in KG Basin whereas well GNSGC in Cambay Basin is awaiting hydro-fracturing.

c) Underground Coal Gasification

Due to its inability to continue with UGC project, Gujarat Industries Power Company Limited expressed to withdraw from the Vastan UCG project. ONGC has done lot of ground work in this project and invested a lot of resources on UCG. A memorandum has been received from Ministry of Coal (MoC) on 31.10.2018, regarding allotment of the Vastan block to ONGC for testing of UCG pilot. MoC has sought confirmation from ONGC under UCG Policy terms and conditions, issued by MoC vide notification dated 26.09.2016. i.e., for full tenure 33 years of contract in 4 phases of exploration, pilot assessment, development and production. Allotment of Block from MoC is awaited.

d) Gas Hydrate Exploration Program

ONGC, as a NGHP Consortium Member of National Gas Hydrate Program of Gol, has played a significant role in G&G studies for the identification of sites for NGHP-01(2006)/ NGHP R&D Expedition-02 (2015) and successfully executed with on-board studies of both the expeditions.

The results of NGHP-02R&D Expedition are very encouraging and producible gas hydrates have been discovered in KG deep offshore areas in sand reservoirs which will be taken up for production testing during NGHP-03.

Presently, Gas Hydrate Research and Technology Centre (GHRTC) is involved in R&D activities in exploration for gas hydrate prospects in Indian Deep waters and potential exploitation methodologies for gas hydrates through in-house efforts and

PAN IIT collaborations. About eight in-house and two collaborative projects were completed. Four collaborative projects are in progress. Potential exploitation methodologies besides in-house studies like sand control, well bore completions and Depressurisation techniques, various production simulation studies have been carried out in collaboration with USA.
