The Avaldsnes/Aldous Major South oil and gas discovery in the North Sea could be the third-biggest find made off Norway, after Sweden’s Lundin Petroleum more than quadrupled its resource estimates for Avaldsnes on Friday.

Visit http://geicoinsuranceproducts.wordpress.com/ for GEICO Insurance Products News / Reviews.

The find, which could already be the biggest discovery made so far this year worldwide, may hold between 1.2 and 2.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe), Lundin said. A 2.6 billion-barrel discovery would be the third-largest made on the Norwegian shelf, surpassed only by the Statfjord and Ekofisk fields, each with more than 3 billion barrels, which kicked off Norway’s oil era in the 1970s.

GAIL India, the country’s largest marketer and transporter of natural gas, has become the first government-owned energy company to get a foothold in the US market. It has entered into a deal with Carrizo Oil and Gas Inc for acquiring 20 per cent stake in Eagle Ford shale acreage. The GAIL’s entry into the shale business comes within a year of Reliance Industries Ltd marking its presence in the US through the acquisition of shale assets in three assets, that are yet to start production.

GAIL already has a significant international presence with a CNG and City Gas network in Egypt, a stake in China Gas Holdings and a participating interest in two oil and gas blocks in Myanmar.

The board of Oil and Natural Gas Corp has decided to issue a no-objection certificate for London-based miner Vedanta Resources' deal to buy a majority stake in oil and gas explorer Cairn India, state-run ONGC said on Tuesday. The approval moves the long delayed stake sale, one of the largest deals in India's energy sector, close to conclusion and gives London listed Vedanta a slice of India's oil reserves and exposure to surging energy demand.

The nod from state run ONGC, which has a 30% holding in the Cairn operated oil and gas fields in western India, comes after India granted conditional approval to the $6 billion deal in June, after a delay of more than 10 months. The transaction had been held up mainly over the disagreement on royalty payments between the two partners, and had undermined investor sentiment in Asia's third largest economy.

Oil has corrected a lot over the past few weeks but over the longer term, we would still be positive on the sector. Particularly on the gas side, we would be more positive on certain mid-cap stocks in that sector. So, overall I would be positive on the sector. As far as the overall market is concerned, a lot of the headwinds are there whether local or global like high interest rates , inflation , etc.

However if we see, we cannot buy the stocks or the market when the conditions are very good, we have to buy them when we are moving from a worst to a bad scenario. Over the next few weeks, a situation will come when we will move from the worst to a bad scenario and that would be the time to invest into equities. So, I would advise the viewers to look for those kind of opportunities over the next few weeks. A lot of these companies are now valued at 10-12 times large-cap companies, 10-12 times forward earnings or even 12 times historical earnings.

In the case of Cairn Energy, it has disallowed costs of around $200 million that would otherwise dent the rent earned by the government. The petroleum ministry has concurred. But that hardly completes the story. And the lead is given by none other than the petroleum ministry itself: It says its technical arm, the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), had recommended against allowing costs that were incurred in exploring parts of the block that had been relinquished to the government. So, then, who allowed it? And, has the responsible official been penalized? For only such an action would effectively deter officials from squandering away public money.

Cairn Energy Chairman Bill Gammell is understood to have arrived in New Delhi for the meeting. Mr. Gammell had last month skipped the Cairn India shareholders' meet, apparently to escape uncomfortable questions on the change of position. After Cairn India's board agrees to make royalty cost-recoverable and pay cess on oil produced from the Rajasthan fields, it will write to its partner Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) for consent for the Vedanta transaction.

In the wake of the performance audit report of the Comptroller and Auditor-General on Hydrocarbon Production Sharing Contracts for on-shore and off-shore blocks, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Saturday said the nexus between policy-makers and big businesses was exposed and demanded that action be taken against Reliance Industries Limited.

Visit http://axa-equitable-life-insurance.itpatil.com/ for AXA Equitable Life Insurance Blog, News and Reviews.

Besides taking back 95 per cent of exploration area for oil and gas being retained “illegally” by the company in gross violation of the production sharing contract, penalties should be imposed on the company for “gold-plating” contracts and cornering almost the entire share of the profit from petroleum, the party said in a statement. It also wanted a review of the New Exploration Licensing Policy. The party said the audit of KG-6 deepwater block operated by the Reliance Industries revealed malpractices — including inflation of capital costs to claim higher share of profit for petroleum; awarding procurement contracts to others without competitive bidding; retaining the entire 7,654 sq.km. exploration area — causing substantial losses to the government.

The comptroller and auditor general's report has accused the oil ministry of laxity in enforcing the production sharing contract (PSC) for Reliance Industries in the D-6 block, which contains India's biggest gas field. The final report was a benign version of the stinging draft report which had alleged serious irregularities and overstatement of costs, which scared investors and pulled down the company's shares to a 52-week low.

BLM Deputy Director Mike Pool said at a House subcommittee hearing Friday that the public will have a chance to comment as it writes new rules for using so-called "categorical exclusions" of certain land from extra environmental reviews.

The exclusions were allowed under a 2005 law aimed at streamlining approvals needed for oil and gas development on federal land. The BLM developed guidance last year on how to use the exclusions, but a federal judge last month said the agency hadn't given the public a chance to comment on it first.

"Ill-conceived reports that are unduly critical of Indian companies will only help the cause of those who are concerned at the growth and development of Indian industry which is threatening the stranglehold of energy imports on which we are deeply dependent," RIL wrote to the oil ministry, its technical arm Directorate General of Hydrocarbon and principal director of audit at the CAG last month.

ONGC had appointed SBI Caps to do an independent valuation of Cairn India and a few weeks back, it got the draft valuation report, sources privy to the development said. The report outlines Cairn India's valuation under different scenarios of production and crude oil prices. ONGC, they said, has interpreted the valuation report to conclude that Cairn India is worth much less than the Rs 355 a share price that London-listed mining group Vedanta is paying.

PARIS — At least five foreign oil and gas companies are back in Libya to work on resuscitating production, a Libyan official said Friday, as members of the country's interim leadership sought guidance from U.N. and other experts on stabilizing the nation following strongman Muammar Qaddafi's ouster.

Libya's economic future could hinge on the performance of its lucrative oil and gas sectors, whose production ground to a halt during this year's insurgency against Qaddafi. Critics of NATO's airstrike campaign that helped the rebels say its primary purpose was securing oil and gas contracts for the West, not protecting Libyan civilians as the U.N. mandate for the operation outlined. Advance teams from companies that had infrastructure in Libya "are already back" to assess damage and restart facilities, said Aref Ali Nayed, a member of the rebel-led government's so-called stabilization team. He spoke in Paris after talks with U.N. and other international officials.
