The up to 20 per cent rally on Friday in stocks of oil exploration, equipment and services companies is expected to be short-lived. The fundamentals continue to remain weak for the segment in the near term, experts said.
On Thursday, Reliance Industries (RIL) announced it would invest Rs 40,000 crore ($6 billion) in three projects, over three to five years, for developing discoveries in its D6 block in the Krishna-Godavari basin, along with its 30 per cent partner, BP. The two will explore options to develop differentiated fuels, mobility and advanced low-carbon energy businesses in India, said RIL.
