State-run oil explorers ONGC and Oil India Ltd are planning to begin a Rs 3,200 crore stratigraphic drilling campaign in untapped offshore areas early next year, as part of efforts to discover new hydrocarbon reserves and cut reliance on imports, officials said. In the first phase, four wells will be drilled in deepsea of Andaman, Mahanadi, Saurashtra and Bengal sedimentary basins. Global energy giant BP will provide technical expertise in identifying the locations as well as drilling, officials said. Stratigraphic drilling - also known as a stratigraphic test well - is a type of exploratory drilling aimed at studying underground geological formations rather than producing oil or gas. These wells are drilled to gather data on subsurface layers through continuous coring, petrophysical logging, and seismic data integration. The objective is to build a detailed geological profile to support future hydrocarbon exploration, without any immediate intent to extract resources. This will he

Japanese shipping firm Mitsui O.S.K. Lines will operate two very large ethane carriers for Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) to import petrochemical feedstock for a subsidiary of the state-owned company, sources said. ONGC has entered into a partnership to build, own and operate two very large ethane carriers (VLECs). The two firms are currently discussing equity structure of the joint venture, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said. Mitsui is likely to own majority stake in the ships that would be built in Korean shipyards, they said adding the exact equity structure would depend on ONGC's appetite. The specialised ships, with an estimated cost of USD 370 million for the pair, are intended to secure the petrochemical feedstock for ONGC Petro Additions Ltd's (OPaL) Dahej facility, with ethane imports beginning around mid-2028.
