This technique to increase crude productivity in reversal method will be implemented in oil pipelines connecting Bongaigaon to Guwahati including Numaligarh in the next phase.


OIL in the attempt to strengthen their position in the energy-rich Arctic region is planning with Bharat PetroResources Ltd (a unit of Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd or BPCL) to buy stake in Vankor Cluster that comprises Tagulskoye, Suzunskoye, and Lodochnoye fields. Russia's national oil company Rosneft may give OIL a tough challenge as it owns the fields and plans to gain majority stake from it where OVL is emphasising them to sell. In this split of Russian oil stake decision India may have to settle with 49 % and OVL with 26% and rest Rosneft.
