October 10, 2019 | Here We Go Again – Tellurian LNG, More Questions Than Answers: Amazing spectacle of consistent bungling: this sentence sums up the history of India’s LNG deals so far contracted. Some of the deals have been renegotiated but still Indians end up paying a price higher than what their counterparts pay elsewhere. The country does not have a shortage of talents to negotiate such deals, but those who know the subject are seldom associated and those associated have deep vested interests. What about the recent Tellurian-Petronet LNG deal? It is perceived to be a big initiative by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recent visit to the US. Prime Ministers and presidents do not negotiate deals. It is done by the concerned people. How wisely has it been negotiated by the PLL leadership? So many questions have already been raised about the deal. The share market too reacted adversely. Is it a case of massive bungling as alleged by its critics? Our Free Access column Petro Intelligence carries the most insightful and comprehensive piece on the deal so far to appear in the media. A well - researched piece with no malice whatsoever.

On April 10, 2018 www.indianoilandgas.com entered the 25th year of service to the Indian and international oil and gas industry. When the hardcopy version with its masthead, Indian Oil & Gas, came out 25 years ago, India’s petroleum industry was almost totally controlled by the government.
