High oil and gas prices have led to a significant momentum in the E&P industry globally. Despite challenges in discoveries of new reserves, E&P companies world over are using their strong cash flows in investing sizably in their exploration initiatives along with exploiting current production levels.
This has in turn led to a spurt in E&P activities resulting in tight rig availability and increased rig rentals, coupled with increase in cost of related services.
As a forerunner in the E&P sector in India, RIL's business strategy is aimed at enhancing vertical integration in its energy business and capturing the value across the entire energy chain. RIL's oil and gas business provides a strong commitment towards strengthening India's energy security.
