Domestic crude oil production contracts 6% in June
New Delhi: Domestic crude oil production contracted 6% and natural gas output fell 12% in June from a year earlier.
Crude oil production fell to 2,527 thousand metric tonnes in June as the Coronavirus pandemic compounded problems for India’s ageing fields whose output have been declining for years. Decline in output from fields operated by ONGC was just 1% while for the fields operated by Oil India and the private sector was almost 10% and 16%, respectively.
