SHELL is on the verge of helping India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corp increase production from the Kalol field in the Western onshore area, writes Shirish Nadkarni in Mumbai.
The average crude output at Kalol, which is ONGC’s highest producing field in the Ahmedabad asset, is 1,430 tonnes per day. The field also produces associated gas.
Talks between the two companies are understood to be at a nascent stage as details are yet to be firmed up on how Shell would participate in the project.
Shell has already given some proposals for further development of the Kalol field.
Indications are that the Anglo-Dutch company wants to make some investment in the project and not just come in as a service contractor.
‘The concept of how this will be worked out is being discussed,’ a company executive said. ONGC is currently implementing an improved oil recovery scheme to augment production in this field.
The aggregate crude production (along with condensate) for all the fields in the Ahmedabad asset is around 1.7m tonnes per year. These discussions are the first upstream element of a memorandum of understanding inked between the two companies in January 2006 for wide ranging co-operation in the hydrocarbon chain.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
