Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Statistics 1985–86 provides comprehensive statistical information on India’s petroleum industry, covering industry highlights, historical growth, petroleum energy, exploration, crude oil and natural gas reserves and production, refining, petroleum consumption and sales, foreign trade, and manpower. It combines current-year statistics with long-term industry series.
Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Statistics 1985–86 presents a detailed statistical overview of India’s petroleum industry and its development through 1985–86. The publication begins with industry highlights, important events, an at-a-glance profile covering 1970–71 to 1985–86, petroleum-industry growth on calendar and financial-year bases, and petroleum-energy statistics. The Exploration section covers deep-drilling rig deployment, wells and metreage drilled by ONGC and OIL, exploratory and development drilling since 1970–71, annual well status, and state-wise achievements of geological field parties, geophysical field parties and drilling operations through March 1986. The Crude Oil section provides crude-oil reserves together with company-wise production on calendar- and financial-year bases and state-wise production. Natural Gas statistics include reserves, state-wise gross production, long-term gross and net production, financial-year utilisation and industry-wise offtakes. The Refining section documents refining capacity as of 1 April 1986, refinery crude throughput, petroleum-product production, refinery-wise crude runs, long-term domestic production trends and refinery production patterns. Consumption/Sales includes historical total consumption, product-wise sales, seasonal indices, market participation, state-wise and per-capita consumption, sectoral end-use, lubricants, railway diesel, naphtha, LSHS/HHS and fuel use for power generation. Foreign-trade tables cover imports, exports, OPEC trade balances, foreign-exchange reserves and POL imports. Manpower statistics provide employment and category-wise workforce data.
The purpose of Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Statistics 1985–86 is to provide a consolidated statistical reference for analysing India’s petroleum industry and its development. It supports examination of exploration and drilling activity, crude-oil and natural-gas reserves and production, refining capacity and output, petroleum-product consumption and sales, fuel utilisation, foreign trade and industry employment. Historical data from 1970–71 onward enables assessment of long-term trends, while company-wise, state-wise, refinery-wise, product-wise and sector-wise statistics support detailed comparisons. The publication is useful for researchers, policymakers, industry analysts and institutions studying petroleum production, refining, energy use, market development and India’s changing petroleum-sector requirements.
