About Dataset

Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Statistics 1986–87 provides a detailed statistical account of India’s petroleum sector and its development through 1986–87. The report begins with selected economic indicators, industry highlights, important events and an at-a-glance overview of petroleum-industry growth from 1970–71 to 1986–87. It presents commodity balances, industry growth measures and petroleum-energy statistics for calendar and financial years. The exploration section covers deep-drilling rig deployment, well and metreage activity by ONGC and OIL, exploratory and development drilling, geological and geophysical field achievements, and state-wise drilling accomplishments. Crude-oil statistics include reserves and company- and state-wise production on calendar and financial-year bases. Natural-gas coverage includes reserves, state-wise gross and net production, utilisation and industry-wise offtakes. Refining statistics document installed capacity, refinery crude throughput, petroleum-product production, refinery-wise crude runs and long-term domestic production trends. The report also examines total and product-wise petroleum consumption, seasonal patterns, market participation, bunkers, state-wise and per-capita consumption, sectoral end-use, lubricants, railway diesel, naphtha, LSHS/HHS and fuel consumption for electricity generation. Foreign-trade tables cover imports, exports, trade balances, OPEC trade and foreign-exchange reserves. Additional sections address petroleum-industry manpower, prices, excise/custom duties, royalty, oil-development cess and state sales taxes.

Purpose of Dataset

The purpose of Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Statistics 1986–87 is to provide a consolidated statistical reference for assessing the structure, scale and development of India’s petroleum industry. It supports analysis of exploration activity, drilling, crude-oil and natural-gas reserves and production, refining capacity and output, petroleum-product consumption, foreign trade, manpower, prices and taxation. Historical series extending from the early post-independence period and from 1970–71 onward enable comparison of industry growth across calendar and financial years. The publication also facilitates assessment of petroleum-energy trends, state-wise and company-wise performance, market participation, fuel use, imports and exports, and fiscal contributions from petroleum products.
