Global Upstream Scouting | Asia Pacific | Regional Gas Project Roundup, Vijayapuram Andamonium, Supermajors Slowly Slinking In

Host Patrick Rutty connects with Senior Regional Manager Shankar Krishnan to talk about how much gas can be expected from the region’s FID’d and pre-FID projects and what’s required to keep things moving forward on INPEX’s Abadi and PTTEP’s Lang Lebah. They then turn their attention to Oil India Limited’s exploration campaign in the Andaman Sea to discuss what the initial gas shows and tests portend and – with the rig back on Vijayapuram-1 – whether the dry hole is getting an uphole test or a P&A. The episode finishes with a short bit on the India ambitions of supermajors Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, and TotalEnergies.
