Collaboration between ONGC and ExxonMobil will be a strategic fit where ONGC’s knowledge and past experience in these areas will be coupled with ExxonMobil’s global insights. Partnerships such as these will reportedly bring tangible benefits to the entire energy value chain and open new vistas for Exploration and Production paradigm. This collaboration will boost confidence in going further ahead in deepwater exploration on the east coast of India where the potential is quite significant.
