據經濟時報3月25日新德里報道：印度的石油產量在2月份下降了6.4％，原因是私營公司經營的油田產量下降，根據石油部公布的官方數據顯示，2月份的原油產量為239萬噸，比去年同期的256萬噸低6.41％。

國有石油天然氣公司（ONGC）報告稱其產量增加了4.64％，至167萬噸，是因為其海上油田的產量有所回升，。但是，私營企業運營的油田產量下降了32.6％，拉賈斯坦邦的油田產量急劇下降了32.3％。

印度石油公司2月份的原油產量下降了13.13%，為240,260噸。天然氣產量下降近9％，至22億立方米，而ONGC在東部近海油田產量下降的背景下，產量下降逾4％。該部表示，ONGC的天然氣產量較低是由于“由于沙子侵入問題，東部近海的Vasistha / S1井的天然氣產量減少。”

此外，Bassein油田和Daman Tapti區塊的產量也低于計劃。

India's oil production in February dips 6.4 percent

India's oil production fell 6.4 percent in February as a decline in output from fields operated by private firms，Crude oil production at 2.39 million tonnes in February was 6.41 percent lower than 2.56 million tonnes output in the same month a year back, according to official data released by the oil ministry here.

State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) reported a 4.64 percent rise in production at 1.67 million tonnes as output from its offshore fields saw a pick-up.However, fields operated by the private sector firms reported a 32.6 percent drop with those in Rajasthan seeing a sharp 32.3 percent lower production.

Crude oil production by Oil India Ltd (OIL) in February was 13.13 per cent lower at 240,260 tonnes.Natural gas production dipped almost 9 percent to 2.2 billion cubic meters as ONGC logged over 4 percent lower output on the back of a drop in output from eastern offshore fields.

The ministry said ONGC's lower gas output was due to "less gas production from Vasistha/S1 wells in eastern offshore due to sand incursion issues."

Also, output was less than planned from Bassein field and Daman Tapti block.
