Tamil Research Institution (TRI) DGH : Framework and Role 2.1 FORMATION AND FRAMEWORK OF DGH The liberalized economic policy adopted by the Government of India (GoI) in July 1991 sought to de-regulate and de-license the core sectors (including the petroleum sector) with partial disinvestments of government equity in Public Sector Undertakings along with other measures. The upstream petroleum sector was largely a monopoly of public sector companies till then and the sector was being increasingly opened up to new operating companies in the private and joint sectors. Thus, a need was felt to establish an agency that could effectively supervise the activities of all these companies in the national interest. The same was elucidated by the committee headed by late Dr. A. B. Dasgupta, which recommended for creation of an autonomous conservation board to oversee and review oilfield development programs for sound reservoir engineering practices in line with national interests. Subsequently, a committee was constituted in 1992 under the chairmanship of late Shri P. K. Kaul, former Cabinet Secretary, to examine the need for restructuring ONGC’s organizational structure. This committee also recommended for establishment of an independent regulatory body called the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) for discharging the regulatory functions of leasing and licensing, safety and environment and also development, conservation and reservoir management of Hydrocarbon resources in India. Accordingly, Directorate General of Hydrocarbons was set up through GoI resolution No. O-20013/2/92/ONG-III dated 08.04.1993 under the administrative control of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. 2.2 OBJECTIVE OF DGH The objective of DGH is to promote sound management of the Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas resources having a balanced regard for the environment, safety, technological and economic aspects of the petroleum activity. 2.3 ROLE & FUNCTIONS »» A nodal agency for implementation of NELP and CBM policy on behalf of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas »» To advise Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas on Exploration Strategies & Production Policies »» To provide technical advice to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas on issues relevant to the exploration and optimal exploitation of hydrocarbons in the country »» To review the exploration programs of companies operating under Petroleum Exploration Licenses granted under the Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Act, 1948 and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Rules, 1959 with a view to advising Government on the adequacy of these programs »» To evaluate the hydrocarbon reserves discovered and estimated by the operating companies 20 DGH : Framework and Role www.tamilri.com
