Lion Energy Advances Oil Exploration with Rig Contract in Indonesia

Lion Energy Advances Oil Exploration with Rig Contract in Indonesia

Lion Energy has secured a contract with Silver City Drilling for the SCD-20 rig to drill the Bula Karang-1 exploration well in Indonesia's East Seram production sharing contract. This marks a significant step in the company's exploration activities in the region. The well is expected to spud in mid-2026 and aims to target oil resources in the East Seram block. Designed as a deviated well, Bula Karang-1 will test offshore structures from an onshore location, which is intended to reduce development costs while accessing potential reservoirs. The prospect is estimated to contain approximately 12 million barrels of oil, with drilling anticipated to provide further insights into the block's resource potential.

Oil India Increases Crude Production in Rajasthan Amid Global Tensions

Oil India Increases Crude Production in Rajasthan Amid Global Tensions

Oil India Ltd has significantly increased its crude oil production from the Thar desert in Rajasthan, achieving a record output of 1,202 barrels per day from the Jodhpur sandstone formation. This marks a 70% increase from the previous year's production of 705 barrels per day. The company attributes this success to the deployment of advanced recovery techniques, including Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS), which is a thermal enhanced oil recovery method used for extracting high-viscosity crude. The Baghewala oil field, located in the Bikaner-Nagaur sub-basin, is one of the few onshore heavy oil fields in India. Oil India has completed CSS operations in 19 wells, a 72% increase from the previous year, and drilled 13 new wells. The crude oil produced is transported to ONGC facilities in Gujarat and then sent via pipeline to the Koyali refinery operated by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd.

Trump Administration Merges Offshore Drilling Agencies to Enhance Efficiency

Trump Administration Merges Offshore Drilling Agencies to Enhance Efficiency

The Trump administration announced the merger of two agencies that were originally separated following the 2010 Gulf oil spill. The Interior Department is combining the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement into a new entity called the Marine Minerals Administration. This move aims to streamline operations, improve coordination, and expedite the permitting process for offshore oil and gas drilling. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stated that the reorganization will maintain existing regulatory protections and safety standards while providing better service and oversight of offshore energy development. The decision has sparked criticism from environmental groups who argue that it could lead to a repeat of past regulatory failures.
