ONGC uses stuck Russian dividend dues for Sakhalin fund, seeks operatorship of Venezuela oilfields
Reported by: Economic Times ·
Summary
Economic Times reported that ONGC has used dividend money stuck in Russia to meet its obligations towards the Sakhalin-1 abandonment fund. An abandonment fund is money set aside to cover the cost of shutting down and cleaning up an oilfield at the end of its life. The same report said ONGC is negotiating with Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA to take operational control of the San Cristobal oilfield and one other field. Operatorship means running the day-to-day operations of a field. The report did not give the size of the Russian dues, the fund amount or the terms being discussed with PDVSA. ONGC is a listed company, so these overseas assets and the money tied up in them matter to how its business is run.
