Unconventional Natural Gas: Petroleum Ministry

Indian Delegation Dept: Indian officials were in Cal-gary to drum up investment and promote the country's latest licensing round just as PetroChina made a $5.4-billion foray into Encana Corp.'s unconventional natural gas play, according to Calgary Herald. Representatives of ONGC Videsh Ltd. and Gas Authority India Ltd. were reportedly in Calgary with the broader Indian delegation to discuss possible oilsands and unconventional gas buys with unnamed sellers and after taking a back seat to China, India is finally ready to make an entrance on the Canadian energy scene, officials from the country's petroleum ministry said this week. Although the purpose of the trip was ostensibly to gain Canadian investment in India, Sunil Kumar Srivastava, the director general of hydrocarbons at the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, confirmed that Indian officials were also here to discuss investments in Canada, specifically in the oilsands. As reported in the news.
