India-Sudan Energy Partnership

Energy partnership between India and Sudan intensified when Indian public sector Oil Company Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) – entered into a production contract in oil fields of Sudan in the year 2003. New Delhi’s active pursuit of ‘equity oil’ in Africa, with an objective to reduce its increasing dependence on ‘import oil’ required for sustaining its economic growth, coincided with the decision of the political regime in Khartoum to carry out diversification of the transnational production partnership through consolidation of multiple Asian participations in its oil sector. The underlying rationale for such approach of ‘Asian orientation’ lies in the intents to ensure that the country’s oil production remains less dependent on the partnership with the Western oil firms, and to avoid a situation where one Asian player monopolizes its oil sector.
