Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, addressed the media in New Delhi, discussing the global oil supply and recent announcements by US President Donald Trump. Puri emphasized that there is no shortage of oil globally, with increased production from countries like Guyana, Suriname, and Canada.
Puri noted that the Indian government is closely monitoring President Trump's energy policies, which include plans to increase oil production. Trump declared a "national energy emergency" to reduce prices, aiming to make America a leading manufacturing nation with abundant oil and gas resources.
Puri highlighted India's growing list of oil suppliers, which has expanded from 27 to 39. He welcomed the increased availability of oil in the market, which could lead to more energy purchases between India and the US.
Puri mentioned that some gas restrictions imposed by the previous US administration were temporary and are expected to be lifted. He expressed optimism about India's energy future, with plans to increase the gas share in the energy mix from 6% to 15%.
During a visit from Horacio Marin, CEO of Argentina's YPF, discussions were held about signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance cooperation. Argentina aims to supply LNG to India, recognizing India's potential as a major global player in the coming decade.
Hardeep Singh Puri is an Indian politician and a Union Minister. He is responsible for handling important government duties related to housing, urban affairs, and petroleum.
Global oil supply refers to the amount of oil that is produced and available for use around the world. It involves many countries that produce and export oil.
US energy policies are the rules and plans made by the United States government about how energy is produced, used, and managed in the country.
Guyana and Canada are countries that produce oil. Guyana is in South America, and Canada is in North America. They are increasing their oil production.
YPF is a company from Argentina that deals with energy, especially oil and gas. They are discussing supplying LNG, which is a type of natural gas, to India.
LNG stands for Liquefied Natural Gas. It is natural gas that has been cooled down to liquid form for easy storage and transport.
Gas share in the energy mix means the portion of energy that comes from gas compared to other sources like coal, oil, or renewable energy. Increasing it means using more gas for energy.
