Can not understand why certain section of our politicians object to there tendering process by CTG? They must realise that the successive political government failed to initiate the deep water drilling in the Bay of Bengal. In fact the previous governments failed to undertake extensive drilling either by pubic sector company or IOcs to expand our reserve base. We have serious crisis of gas in some parts of the country. If we do not satrt our initiative even now then the political government will be in serious mess to manage the energy crisis. We can rely on CTg to accomplish more important tasks but can not rely on them to handle this issue.We have many blocks which are well within our maritime boundary. Some may be in disputed zone. The demarcation of maritime bounadry may still take several years .But our deep water exploration effort may not be kept in abbeyance till that time. How India and myanmar proceeded in their exploration without even bothering to ask us. The efforts of this group will benefit the neighbours > So come to senses and rather see that the bidding process is free and fair and only compeent companies get the blocks. BAPEX and Petrobangla must be integarted at every level.Our Navy our coast guards must be equipped to support our deep water drilling efforts.I feel India and Myanmar will be smart enough not to create any impediments for us in the bay of Bengal.
