New Delhi: The petroleum ministry is aiming to restructure and reform itself to enhance its effectiveness as a policymaker for addressing future challenges in the energy sector.
The ministry has sought to appoint a consultant with a wide-ranging mandate to help in “formulating and implementing strategic initiatives and a comprehensive restructuring plan.”
“The goal is to equip the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) to fulfill its strategic vision and achieve its mandate,” the ministry said in a tender document seeking the consultant who is expected to identify “key strategic streams for next two decades aimed at 2047.” India is aiming to become energy-independent by 2047.
The consultant will have to “envision possible future role to be played by MoPNG based on current and evolving responsibilities and recommend an operating model for the to-be organisation including designing the process maps and metrics, workflow and service levels, re-engineering internal and external stakeholder interface, designing optimum organization structure,” the document read.
Presently, the ministry is organised along functions such as exploration, refining, marketing, gas, and international cooperation. It oversees several state-run companies with the overall objective of managing the country’s oil and gas sector and ensuring energy security.
“Delivering and expanding this mandate is challenging for MoPNG as it calls for driving strategic initiatives against rapidly evolving focus areas with new ways of working,” it said.
The petroleum ministry’s record has been mixed in the past decade. While India has made rapid strides on ethanol use in transportation, the goals of cutting oil and gas imports by 10%, boosting oil output, attracting foreign investors in domestic exploration, and raising the share of natural gas in domestic energy use haven’t progressed as much as expected.
The consultant will have to prepare a roadmap after studying energy ministries and agencies in at least three developed and developing countries.
The consultant will “assess current knowledge capacities in the ministry and identify specific skill gaps of re-skilling/induction training in the context of an evolving energy landscape and prepare a roadmap for capacity building.”
“The future of oil and gas in India will involve much more and much faster exploration & production, much more use of gas, many more sources of oil and gas with the long haul of primary energy (crude & gas) and scale-up of refining and strategic storage,” the ministry said. “It will also entail overall energy demand management as well as capability build for dealing with competition in downstream (sector).”
