India has seen several green shoots of oil finds - Surya Mani (Open Acreage Licensing Policy Round 6) at a depth of 2,323 metres and an estimated potential of 4 million metric tonnes of oil equivalent, Neel Mani (OALP Round 5) at 1,117 metres with 1.2 million metric tonnes of oil equivalant, and another well from OALP Round 3 at 2,865 metre depth has shown oil and gas reserves. "We currently have four wells being drilled at depths of 5,000 metres by ONGC and Oil India Limited. Why didn't this happen earlier?
