September 22 , 2025 8 days 73 0
  • The International Energy Agency (IEA) warned that global oil and gas fields are depleting faster than before.
  • India, which imports over 85 per cent of its crude and 45 per cent of its gas, is especially vulnerable.
  • Nearly 90 per cent of upstream oil and gas investment is now used to offset natural decline in existing fields.
  • Without new investment, global oil output could fall by 5.5 million barrels per day each year.
  • Shale and offshore fields decline fastest, with output dropping over 35 per cent in the first year.
  • The IEA urged India to diversify sources, expand domestic exploration, and adopt clean alternatives.
  • New oil and gas projects take nearly 20 years from licensing to production, raising long-term risks.
