NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian energy company ONGC Videsh will bid in an upcoming auction to explore and develop gas fields off the coast of Lebanon, India's oil minister said on Monday.
ONGC Videsh, the overseas investment arm of India's top explorer Oil and Natural Gas Corp, is among several companies pre-qualified to bid for offshore exploration and production licenses from the Middle Eastern nation.
Indian oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan, leading a delegation at the World Petroleum Congress in Istanbul, made the comment in a Tweet after meeting with Lebanese Energy and Water Minister Cesar Abou Khalil.
