The
first of our agreements, entered into in February 2003, grants
exploration
rights in an area offshore eastern India. We refer to this as the
“KG
Block” and we have a net 5% carried interest under this agreement.
|
·
|
We
have entered into two agreements which grant exploration rights
in areas
onshore in the Cambay Basin in the State of Gujarat in western
India.
These agreements were entered into with the GOI in February 2004
and we
have a 10% participating interest under each of these agreements.
We refer
to these as the “Mehsana Block” and the “Sanand/Miroli Block.”
|
·
|
In
April 2005, we entered into an agreement with Gujarat State Petroleum
Corporation Limited ("GSPC"), providing for our purchase and the
sale by
GSPC, subject to GOI consent, of a 20% participating interest in
the
agreement granting exploration rights onshore in the Cambay Basin
in the
State of Gujarat. We refer to this as the “Tarapur Block”.
|
·
|
On
September 23, 2005, we signed agreements with respect to two additional
locations. One area in which we hold a 10% participating interest
is
located onshore in the Cambay Basin located in the State of Gujarat
south-east of our three existing Cambay blocks. We refer to this
as the
"Ankleshwar Block". The second area is onshore in the Deccan Syneclise
Basin located in the northern portion of the State of Maharashtra
in
west-central India in which we hold a 100% participating interest.
We
refer to this as the "DS Block".

Risk
Factors
|
Before
investing in our common stock, you should carefully read and consider
the
information set forth in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of this
prospectus.
|
§
|
We
will experience failures to discover oil and gas in commercial
quantities;
|
§
|
There
are uncertainties as to the costs to be incurred in our exploratory
drilling activities, cost overruns are possible and we may encounter
mechanical difficulties and failures in completing
wells;
|
§
|
There
are uncertain costs inherent in drilling into unknown formations,
such as
over-pressured zones, high temperatures and tools lost in the hole;
and
|
§
|
We
may make changes in our drilling plans and locations as a result
of prior
exploratory drilling.
|
§
|
The
venture participants are required to complete certain minimum work
programs during the three phases of the terms of the PSC's. In
the event
the venture participants fail to fulfill any of these minimum work
programs, the parties to the venture must pay to the GOI their
proportionate share of the amount that would be required to complete
the
minimum work program. Accordingly, we could be called upon to pay
our
proportionate share of the estimated costs of any incomplete work
programs;
|
§
|
Until
such time as the GOI attains self sufficiency in the production
of crude
oil and condensate and is able to meet its national demand, the
parties to
the venture are required to sell in the Indian domestic market
their
entitlement under the PSC's to crude oil and condensate produced
from the
exploration blocks. In addition, the Indian domestic market has
the first
call on natural gas produced from the exploration blocks and the
discovery
and production of natural gas must be made in the context of the
government’s policy of utilization of natural gas and take into account
the objectives of the government to develop its resources in the
most
efficient manner and promote conservation measures. Accordingly,
this
provision could interfere with our ability to realize the maximum
price
for our share of production of
hydrocarbons;
|
§
|
The
parties to each agreement that are not Indian companies, which
includes
us, are required to negotiate technical assistance agreements with
the GOI
or its nominee whereby such foreign company can render technical
assistance and make available commercially available technical
information
of a proprietary nature for use in India by the government or its
nominee,
subject, among other things, to confidentiality restrictions. Although
not
intended, this could increase each venture’s and our cost of operations;
and
|
§
|
The
parties to each venture are required to give preference, including
the use
of tender procedures, to the purchase and use of goods manufactured,
produced or supplied in India provided that such goods are available
on
equal or better terms than imported goods, and to employ Indian
subcontractors having the required skills insofar as their services
are
available on comparable standards and at competitive prices and
terms.
Although not intended, this could increase the venture’s and our cost of
operations.

oil and
natural gas in commercial quantities and to realize revenues from
the
sales of those hydrocarbons.

we have an interest.
|
·
|
Our
ability to realize revenues cannot be assured. Our ability to successfully
drill, test and complete producing wells cannot be assured.
|
·
|
We
cannot assure you that we will have available to us the capital
required
to meet our plans and objectives at the times and in the amounts
required
or we will have available the amounts we are required to fund under
the
terms of the PSC we are a party to.
|
·
|
We
cannot assure you that we will be successful in joining any further
ventures seeking to be granted PSC's by the GOI or that we will
be
successful in acquiring interests in existing ventures.
|
·
|
We
cannot assure you that the GOI will consent to the assignment by
GSPC of
the 20% participating interest in the Tarapur Block.
|
·
|
We
cannot assure you that the outcome of testing of one or more wells
on the
KG Block will be satisfactory and result in a commercially-productive
well
or that any further wells drilled on the KG Block will have
commercially-successful results.

a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(ii)
|
to
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective

That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities

each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new

and the

initial
bona fide offering thereof.

any of the

That,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities

filing of our annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)

Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and persons controlling
our company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have
been advised
that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such
liabilities (other than the payment by our company of expenses
incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of our
company in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities
being registered, our company will, unless in the opinion
of our counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by us
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
