Indian govt reserves right to call for joint development of oil and gas blocks under OALP

The Indian government has reserved the right to call for the joint development of oil and gas fields that are set to be auctioned under the newly unveiled Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP).
According to draft contractor agreement to be signed between a successful bidder and the government, a provision for the joint development of a reservoir has been incorporated to prevent disputes between contractors if respective blocks are awarded to two different developers.
