India's oil and gas sector has seen significant growth over the past five years, with exploration and production activities increasing by 10–15 percent. Despite the rise of renewable energy, oil and gas remain crucial to the country’s energy infrastructure as India aims to scale up its oil-refining capacity from 252 million metric tonnes per annum to 400 million metric tonnes per annum. However, the sector faces challenges, including remote well sites, logistical difficulties, and limited infrastructure. Additionally, many wells are located near rural villages where local communities may lack awareness of industry activities, leading to concerns about potential risks.
