According to Oil %26amp; Gas Journal (OGJ), India had 5.6 billion barrels of proven oil reserves as of January 2007, the second-largest amount in the Asia-Pacific region (behind China). Much of India鈥檚 crude oil reserves are located off the western coast (Mumbai High) and in the northeast of the country, although substantial undeveloped reserves are located in the offshore Bay of Bengal and in Rajasthan state, Upper Assam, Cambay, Krisha-Godavari, and Cauvery basins. Offshore represented 53% of the Indian crude oil production.
