''Petrowatch'' is an English-language market intelligence newsletter on the Indian oil industry published uninterrupted since February 1997. ''Petrowatch'' has been cited by the BBC, ''The New York Times'',〔 ''The Wall Street Journal'', ''Forbes India'', and the ''Financial Times'' for its coverage of the Indian oil industry, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons, and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board. In addition ''Petrowatch'' has been cited several times by Japanese investment bank Nomura, most recently in its India Gas Report published in February 2015 on Liquefied Natural Gas importer Petronet LNG. == VK Sibal and DGH Controversy == In 2008 the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons, the upstream technical arm of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, complained about ''Petrowatch'' coverage of the NELP-VII licensing round for the auction of 57 exploration blocks where the newsletter said attracting new companies to India would be difficult. In 2009 ''Petrowatch'' was engaged in a dispute with VK Sibal, director general of the DGH, during which Sibal advised Canadian explorer Canoro Resources and other foreign companies interested in the Indian oil industry to unsubscribe from the website immediately. In his letter Sibal said ''Petrowatch'' falsely alleged that there had been a raid by India's Central Bureau of Investigation law enforcement agency on the DGH office and that ''Petrowatch'' was engaged in "crass yellow journalism" and publishing misleading information.〔 In July 2011 Sibal was investigated by the CBI for his alleged favouritism towards Reliance Industries ahead of its $5.69bn development of the KG-D6 gasfield in the Krishna Godavari Basin on India's East Coast. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Petrowatch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
