Sakhalin-1: Past, Present, and Future Valuation Outlook (2015–2045)

1. Introduction The Sakhalin-1 oil and gas project has been at the heart of Russia’s energy diplomacy for decades. Located off the coast of Sakhalin Island in Russia’s Far East, it has drawn investments from global giants such as ExxonMobil (30%) , Rosneft , ONGC Videsh (20%) , and Japan’s SODECO . Recent geopolitical events, sanctions, and Russia’s decrees have reshaped the ownership and future prospects of the project. In August 2025, President Vladimir Putin signed a decree allowing foreign investors, including Exxon, to potentially regain stakes under specific conditions. citeturn0search2 This blog presents an illustrative valuation journey of Sakhalin-1 over the past 10 years (2015–2025) and projections for the next 20 years (2026–2045), including three forward-looking scenarios. 2.

India's Stake in Sakhalin-1: Opportunity After Putin's New Decree

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a new decree that could allow foreign investors, including ExxonMobil , to regain their stakes in the Sakhalin-1 oil and gas project. The announcement came on the same day Putin met Donald Trump in Alaska for a summit discussing investment, business collaboration, and peace in Ukraine . This move is a follow-up to Putin’s October 2022 decree , which ordered the seizure of Sakhalin-1 and transferred control to a Rosneft subsidiary . At that time, ExxonMobil exited with a $4.6 billion write-off, making it the only non-Russian investor to fully quit the project. 🔎 What Does the New Decree Mean? The decree establishes a legal framework for foreign investors to reapply for ownership rights in Sakhalin-1. Conditions include: Supporting efforts to lift Western sanctions . Supplying foreign-made equipment necessary for the project. Transferring funds into Sakhalin-1 project accounts. This is a significant policy shift,...

ONGC: facts double-checked (as of Aug 28, 2025)

Production share (India): Many outlets still cite ONGC at “~70% of oil and ~84% of gas.” That’s a widely repeated stat; Oilprice summarized it again last week. Use it as indicative, not exact, since field declines and restarts can shift the mix year to year. ( OilPrice.com ) Mumbai High/BP technical services : ONGC has engaged BP to lift output at Mumbai High; guidance has ranged from “up to 60%” in total output to specific targets like +44% oil and +89% gas with visibility into FY2027–FY2028 . Treat the higher end as ambition and the 2027–28 window as the realistic milestone band. ( Reuters ) New refinery (Jamnagar): ONGC is studying a 200–240 kbpd greenfield refinery at Jamnagar; this is at pre-feasibility , not an approved project yet. Watch for an FID before you underwrite it into numbers. ( Reuters ) Trading unit (group-level): ONGC is setting up a trading unit to centralize crude & refined products across ONGC/MRPL/HPCL — the group handles ~ 100 MMT of o...

📈 Smart Portfolio Strategy: When to Sell, Hold, or Buy More

Managing a stock portfolio is not just about picking winners—it’s also about knowing when to exit, when to hold, and when to accumulate more . Below is a structured approach with detailed logic, entry/exit flags, and examples applied to your current portfolio. 🔎 Key Decision Framework 🚫 1. Sell Flags (Exit Strategy) Exit when: Company fundamentals are broken (e.g., mounting debt, no turnaround plan). Stock is consistently destroying wealth (long-term negative CAGR). Better opportunities exist for capital allocation. Regulatory or sector headwinds are permanent. Examples in your portfolio: Alok Industries , Idea , SpiceJet , Vikas Prop , Uniply , Tarsons → Highly leveraged, poor earnings visibility, and weak industry outlook. 📌 Exit Flag: Consistent negative quarterly results, rising debt-to-equity, auditor concerns, or stock trading at penny levels without recovery drivers. 🤝 2. Hold Flags (Stay Invested) Hold when: Company is fundamentally strong...
