New Delhi, Oct. 28: The Petroleum & Natural Gas Ministry will invite BHP Billiton, which recently surrendered nine oil and gas exploratory fields it won at auctions citing regulatory trouble, for a meeting next week to discuss the issue.
A senior Petroleum Ministry official said the Ministry would try to convince the world's largest miner to change its decision.
"Though there is not much that can be done once a contractor decides to relinquish the block, the least the Ministry can do is to convince them (to change their decision). We have called them for a meeting next week," said the official, who requested anonymity.
