The history of petroleum exploration in Morang started from 2045 when it is known that the petroleum products are found here. In 1989, a Netherlands-based company had been contracted to dig for oil in Bahune. The company abandoned drilling after going to a depth of 3,520 metres.Texana won the bid for Blocks 3 and 5 (in Banke and Chitwan) and entered into an agreement with the government in December 1998.Six years later, the country’s petroleum exploration bid was further bolstered when Cairn received a license to explore five more blocks -- Blocks 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 (Dhangadhi, Karnali, Lumbini, Birgunj and Malangawa respectively). However, with the political situation worsening (the Maoist conflict being the prime reason), both Texana and Cairn were forced to remain inactive till around 2009. The slow progress on the exploration front has provoked the Ministry of Industry to issue strongly worded warnings, and it has even been considering terminating the permits held by the four oil companies. The locals have said that the neighboring country, India too pressurized the country to halt the exploration of fuels in Morang.
