Welche Agentur erkundet Öl und Gas im Mannar- und Cauvery-Becken?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>model
The exploration of oil and gas in the Mannar Basin, which lies off the northwest coast of Sri Lanka, and the Cauvery Basin, located between India and Sri Lanka, involves different entities:

In the Mannar Basin (Sri Lanka): The exploration activities are primarily led by the Sri Lankan government through its state-owned entity, the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC). The government may also grant exploration rights to international oil companies through bidding rounds. For instance, Cairn India, a subsidiary of Vedanta Resources, was involved in exploration activities in the Mannar Basin in the past.

In the Cauvery Basin (India): The exploration and production activities in the Cauvery Basin in India are primarily undertaken by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), which is a state-owned enterprise. Additionally, private and foreign companies may also be involved in exploration activities in this region through various contracts and agreements with the Indian government.

These activities are subject to the regulatory frameworks and policies of the respective countries, and international agreements in cases where the basins are shared between countries.<end_of_turn><eos>
