The correct answer is Imperial Energy. Imperial Energy is an oil exploration and production company with assets primarily located in Siberia, Russia.
ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL), the overseas arm of the Indian state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), acquired Imperial Energy Plc in January 2009. This acquisition gave OVL significant oil and gas assets in Siberia.
Other options: Venture Production was a UK-based company acquired by Centrica. Regal Petroleum is an oil and gas company focused on Ukraine. Enterprise Oil was a UK-based company acquired by Shell. None of these were operating extensively in Siberia under ONGC ownership.
