		Bill Gammell, chief executive of the Edinburgh oil and gas company, said that while he was seeking partners to develop Cairnâs offshore holdings in eastern India, it would fund the western projects itself.

	Observer \| Cairn builder reaches peak
		Bill Gammell has been dubbed Scotland's JR Ewing after the 1970s star of the soap opera Dallas.
		Gammell is already famous for his political relationships: his childhood friendships with George W. Bush and Tony Blair have attracted far more column inches than Cairn's oil finds, no matter how large.
		Gammell is still rather fond of rugby analogies - 'You have to pick up the ball and run with it', 'I can't score tries unless someone else gives me the ball' - but he no longer plays.

		AS BILL Gammell, chief executive of Cairn Energy watched £500 million wiped off the value of his company’s shares in a single session on December 17, the former rugby international could have been forgiven for reaching for a bottle of his famous “brave pills”.
		Despite Gammell’s reassurances, the market bears sharpened their claws and the punishing sell-off proved once more that the cardinal sin any chief executive can commit is to deliver unexpected bad news to a market that has been in thrall with the stock for most of the year.
		Gammell’s star was in the ascendant from January when Cairn first announced news of a “company-making” one billion barrel oil field in Rajasthan in northwest India.

		Mr Gammell, a youthful 52-year-old and former Scots international rugby player, says the comment was welcome as the northern province, with Delhi as its capital, together with the local people, has really "got into the blood" of Cairnâs exploration team.
		Cairn is led by chief executive Bill Gammell, whose aim is to capture as high an equity position as possible in this area of India, whilst maintaining that vital competitive edge to stand out from the crowd.
		Mr Gammell and his executive team have focused for the past decade on exploration and development activities in south Asia, and Cairnâs ongoing close partnership with Indiaâs largest oil and gas company - the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation - remains the envy of the sector.

	'Rajasthan oil find looked like West Texas'
		Cairn CEO Bill Gammell told rediff.com in an exclusive interview from his Edinburgh headquarters that the find could amount to as much as 1.1 billion barrels, out of which 30 per cent might be recoverable.
		Gammell, who has personal association with the Texas oil industry and US President George Bush, has been something of a lone voice in the oil exploration industry for his consistently articulated views that India is one of the most under valued oil producing countries in the world.
		Gammell explained that his company's relationship with Rajasthan dates back to 1997 when Cairn bought out Shell in Bangladesh and acquired a share of the Rajsathan field as part of the same deal.

	Cairn claims huge oil find in Rajasthan
		Chief executive Bill Gammell added, "Whilst further evaluation and appraisal is required, I am confident that this discovery in isolation has the potential to transform the value of Cairn's portfolio."
		The discovery is seen as a big personal boost for Gammell, Cairn's CEO and a personal friend of President Bush, who has focussed his company's core activities in India.
		At that time Gammell had said, "Cairn is progressing its intensive operational campaign in Rajasthan. Although ten out of the fourteen wells drilled to date have encountered hydrocarbons, a significant amount of additional drilling and evaluation work still needs to be undertaken to properly evaluate this 5,000 square kilometre area.
