◆Ministry makes last-ditch efforts to hold back BHP Billiton
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.
