Dear Mr. C. Neyim Khan,
Greetings...
You may go through the Factories Act and the Industrial Dispute Act to know the industries which are covered by the Central or State Authority. Accordingly, the Central Government would be the "Appropriate Authority" for the Oil & Gas sector.

Dear Mr. Neyimkhan,
The concept of "Appropriate Government"
The concept of "Appropriate Government" comes into play only when a labor law enacted by the Central Government is to be administered by both the Central Government and the State Governments. Hence, the term "Appropriate Govt" has been defined in various central labor laws viz., (1) the Apprentices Act, 1961, (2) BOCW Act, 1996, (3) Child Labor Act, 1986, (4) CLRA Act 1970, (5) EPF Act, 1952, (6) ESI Act, 1948, (7) Employment Exchanges Act, 1959, (8) ER Act, 1976, (9) ID Act, 1947, (10) IE(SO) Act, 1946, (11) Inter-state Migrant Workmen Act, 1979, (12) MB Act, 1961, (13) MW Act, 1948, (14) PB Act, 1965, (15) PG Act, 1972, (16) PW Act, 1936, and (17) Trade Unions Act, 1926. If I remember correctly, the definition of the term "App Govt" under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, has been adopted by reference in the BOCW Act 1996, CLRA Act 1970, and the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, and all other Acts have definitions of their own.
Appropriate authority for Oil and Gas Private Companies
Regarding your first query about the appropriate authority for Oil and Gas Private Companies, let us first start with the definition of the term under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Since the ID Act is concerned with only the resolution of industrial disputes, in respect of any industrial dispute concerning (1) any industry carried on by or under the authority of the Central Govt. (2) any industry carried on by a Railway Company (3) any controlled industry as specified by the Central Govt. (4) Certain specified Corporations mentioned therein (so far 17 in total) (5) a Banking Company (6) an Insurance Company (7) a mine (8) an Oil-field (9) a Cantonment Board and (10) a Major Port, the Central Govt is the authority and in relation to any other establishments, the State Govt is the authority. Therefore, in respect of the Oil-field owned/run by the Private Company, it is the Central Govt and in respect of its other units like offices, sales centers, storage Facilities, etc., it is the respective State Govts. Since the Contract Labor Act, 1970, adopts the definition of the ID Act, 1947, the position is the same. Similarly, the definition of the term u/s 2(b) specifies the Central Govt as the App. Govt for an oil-field, the minimum wages if any, fixed by the Central Govt would be applicable to the workmen employed in the oil-field and in respect of others, only the State minimum wages would be applicable.
Meaning of "Carried on by or under the authority of the Central Government"
Coming to your second query about the expression "Carried on by or under the authority of the Central Government" found in the definition of the term "App. Govt" in the ID Act, 1947, and the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, respectively, the word "authority" in the phrase should be construed according to its ordinary meaning and therefore it means a legal power given by the Central Govt to another person to act on its behalf. Thus an industry carried on by or under the authority of the Central Govt is a Central Govt industry which may be carried on directly by the Central Govt or by some body or person nominated by the Central Govt for that purpose. This expression, in fact, distinguishes the case of Central Govt. Undertakings registered under the Companies Act, 1956, as they function under the authority of their own constitutions or charter even if their share capital is owned and controlled by the Central Govt.
