In addition, the company's subsidiary Reliance Marcellus LLC executed definitive agreements to enter into a joint venture with United States based Atlas Energy, Inc, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania under which Reliance will acquire a 40% interest in Atlas' core Marcellus Shale acreage position. In June 2010, the company entered into an agreement to acquire a substantial stake in Infotel Broadband Services (P) Limited, which emerged as a successful bidder in all the 22 circles of the auction for Broad band Wireless Access (BWA) Spectrum conducted by the DOT. The company sees the broadband opportunity as a new frontier of knowledge economy in which it can take a leadership position and provide India with an opportunity to being forefront among the countries providing world-class 4G network and services.

Overview

 

The Mantra of Value Creation During the past one year, Reliance  Industries  Limited (RIL) has commissioned two of the largest projects of global  scale  in   the  energy  sector.  This  was  achieved  in  a  period  defined   by  significantly high capital costs, global shortage of financial capital  and  a resource constraint for large scale projects. The commissioning of  these  projects  has  created several milestones in RIL's  corporate  history.  As always,  RIL  shareholders will be the first to reap the  benefits  of  the  commissioning  of the oil and gas, and petroleum refining  facilities.  The issuance   of   bonus  shares  continues  RIL's  tradition   of   rewarding shareholders  on  a  consistent  basis. RIL  continued  to  receive  global acknowledgement  for  its  achievements during the year.  The  Company  was recently rated by the Boston Consulting Group as the fifth most sustainable

value  creator  globally.  The  rating also  recognises  that  RIL's  value creation is balanced and well-distributed among all the stakeholders of the Company.  Also,  RIL is the only Indian company in the list of the  top  25 companies in the world.

 

For the fifth consecutive year, RIL has featured in the Fortune Global  500 list of the world's largest corporations.

 

RIL's current rankings are as follows:

 

* 264 based on Sales

 

* 117 based on Profits

 

Other achievements include:

 

*  RIL, ranked at the 11th position, was the only Indian company in the  25 A.T. Kearney Global Champions for 2009.

 

*  The Exploration and Production (E and P) division won the Best  Project  of the  Year  2009'  award  for  KG-D6  Block  Deepwater  (D1/D3)  Gas  Fields Development  Project  Kakinada,  East  coast  of  India  from  the  Project

Management Institute, India in 2009.

 

Successful Project Execution and Commissioning - RIL in the elite group  of global deepwater oil and gas operators RIL began gas production within  six and a half years of gas discovery, in comparison to the world average of 9-10  years  for  similar deepwater  production  facilities.  Continuous  gas production for about a year, with 100% uptime, once again demonstrates  the Company's flawless commissioning and execution capabilities.

 

Key highlights of the KG-D6 project were as follows:

 

* World's largest gas discovery in 2002

 

*  Among  the  world's largest and most complex  deepwater  gas  production facility in the world

 

* Tie Back of 60 kms

 

* Transforming India's energy landscape

 

* Capacity of 550,000 Barrels of Oil Equivalent Per Day (BOEPD)

 

*  Equivalent of 40% of India's current oil and gas production and has  the potential to more than double India's gas production

 

* Among the fastest deepwater field development projects

 

*  Among  the lowest Finding and Development (F and D) cost per BOE  for  similar deepwater projects

 

* Global-scale project management; simultaneous execution in 20 locations

 

* Among the largest marine construction spread

 

* Equipment weighing 125,000 Metric Tonnes (MT) installed offshore

 

*  500  line kms of pipelines and umbilicals installed  Presently,  RIL  is producing  approximately  60 Million Metric Standard Cubic Meters  Per  Day (MMSCMD)  of  gas  which  is being supplied  to  several  priority  sectors identified by the Government of India under its gas utilisation policy.

 

Since production commenced in April 2009, the field has produced over  14.5 billion  cubic metres of gas, contributing significantly to  the  country's critical industrial sectors.

 

RIL is enhancing India's  energy  landscape.

 

Production   from the Dhirubhai 1 and 3 discoveries of the KG-D6  block  is likely  to  result  in  a quantum leap  towards  achieving  India's  energy security  as  it  has the potential to account for  40%  of  the  country's current hydrocarbon production.

 

The gas supply from the KG-D6 facility has already impacted various aspects of the country's economy including:

 

* The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) has acknowledged the significant contribution of production from KG-D6 in the double digit growth registered by the mining sector.

 

* With increased availability of gas, production of indigenous  fertilisers has  increased  and the cost of production reduced,  thereby  resulting  in savings of about Rs. 40000 Millions p.a. in Government subsidies.

 

*  There  has  been a significant improvement of  30%  in  gas-based  power generation in the country during the year.

 

*  Production of natural gas from KG-D6 has also reduced the dependence  on more expensive liquid fuels that were being used in the steel, refining and petrochemicals sectors.

 

Within  a month of emerging as the largest producer of natural gas  in  the country,  RIL announced a successful assessment of the design  capacity  of the KG-D6 deepwater gas production facilities in December 2009. A flow rate of 80 MMSCM was achieved through the KG-D6 facilities and delivered to  the East-West pipeline.

 

High Quality Portfolio

 

RIL's  upstream oil and gas strategy is to identify, evaluate  and  capture the highest quality resource opportunities at the most competitive cost  in the  industry. The strength of the balance sheet and the Company’s recent experience in deepwater exploration and drilling allows RIL to explore for incremental resource types regardless of life-cycle. This is done across geological and geographical plays  using  cutting-edge  technology   and capabilities through partnerships with leading global players.  Incremental resource  types include unconventional resources such as shale  gas,  tight gas,  Coal-Bed  Methane  (CBM), heavy oil and oil sands  that  can  provide profitable,  long  plateau production systems in addition  to  conventional offshore resources.

 

RIL's  upstream  approach  is oriented towards ensuring  greater  value  by sustained  production growth and an accelerated development of  discoveries already  made.  This is achieved through ongoing excellence in project execution and capital efficiency.

 

Jamnagar-Global Petroleum Refining Hub With the commissioning of the new refinery in its Special Economic Zone (SEZ), Jamnagar has now  become  the petroleum  hub  of the world. With 1.24 Million Barrels Per Day (MBPD)  of nominal  crude  processing  capacity, it is  the  single  largest  refining complex in the world. This is equivalent to 1.6% of global capacity or one third of India’s capacity, and places RIL amongst the top  ten  private refiners globally.

 

The second refinery, of larger scale and complexity, was commissioned in  a record time of 36 months despite the fact that it had to be executed  under the most-challenging conditions of scarce availability of project execution

resources  due to overheated market conditions from 2005 to 2008.  Building two  of the largest and most complex refineries at the same location, in  a decade, is unique in the world of global refining.

 

The  SEZ  refinery  achieved a flawless start, and the  entire  complex  at Jamnagar  was synchronised in record time. All the processing units of  the SEZ refinery were successfully commissioned and the facility operated in  a

stable  manner. It achieved peak capacity utilisation rate of 120% during the year.

 

The  new  refinery  has been designed to be more complex  and  flexible  as compared  to the first refinery. This enables the new refinery  to  capture more  opportunities in value upgradation-from the  bottom-of-the-barrel  to

highly value added products. The new refinery has the world's largest Coker and  Fluid  Catalytic Cracker (FCC) plants. In addition, it  also  has  the world's largest alkylation unit.

 

Continuing Success in Exploration and Production

 

This  was yet another successful period for RIL's oil and  gas  exploration and  production  business. The first oil discovery was made in  the  onland exploratory  block CB- ONN-2003/1 (CB 10 A and B) in the Cambay  basin  awarded under the NELP-V round of exploration bidding. RIL holds 100% Participating Interest  (PI) in this block. The discovery, named Dhirubhai-43' has  been notified with the Government of India.

 

The Company also made its third successive gas discovery in the exploration block KG-DWN-2003/1 (KGV- D3) of NELP-V. The deepwater block  KG-DWN-2003/1 is  located in the Krishna basin, about 45 kms off the coast in the Bay  of Bengal.  The block covers an area of 3,288 sq. kms. RIL holds a 90%  PI  in the  block.  The well KGV-D3-R1, the third in this block was drilled  at  a water depth of 1,982 metres and to a total measured depth of 4,113  metres. This discovery, named Dhirubhai-44' has been notified with the  Government of India.

Business Review

 

Oil and Gas Exploration and Production

 

The  economic crisis left an impact on the oil and gas  industry  globally. The  economic  downturn  that followed  resulted  in  unprecedented  demand destruction.  The industry is on a path of recovery due to fiscal  measures announced  by various governments. The major deepwater basins of the  world namely the East coast of India, Gulf of Mexico, Africa and Brazil  continue to witness huge levels of activity and investment.

 

The  structural  theme  for investment in the  sector  remains  valid.  The world's  insatiable  need for reliable and affordable energy  continues  to grow unabated. This calls for substantial investments, access to  resources and newer technologies to unlock resources from challenging locations.  The International  Energy  Agency  (IEA), in its  World  Energy  Outlook  2009, estimates  that  by  the year 2030, global energy  demand  is  expected  to increase by 49% from its current level. Oil and natural gas are expected to remain  primary energy sources and are expected to meet 51% of  the  global demand. Natural gas, a low-carbon, lowpolluting green fuel-that flows  from RIL's   blocks,   is  creating  unprecedented  value  for   the   Company's shareholders  and benefiting India. Increasing concern for  climate  change augurs  well for natural gas as it is an environmentally benign  fuel  with carbon emissions far lower than other fossil fuels.

 

IEA  estimates  that  the world requires investments to the tune  of  $  11 trillion  in  the  oil and gas sector over the next 20  years  implying  an annual investment of over $ 500 billion.

 

FY 2009-10 was a year of steady growth. Oil prices rose from an average  of $  46/barrel  (bbl)  in January 2009 to touch $ 75/bbl  in  December  2009. Average WTI prices remained at $ 70/bbl vis-a-vis $86/bbl for the  previous

year.  Henry Hub natural gas price averaged at $ 4/Million  Metric  British Thermal  Unit (MMBTU) for FY 2009-10 as against an average of $  7.87/MMBTU in FY 2008-09.

 

The year 2009 also saw the global oil demand slip to 84.93 MBPD, a decrease of  1.5%  over  2008. IEA forecasts that the global oil demand  is  set  to increase by 1.67 MBPD or 2.0% to 86.60 MBPD in 2010.

 

Global Natural Gas Market Growing

 

Globally,  natural gas constitutes 24% of the energy basket while in  India it  accounts  for  a  mere  9%. The low share  of  gas  in  India's  energy consumption   is   attributed   to   limited   availability   and   nascent infrastructure. Gas accounts for 35% of the energy mix in the former Soviet Union and Europe, 26% in USA, 17% in Japan and 15% in Korea.

 

The share of gas in the energy mix is expected to increase to nearly 23% in 2031-32  mainly  due to the increasing demand from the  industrial  sector, power  sector, gas distribution in cities and opportunities in the  gas-to-liquids business.

 

Sizeable  investments  globally over the last few years in  developing  the natural gas business and related logistical  capabilities have resulted  in increased availability of gas in key markets. As in the case of crude  oil, the  natural  gas industry is beginning to see the advent  of  short  term, medium  term  and long term contracts reflecting  increased  transportation capabilities  and  price  fungibility. Regional variations  in  prices  are driven primarily out of differentiated transportation costs.

 

Energy Landscape in India Set for Change

 

The  Indian economy has been growing steadily in the range of 8-9%  in  the recent past (6.7% in FY 2008-09) and is expected to maintain its status  as one  of  the  fastest  growing economies in the world with  long  term  GDP growth estimated to be around 9%. Driven by strong economic growth,  energy consumption  in  India has been growing at a CAGR of around 5.3%  over  the last two decades.

 

India's per capita energy consumption is 383 Kg of Oil Equivalent (KGOE) as against  the  world average of 1,737 KGOE, which  indicates  a  significant potential for growth in the demand for energy. As per the Integrated Energy

Policy of the Planning Commission, Government of India, India's energy need is  expected  to grow four-fold from 433 Million Tonnes of  Oil  Equivalent (MTOE)  to  around 1,856 MTOE by 2032. However, India  depends  largely  on imports with over 75% of oil and 16% of gas consumption being imported.

 

The East coast of India covers a vast stretch of sedimentary area of  about 2  million sq. kms. The coast has been divided into three major  geological provinces  viz.  the  Mahanadi basin, the Krishna-Godavari  basin  and  the

Cauvery-Palar basin.

 

RIL has more than 25 blocks in the East coast of India with exploration  at different  stages of maturity. Several discoveries have taken place in  all the  three basins and a large number of prospects have been identified  for drilling. With drilling success ratio of 54%, RIL's drilling campaign is to target these basins.

 

Gas  production from KG-D6 was started in a record time of six and  a  half years. The production from this block is expected to provide a quantum leap in energy security to the country. The Krishna-Godavari basin find has been one  of  the most important development catalyst to  various  sectors  like power, fertilisers, petrochemicals, refineries, gas distribution in cities, etc thereby ensuring energy and food security for the country.

 

The natural gas sector in the country is evolving and becoming  competitive due  to  the  Government's proactive regulatory approach  with  respect  to policies  in upstream, midstream and downstream. This has led  to  enhanced investments by various players and the emergence of competitive markets.

 

RIL's E and P Business : KG-D6

 

KG-D6  completed 365 days of 100% uptime and zeroincident  production.  Gas production  from  KG-D6  has ramped up to 60 MMSCMD in a short  span  of  9 months from commencement. Current production of about 60 MMSCMD is from  16 wells. The design capacity of the KG-D6 deepwater gas production facilities were  assessed  and achieved a flow rate of 80 MMSCM.  During  FY  2009-10, total gas production was 14,397 MMSCM.

 

Six  wells  from the D26 oil field in the block are under  production.  Gas produced  from the D26 field was exported to the Onshore Terminal  (OT)  in the months of November 2009, December 2009 and February 2010.

 

Oil  production  from  the D26 field now exceeds 35,000  barrels  per  day. During  the  FY  2009-10, total oil production from  this  field  was  4.04 million barrels.

 

The facility has undergone extensive quality assurance and quality  control audits  with the support of international experts like Det  Norske  Veritas (DNV), Ward Associates and Shell Global Solutions. The pipeline network was

put through nitrogen helium tests for leak tests and pressure points.  More than 1,000 punch points were addressed within six months, eliminating  risk factors. Fatigue tests were also carried out on installed infrastructure to ensure their ability to support the planned 25-year lifespan of the  field. The  entire  development  was  put  through  stringent  quality  checks  in compliance  with the applicable standards, and organisational  and  project policies. DNV has carried out certification and verification of all  works. DNV reviewed and verified engineering, fabrication and installation of  all offshore  facilities.  DNV also carried out the Hazard  Identification  and Hazard  and Operational Study through the different stages of the  project. Other  independent  surveyors have included Lloyd's  Register  and  Moody's International.  Extensive and intensive checks were done on all  equipment, which  included Factory Acceptance Test, Extended Factory Acceptance  Test, Systems  Integrity  Test and Site Acceptance Test  prior  to  installation. Multiple  levels  of inspection were undertaken by  manufacturer's  Quality Control (QC) team, RIL's QC team and third party QC teams to ensure nothing was  left  to  chance. For the purpose of gas marketing,  GSPAs  have  been executed  with  more than 50 customers in the fertiliser, power,  city  gas distribution, steel, LPG, refinery and petrochemical sectors.

 

As  part of appraisal activities of 4 discoveries in the southern  part  of the KG-D6 block, RIL successfully drilled 4 appraisal wells in FY  2009-10. The commerciality of these discoveries has been submitted.

 

In  the KG-D6 block, further to the submission of the development  plan  in 2008 for the 9 satellite gas discoveries, an optimised development plan for prioritising  4 satellite gas discoveries was submitted to the  Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) in December 2009.

 

An  integrated development plan for all gas discoveries in the block  KG-D6 is  being  conceptualised  to maximise capital  efficiency  and  accelerate monetisation.

 

Global Industry Overview

 

The  world  oil demand in 2009 stood at 84.9 MBPD, a decline of  1.28  MBPD over 2008. As per the IEA, OECD demand in 2009 for oil fell by 4.4% to 45.5 MBPD on a y-o-y basis while the non-OECD demand rose by 2.1% to 39.5  MBPD. In January 2009, IEA had forecast world oil demand to contract by 0.51 MBPD to 85.3 MBPD whereas the actual decline was 1.28 MBPD.

 

OPEC  responded and targeted a compliance of 80-85% to the  production  cut levels. However, some countries increased their production towards the  end of the year resulting in the compliance level dropping to 55% by the end of the year.

 

The  world witnessed low levels of industrial production and global  trade. The  economic  downturn reduced light product demand and resulted  in  high light  product stocks which have weighed on margins. Strategic  stockpiling

of crude by China, as well as companies playing the contango trade resulted in a recovery in crude demand and prices.

 

Performance Review

 

The  consolidation  of Reliance Petroleum Limited's  refining  assets  with RIL's  existing  refinery in Jamnagar gives RIL a capacity  of  1.24  MBPD, which is about 1.6% of the world's refining capacity.

 

What set RIL apart in the context of global refining is the complexity  and  he scale of its refineries. The two Jamnagar refineries that RIL  operates are not only among the largest in the world, but also are the most complex, with  an  average  complexity of more than 12.0 on  the  Nelson  Complexity Index.  Following the merger, RIL now owns 25% of the world's most  complex refining  capacity  and has become the world's largest producer  of  ultra-clean fuels at a single location.

 

To  support  India's  strong  growth with a  drop  in  global  demand,  RIL surrendered the Export Orientated Unit (EOU) status for its 660,000 barrels per day refinery. This has maintained high utilisation.

 

Since inception a decade ago, RIL has been able to outperform the benchmark Singapore complex refining margin. Margins have been comparable with  other complex refiners globally and significantly higher than refiners in  China, where margins are regulated by the Government.

 

There  are two ways in which RIL has been able to outperform the  benchmark index.  The  complexity of the Jamnagar refineries allows  the  Company  to process  heavy  and sour crude from all over the globe  reducing  its  feed  costs. RIL also has the ability to place products in the markets of Europe, Asia and USA to generate the best margins.

 

RIL  processed  60.9  million  tonnes  of  crude  and  clocked  an  average utilisation  of  98.3%, significantly higher than the  average  utilisation rates  for refineries globally. Exports of refined products were at $  20.9 billion.  This accounted for 32.8 million tonnes of product as compared  to 22.6 million tonnes in the previous year.

of   FCC   catalysts  and  additives,  along  with   the   state-of-the-art laboratory/analytical  facilities for advanced crude characterization,  NMR /Infrared Spectroscopy, Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) analyzer etc.

 

R and T  has  been  making extensive use of various  advanced  techniques  like simulation,  mathematical  modeling,  Computational  Fluid  Dynamics  (CFD) modelling, and many others to support refining operations, improve  product quality, optimise yield of high value products like  propylene/LPG/gasoline from  FCC  unit  and enhance bottom-of-the-barrel  processing.  Further  to improve refinery margin, R and T has developed technology for processing  heavy and high TAN opportunity crudes.

 

RIL's SEZ Refinery

 

RIL commissioned its new refinery in the SEZ at Jamnagar. This refinery has the  capacity to process 580,000 barrels of crude oil per stream  day.  The facility   also  has  the  capacity  to  produce  0.9  million  tonnes   of

polypropylene  per  annum.  The new refinery is the sixth  largest  in  the  world and has a Nelson Complexity Index of 14.0, making amnagar the largest and most complex refinery site in the world. This refinery has more than 40 process  units apart from a large network of offsites, utilities and  other Infrastructure facilities.

 

The  SEZ refinery has a unique design and path breaking configuration  with Clean Fuels' process plant. It is designed with high level of  flexibility to  change grades based on economy and to capture margins based  on  market dynamics.  The new SEZ refinery is the first refinery in India  to  produce Euro-IV  grades of gasoline and diesel. The refinery has been the first  in India  to produce large number of US grade gasoline such as R-BOB, RFG,  US conventional,  95  Oxy-free and Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (10  PPM  Sulphur) which are being supplied to the US and European markets.

 

The new refinery has some of the world's largest units:

 

* FCC with Rx Cat technology for maximum propylene production

 

* Coker - with most advance safety features.

 

* Alkylation plant (based on Sulphuric acid technology)

 

* Light Cycle Oil (LCO) hydrocracker

 

The  refinery complex is designed for total water conservation. It has  its own desalination plant and carries out complete recycling of effluent  with zero  discharge.  It  has a state-of-the-art  centralised  control  centre, laboratory,  fire station and a large green belt. The green belt  has  been developed across the boundary of the refinery and has got 2.3 million trees and 0.8 million mangroves. It has over 1 million mango trees - probably the

largest mango plantation in Asia.

 

It has been an exemplary, historical and a flawless start-up of a chain  of plants  in a safe, secure and an incident free manner. The activities  were carried  out in a seamless manner such that not even a single day was  lost

between  construction  completion and commissioning of  the  refinery.  All units were commissioned in shortest possible time schedule in spite of  the tight interdependencies between various units.

 

The  refinery  attained a significant milestone by  fully  stabilizing  the operations  in  a  record time. All its  process  units  have  successfully demonstrated  their ability to operate smoothly and safely, producing  high quality transportation fuels. All key processing units at the refinery  are operating  at  their peak design capacity. The  refinery  has  successfully processed more than 60 types of crude oils, including difficult crude  oils within  a few months of its start-up, thus reflecting superior  quality  of assets and capabilities.

 

Viewed  in  the  context  of  market  conditions,  this  is  a  significant achievement  and reflects RIL's ability to produce and place high  quality, value-added products in a challenging market environment.

 

Domestic Petroleum Marketing

 

Consistent high rate of growth over the past few years resulted in  deficit of  key  petroleum products in the country. With  planned  introduction  of Euro-III  and  Euro-IV grade of transportation fuels,  these  deficits  are likely to increase going forward. RIL decided to convert its refinery  from EOU  to  Domestic  Tariff Area (DTA) to meet these  domestic  deficits  and commenced supplies to PSU oil companies from May 2009.

 

With  softening  of  crude  and product prices  last  year,  RIL  restarted domestic  petroleum  retail  operations in  southern  and  western  states. Domestic retail marketing however continues to suffer due to lack of  level playing  field to private oil marketing companies. Hence operations in  all geographies and scaling up of sales would only be possible once prices  are market determined or level playing field is brought for private players  as well.

 

In  February 2010, the Kirit Parikh committee made recommendations  to  the Government  to allow free market  pricing for gasoline and diesel,  and  to raise  administered  prices  for kerosene and LPG.  The  report  recommends raising  LPG  prices by Rs. 100 per cylinder and at least Rs.  6/litre  for kerosene. It is yet to be seen whether any of these suggestions will be put into practice and what affect that will have on petroleum product demand in India.  Any  positive  step  by the Government along  the  lines  of  these recommendations will give a positive thrust to RIL's retail business.

 

Aviation  Turbine  Fuel  (ATF) demand has seen some  stabilisation  with  a growth of 3.9% in FY 2009-10 as against negative growth of 1.9% in FY 2008-09.  RIL is present at 24 airports in India which collectively account  for 30%  of  total  ATF demand in the country. RIL is  seeking  to  expand  its network  aggressively to have its presence at 30 airports which will  cater to 95% of total civilian air traffic demand.

 

The  demand for petcoke in India is presently about 8 million  tonnes  p.a. with Gujarat and Rajasthan accounting for about 75% of the domestic demand. Current  demand in the country exceeds overall production capacity  despite the  commissioning of the Coker at the new refinery in Jamnagar. During  FY 2009-10,  RIL  sold  a total of 5.34 million tonnes of  petcoke.  With  the commissioning  of  new  capacities in the cement industry as  well  as  the setting  up of captive power plants by several major industrial units,  the demand for petcoke is set to increase.

 

The  annual  sulphur  demand of 3.4 million tonnes in  India  is  met  from domestic  production  as well as imports. RIL Jamnagar production  of  0.85 million  tonnes  in  FY  2009-10 was  sold  primarily  in  domestic  market supplemented  by  some exports. The fertilizer sector consumes  sulphur  in various  forms  and  the  demand for  elemental  sulphur  in  this  sector, particularly  from Single Super Phosphates (SSP) is likely to increase  due to  the  encouraging Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) policy announced  by  the Government  that  has  introduced  subsidy for sulphur  as  a  nutrient  in fertilizers to improve the sulphur deficiency in the soil.

 

GAPCO

 

RIL  consolidated the operations of its GAPCO subsidiaries in East  Africa. GAPCO  owns  and  operates  large  storage  facilities  and  has  a  retail distribution  network in several  countries including Tanzania, Uganda  and Kenya.  It  owns  and operates large coastal storage  terminals  in  Dar-e- Salaam  (Tanzania),  Mombasa  (Kenya) and an inland   terminal  at  Kampala (Uganda)  besides having well located depots in East Africa. It also has  a well located network of retail outlets in Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda.

 

Special initiatives to improve the supply infrastructure and sales  volumes have  led  to  superior productivity and higher  throughputs.  The  Mombasa terminal  has  been augmented to receive Premium Motor Spirit  (PMS),  thus enabling  GAPCO Kenya to make a combined diesel and petrol offering to  the retail and independent sectors in Kenya.

 

GAPCO is also emerging as a key supplier to neighbouring countries and  has signed  a  term  contract  for supplies to  Zambia  from  its  Dar-e-Salaam terminal in Tanzania.

WEBSITE DETAILS

 

The company is India's largest private sector enterprise and is a major player in the Indian petrochemicals sector. Its operations capture value addition at every stage from producing crude oil and gas to polyester and polymer products and are vertically integrated to the production of textiles. Reliance has one of the largest marketing networks in Indian industry. All its brands are market leaders

 

The originally envisaged capacity was substantially enhanced while implementing the project and it commissioned its 27 mmtpa refinery (540000 ballers per day) within a very short period of less then 36 months at a project cost of Rs.142500 millions (US $ 3.4 bn). The company is the world's largest grassroots refinery and the seventh largest refinery in the world at any single site. The refinery has been set up at 30%-50% lower per tone capital cost as competed to other refineries recently set up in Asia, by leading international oil companies, establishing new benchmark for capital productivity. It also has a remarkable ability to use almost any kind of crude oil. The company's products have been exported to a large number of destinations in the Far East, Europe and the USA, including to Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, China, Greece and Italy. This reflects the fact that the company's products meet the most stringent international environment and quality specifications. In line with the governments oil sector policies, the company is currently selling the five controlled products, namely, LPG, Gasoline, Aviation Fuel, Kerosene and Diesel, to the public sector oil companies, IOC, HPCL and BPCL to the extent required by the Government. The Oil Coordination Committee determines the price realization for the company's controlled products, based on the principle of import parity the company has already applied for marketing rights for the controlled products, as it meets all the criteria specified in this regard by the Government, as per the Gazette Notification of November 1997. As soon as the marketing of controlled products is decontrolled, the company will make appropriate arrangements for the same. The company is also making investments in pipeline projects, to facilitate distribution of petroleum products across the country, in a seamless and cost-efficient manner. The company holds a 13% stake in Petronet V.K. Limited, which owns the 113-km, long Vadinar-Kandla pipeline. This pipeline links the company’s refinery to the Kandla-Bhatinda pipeline, providing access to the high growth north and north-west markets.

 

The setting up of the Central India pipeline project, which envisages setting up a 1615-km pipeline to serve the landlocked markets in central India, has been approved by the government. The company will hold a 26% stake in the joint venture implementing this project. The company will also hold a 10% stake in Petronet India Limited, the holding company set up for the creation of pipeline infrastructure for evacuations of petroleum products all over India.

 

The company has passed a resolution to sponsor a depository receipt Programme enabling shareholders of the company (Reliance Industries) to partially disinvest their equity shareholding in the company at an appropriate time in the course of an international offering in one or more trances to strategic investors, financial investors and any other investor in the form of depository receipts and any other financial instruments subject to necessary approvals.

 

The company will focus on its high value-added product ranges of men's wear, under the Vimal brand, and home textiles, under the Harmony brand. Other textile products, including women's wear products, will be phased out, and the polyester filament yarn processing business will be re-located.

 

The first phase of restructuring will lead to a reduction of over 4,600 people from the company's total workforce, at an estimated one-time outlay of Rs.900.00 millions, in an amicable manner within a span of two weeks

 

It has increased its stake in equity share capital of BSES, an electric utility company, through open offer to 27%. Further it has announced the largest share buy back of Rs.1,1000 millions at a maximum price of Rs.303/- per share. The company proposes to invest Rs.2,50,000 millions over the next 3 to 5 years in the telecom sector covering basic, cellular, long distance, international, voice, data services by setting up a broadband network throughout India.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND ANALYSIS

 

Turnover achieved for the half year ended 30th September 2010 was Rs.1209690.000 millions (US$ 26.9 billion), an increase of 48.8% over the corresponding period of the previous year. Increase in volume accounted for 28.8% growth in revenue and higher prices accounted for 20.0% growth in revenue. Exports were higher by 55.5% at Rs.669360.000 millions (US$ 14.9 billion) as against Rs.430350.000 millions in the corresponding period of the previous year.

 

Consumption of raw materials increased by 43.7% to Rs.893900.000 millions (US$ 19.9 billion) mainly on account of higher crude oil prices as well as higher volume of crude oil processed in the SEZ refinery. Purchases for traded goods decreased from Rs.15950.000 millions to Rs.7900.000 millions.

 

Employee costs were at Rs.12770.000 millions (US$ 284 million) for the half year as against Rs.11530.000 millions reflecting increased payout to employees.

 

Other expenditure increased by 37.3% from Rs.54260.000 millions to Rs.74520.000 millions (US$ 1.7 billion) due to higher selling expenses on additional volumes, royalty on higher oil and gas production, higher shutdown expenses, and exchange difference.

 

Operating profit before other income and depreciation increased by 37.8% from Rs.136010.000 millions to Rs.187380.000 millions (US$ 4.2 billion). Net operating margin was lower at 15.5% as compared to 16.7% in the corresponding period of the previous year due to base effect and softer margin environment in petrochemicals partially offset by incremental share of the higher margin Oil and Gas business and improved refinery margins.

 

Other income was marginally higher at Rs.13940.000 millions (US$ 310 million) as against Rs.13370.000 millions as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year primarily due to higher average cash balances.

 

Depreciation (including Depletion and Amortization) was higher by 59.2% at Rs.68620.000 millions (US$ 1.5 billion) against Rs.43100.000 millions in the corresponding period of the previous year primarily on account of higher depletion charge in Oil and Gas and increased depreciation in the Refining business.

 

Interest cost was higher at Rs.10830.000 millions (US$ 241 million) as against Rs.9220.000 millions in the corresponding period of the previous year principally due to lower capitalization of interest charges. Gross interest cost was lower at Rs.13110.000 millions (US$ 292 million) as against Rs.16810.000 millions for the corresponding period of the previous year on account of lower interest rates. Interest capitalized was lower at Rs.2280.000 millions (US$ 51 million) as against Rs.7580.000 millions due to commissioning of KG D6 and SEZ projects in the corresponding period of the previous year.

 

Profit after tax was Rs.97740.000 millions (US$ 2.2 billion) as against Rs.75180.000 millions for the corresponding period of the previous year.

 

Basic earnings per share (EPS) post allotment of Bonus Shares for the half year ended 30th September 2010 was Rs.29.9 (US$ 0.7) against Rs.23.0 for the corresponding period of the previous year.

 

Outstanding debt as on 30th September 2010 was Rs.681980.000 millions (US$ 15.2 billion) compared to Rs.624950.000 millions as on 31st March 2010. Net gearing as on 30th September 2010 was 20.3% as against 22.0% as on 31st March 2010.

RIL’s net debt was equivalent to 1.0 time annualized PBDIT for the half year ended 30th September 2010.

 

The net capital expenditure towards projects for the half year ended 30th September 2010 was Rs.32960.000 millions (US$ 733 million).

 

RIL has domestic credit ratings of AAA from CRISIL and FITCH. RIL has investment grade ratings for its international debt from Moody’s and S and P as Baa2 and BBB respectively. Fitch has revised its RIL’s long-term Local Currency Issuer Default Rating (LC IDR) to 'BBB' from 'BBB-'.

During the period, higher quantities of oil, gas and condensate production from KG D6 led to the growth in revenue. However, this growth was partly offset by lower production from Panna-Mukta and Tapti fields. EBIT margins reduced primarily due to higher proportion of KG D6 as compared to PMT due to shutdown in Panna-Mukta fields.

 

DOMESTIC OPERATIONS

 

KG D6

 

Current production of about 58 MMSCMD is taken from 16 wells of D1 / D3 and 5 wells of D26 fields. The production of gas condensate from D26 fields commenced from 21st April 2010.

 

For the half year ended 30th September 2010, production from KG D6 was 583,348 tonnes of crude oil, and 10,699 MMSCM of natural gas, a growth of 163% and 122% respectively as the oil and gas production was under ramp up during the corresponding period of the previous year. During the period, production of gas condensate stood at 35,742 tonnes.

 

In line with the Government of India’s gas utilization policy, GSPAs for KGD6 gas have been executed and operational with about 57 customers in the fertilizers, power, city gas distribution, steel, LPG, refinery and petrochemical sectors. During the quarter ended 30th September 2010, GSPAs with three power plants were signed.

 

Panna-Mukta and Tapti (PMT)

 

Production from Panna-Mukta was 613 MMSCM of natural gas, reduction of 33% and 490,600 tonnes of crude oil, reduction of 41% as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. The reduction in production was attributed to following shutdowns –

 

·         Six days shutdown in Panna in April 2010

·         Failure of sub-sea hose system and parting of anchor chains to the SBM on 20th July 2010. Installation of new anchor chains and sub-sea hose assembly has been completed and the production has resumed from 25th October 2010.

 

Production from Tapti was 1,459 MMSCM of natural gas and 79,600 tonnes of condensate, a decrease of 10% and 20% respectively over the corresponding period of the previous year. The decrease in production was due to natural reserves decline.

 

Other Domestic Blocks

 

During the half year, following six discoveries were notified to Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) –

 

·         Dhirubhai-47 in Well AF1 in CB10 block

·         Dhirubhai-48 in Well AJ1 in CB10 block

·         Dhirubhai-49 in Well AT1 in CB10 block

·         Dhirubhai-50 in Well AN1 in CB10 block

·         Dhirubhai-51 in Well AR1 in CB10 block

·         Dhirubhai-52 in Well W1 in KGVD3 block

 

Currently, two deepwater rigs are under operation for Exploration and one additional rig is expected in second half of the FY 2010-11.

 

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

 

Conventional

 

The International business comprises of 14 blocks with acreage of over 102,385 square kilometers in Peru, Yemen, Oman, Kurdistan, Colombia, East Timor and Australia. Average production for the quarter ended 30th September 2010 at the Yemen Block 9 was about 4,500 barrels per day.

During the half year ended 30th September 2010, 33.8 million tonnes of crude was refined by the refineries reflecting an average utilization rate of 109%. This was the highest operating rate in the world, reflecting RIL‟s leadership in operating the assets and the global acceptance of the products. In comparison, average refinery utilization rate was 85.2% in North America, 77.6% in Europe and 82.6% in the Asia.

 

During the period, the refinery utilization rates improved in all the major markets of US, Europe and Asia due to increased product demand and improving economic environment

 

Revenue for the Refining and Marketing segment increased by 56.6% from Rs.639980.000 millions to Rs.1002030.000 millions (US$ 22.3 billion) mainly due to incremental volumes coming from SEZ refinery. Increase in volume accounted for 30.8% growth in revenue and higher prices accounted for 25.8% growth in revenue. On trailing quarter basis, refining segment revenues were marginally lower due to reduced sales of HSD into the domestic market.

 

Exports of refined products were US$ 13.4 billion as against US$ 7.5 billion during the corresponding period of the previous year. This accounted for about 19.7 million tonnes of products as against 13.2 million tonnes during the corresponding period of the previous year due to increased export volumes from SEZ refinery.

 

On trailing quarter basis, refining margins in US and Europe region weakened due to slow economic recovery amid concerns on future growth. In the US Gulf Coast, the end of driving season and high product inventories led to weakening of margins. In Europe, lackluster demand and limited export opportunities led to pressure on margins. However, Singapore complex margins improved on account of higher gasoil and fuel oil cracks which offset the lower gasoline cracks.

 

During the period, Arab light - Arab heavy crude differential expanded by nearly US$ 1 / bbl as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year primarily due to weak fuel oil cracks and higher demand for lighter products resulting in higher demand for lighter crude. On trailing quarter basis, Arab light - Arab heavy crude differential improved marginally due to largely unchanged OPEC quota and compliance level.

 

Gasoline cracks were weaker in comparison to the trailing quarter in most of the major markets due to weak seasonal demand further impacted by higher supply and inventory levels.

 

Higher demand and increased industrial / construction activity resulted in stronger gasoil cracks in Singapore. On a trailing quarter basis, cracks for gasoil were up by 9% in Asia. However, in contrast, in US and Europe, gasoil cracks weakened by 4% and 5% respectively.

 

As incremental supply from the Middle East crackers started making its presence felt, demand for naphtha reduced considerably thereby resulting in naphtha cracks turning negative in Asia and Europe. In addition, Asian refiners increased their operating rate resulting in higher supply of naphtha thus suppressing margins. Naphtha cracks were lower by US$ 1.1 / bbl in Asia on a trailing quarter basis.

 

RIL’s Gross Refining Margin (GRM) for half year was at US$ 7.7 / bbl as against US$ 6.3 / bbl while RIL’s GRM for quarter was at US$ 7.9 / bbl as against US$ 6.0 / bbl in the corresponding period of the previous year. RIL GRM premium over Singapore complex margin widened primarily due to efficient global sourcing of crude and higher light-heavy differential.

 

EBIT for the refining business was at Rs.42270.000 millions (US$ 941 million), an increase of 59.8% and the EBIT margin increased marginally to 4.2% as compared to 4.1% in the corresponding period of the previous year, due to higher refining margins partly offset by higher depreciation on account of SEZ refinery. On trailing quarter basis too, EBIT margins have improved to 4.4% as compared to 4.0%.

 

RIL has 695 retail outlets operational primarily in Western and Southern states.

During the half year ended 30th September 2010, revenue for the segment increased by 15.8% from Rs.250470.000 millions to Rs.289990.000 millions (US$ 6.5 billion). Increase in volume accounted for 8.9% growth in revenue and higher prices accounted for 6.9% growth in revenue.

 

EBIT margins for the half year ended 30th September 2010 were at 14.7% as compared to 17.2% in the corresponding period of the previous year on account of incremental PP production from Jamnagar SEZ which witnessed significant margin reduction over Propylene. On a trailing quarter basis, EBIT margins reduced due to negative impact of margin reduction in PP-Propylene and most of the products in polyester and ethylene chain which offset the positive impact of margin improvement in PVC.

 

Due to cracker shutdown at Hazira, Nagothane and Gandhar manufacturing sites, the production of Ethylene decreased by 11% to 795 thousand tonnes while the production of propylene decreased by 8% to 334 thousand tonnes as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. Polymer (PP, PE and PVC) production increased by 5% to 2.0 million tonnes due to incremental PP production from Jamnagar SEZ facility which was partly offset by lower PE production. Refinery Propylene production increased by 29% to 973 thousand tonnes primarily due to higher production from SEZ refinery.

 

During the period, production of fibre intermediates (PX, PTA and MEG) decreased by 5% to 2.2 million tonnes primarily due to planned shutdown of one train in PX Jamnagar and PX plant at Patalganga. Polyester (PFY, PSF and PET) production volumes increased by 2% to 851 thousand tonnes. RIL has maintained its focus on specialty products which accounted for 58% of PSF and 45% of PFY production.

 

Domestic demand for polyester products increased by 17% during the half year on account of increased non-apparel applications like home furnishing and technical textiles. Within polyester segment, demand for PET increased by 29% due to increased beverages and bottled water demand during summer season. Polymer products demand increased by 10% during the period. Within the polymer segment, demand for PP increased by 18% due to strong growth in automobile sector, cement packaging and other industrial applications.

 

 

ORGANIZED RETAIL

 

In the last quarter, Reliance Retail continued to expand presence of its specialty formats, as well as of its various joint ventures. Reliance Brands announced a joint venture (Reliance – 49% share) with Ermenegildo Zegna Group, the world leader in luxury menswear to develop the Zegna brand in India. The joint venture aims to ramp up the operations creating a national footprint to capture the potential of the Indian luxury market.

Reliance Retail’s loyalty program „Reliance One‟, has now patronage of more than 6 million customers.

 

TELECOM

 

RIL’s subsidiary, Infotel Broadband Services Limited (Infotel), has emerged as a successful bidder in all the 22 circles of the auction for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) Spectrum conducted by the DoT.

 

RIL sees the broadband opportunity as a new frontier of knowledge economy in which it can take a leadership position and provide India with an opportunity to be in the forefront among the countries providing world-class 4G network and services

Mumbai, 21st April 2011: Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) announced a rich gas and condensate discovery in the very first well drilled in the block CY-PR-DWN-2001/3(CYPR-D6) located in deepwater Cauvery - Palar basin. The Block with an area of about 8600 sq km was awarded to RIL under the bidding round of NELP-III. RIL currently holds 100% participating interest in this block. This is one of the 23 exploration blocks where BP Exploration (Alpha) Limited would have a 30% participating interest subject to the Government approval.

 

The discovery well CYPR-D6-SA1 is located in a water depth of 1194m and was drilled to a target depth of 3815m and terminated in crystalline basement. The well encountered multiple hydrocarbon bearing clastic reservoirs in Late Cretaceous section. The presence of rich Gas and condensate has been confirmed by several tests including Modular Dynamic Testing (MDT) and Drill Stem Testing (DST). During DST the well produced 37 million standard cubic feet of gas and 1100 barrels of condensate per day through a 56/64” choke size from the main zone that has a gross thickness of about 70m (230 ft). Another zone at a shallower level was established through MDT sampling where gas and condensate sample was collected. This discovery namely ’Dhirubhai-53’ has been notified to Government of India and Directorate General of Hydrocarbons.

 

Further appraisal activity is being planned to assess the extent of these reservoirs along this play trend.
