Offshore Logistics

 

Market Trend and Analysis

 

FY11 was a challenging year for offshore oilfield services in general. While the year started with a burgeoning sense of optimism consequent to stabilised oil prices, a recovering global economy and announcements of increased E and P expenditure, the implicit promise did not translate into either increased utilization or enhanced charter rates. Brief spikes in activity or rates failed to sustain, both over time or across regions.

 

In comparison to other offshore markets, the Brazilian market has performed well. During the year, more than 27 vessels were contracted by Petrobras on terms ranging from 4 – 8 years. The tempo is expected to strengthen further with Petrobras planning to increase domestic production of oil and gas from 2.08m boe/day in 2010 to 5.06m boe/day by 2020. To do this, Petrobras is expected to add another 200 vessels to its existing in-chartered fleet of 250 vessels in the next 3-4 years.

 

Indian state-owned oil company, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (“ONGC”) had a quiet year. Indian offshore logistic providers found few business opportunities within India. The East Coast seems dormant, though with the recent announcement of BP taking a stake in Reliance, this situation is expected to change.

 

The North Sea market was torpid through most of the year, with a brief period of cheer in the second quarter. The

siphoning off of vessels by Brazil failed to alleviate the demand-supply equation enough to inflate charter rates much above five year lows.

 

The South-East Asian market continued to discourage. While national oil companies and IOCs continued to award contracts sporadically during the course of the year, day rates remained soft.

 

The Middle East market remained steeped in gloom, encouraging traditional Middle East companies to venture into global markets.

 

Strangely, even the West African market seemed downcast this year, with issues of piracy and political instability

taking front stage.

 

Sale and Purchase of in-water vessels showed a little more activity than the previous year. Asset prices remained

subdued, with AHTSVs neither gaining nor losing, and PSV values improving slightly.

 

New building activity was largely dormant, with most owners waiting for a little more certainty in the markets before committing their funds. Overall, FY11 was not a year that most offshore vessel owners would like to remember, or to repeat.

 

Company Performance

 

During FY11, the Company or its Subsidiaries extended vessel operations into South East Asia, Australia and Latin America through quite attractive term charters. With operations now spread over most global markets, the Company continues to enhance its image as a global player. During the year, the Company or its Subsidiaries successfully won long term contracts with ONGC, Petrogas, Petronas, BHP Billiton, Petrobras, J R McDermott, etc.

 

During the earlier part of the financial year, thirteen out of the Company’s (including Subsidiaries) fourteen operating vessels were covered under term charters with various reputed clients. During the year, one PSV and three AHTSVs commenced new term charters after completion of their previous contracts. Of the three newly delivered ROVSVs which joined the operating fleet, one won a long term contract in Malaysia (with Petronas/BHP Billiton) and the other two won long term contracts in Brazil (with Petrobras). Further, the two MPSSVs which were delivered during the year remained active in the subsea markets of South East Asia and Australia.

 

Fleet Changes

 

As on March 31, 2011, the operating fleet of the Company (including Subsidiaries) stood at seventeen vessels which includes four Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs), seven Anchor Handling Tug cum Supply Vessels (AHTSVs), three Multipurpose Platform Supply and Support Vessels (MPSSVs) and three ROV Support Vessels (ROVSVs). During the year , the Company along with its subsidiaries took delivery of the following vessels:

 

1. MPSSV ‘Greatship Mamta’ on July 20, 2010

2. ROVSV ‘Greatship Ramya’ on August 26, 2010

3. MPSSV ‘Greatship Manisha’ on September 17, 2010

4. ROVSV ‘Greatship Rohini’ on December 10, 2010

5. ROVSV ‘Greatship Rashi’ on March 14, 2011

 

During the year , Singapore subsidiary, GGOS, terminated the bareboat charter of the AHTSV Greatship Abha. Greatship Abha was acquired on sale and leaseback basis in February, 2009.

 

The total new building orders for the Company (including Subsidiaries) are for 7 vessels consisting of two Multipurpose Support Vessels (MSVs) in India, three ROVSVs in Sri Lanka and two 150 TBP AHTSVs in Singapore. The asset profile and fleet order book are enclosed.

 

Outlook For Offshore Logistics Market

 

With stabilization of oil prices, a growing Australian market, and a hungry Brazilian market absorbing tonnage swiftly, the global offshore market gives rise to optimism. There is, however, a certain amount of apprehension due to the oversupply of certain asset classes, strong cabotage regulations in certain pockets of South East Asia and rising security issues in West Africa.

 

Early indications in the North Sea market have been positive with a considerable number of term charters being awarded in the region. The spot market is expected to strengthen during the summer months.

 

The Indian market is expected to offer more opportunities post monsoon FY12.

 

The Latin American market holds a lot of optimism with Petrobras reiterating its commitment towards continued investments. It is expected to continue absorbing offshore vessels to support the huge investments already made in and committed to the deep waters off the Brazilian coast.

 

Drilling Services

 

Market Trend And Analysis

 

FY11 will be remembered as the year of the Deepwater Horizon incident, which posed a huge set back to a gradually recovering market. Deep water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) practically came to a standstill, with the Government imposing standards and requirements which prevented any reasonable activity. Only in the first quarter of 2011 has the situation shown some signs of relenting with the Government issuing the first few permits.

 

Jack Up Rig (JUR) markets in FY11 bifurcated sharply. Older rigs (pre 2000 built) found markets around the world turning hostile, resulting in sharply reduced utilisation and charter rates in the US$ 65,000 – US$ 75,000 range. Demand for modern rigs (post 2000 built) strengthened, with utilisation rising past the 80% mark and charter rates

stabilising around US$ 120,000 per day.

 

Given the above, many drilling contractors reluctantly stacked their older rigs during the year.

 

During the second half of FY11, increased activity in Mexico, Brazil, West Africa and South East Asia lent the market much needed optimism, leading to a flurry of new build orders (31 in 6 months) being placed at leading rig building yards across the world. Some of these were by speculators, but most were by established drilling companies focused on replacing their ageing fleets. This led to new build prices moving up steadily and settling at about US$ 180mfor a 350’ modern JUR.

 

Company Performance

 

JUR Greatdrill Chitra, owned by Singapore subsidiary, GGES, continued operations with ONGC (the rig is under contract for a period of five years) in the West coast of India. Greatdrill Chitra has safely and successfully accomplished the lowering of 9-5/8" casing to a depth of 4900 Mts, deepest in Mumbai High, at the well KI#B in the Gulf of Kutch. The well was also successfully drilled to the target depth of 6000 Mts.

 

JUR Greatdrill Chetna continued under the current three year contract with ONGC and since the beginning of the

Charter drilled and completed 3 wells successfully to deeper depths. The rig completed the year without any recordable incident/ accident.

 

Fleet Changes

 

GGES purchased bareboat chartered JUR Greatdrill Chetna from Mercator in early March 2011.

 

GGES also placed a new build order for a 350’ JUR (Le Tourneau Super 116E) with Lamprell Energy in UAE, for delivery inQ3FY 13 (Q4 calendar 2012).

 

Outlook For Drilling Market

 

Crude oil prices stayed stable through the year with a sharp increase in the last quarter due to the political situation in North Africa and the Middle East. EIA reports that global oil demand is expected to grow at a healthy rate resulting in average global consumption growth over the next 2 years returning to rates experienced prior to the global financial crisis in 2008. Recently, the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA), the energy-monitoring body of 28 industrialized countries, also raised its 2011 world oil demand outlook, citing the impact of buoyant global economic growth and frigid weather conditions in the northern hemisphere. IEA predicts that global oil demand will increase by 1.6% (or 1.4 million barrels per day) annually, reaching 89.1 million barrels a day in 2011 from last year’s 87.7 million barrels a day.

 

With oil prices at above $100 per barrel, E and P companies seem to be accelerating both their exploration and production programmes, resulting in increasing demand for drilling rigs. This increased drilling activity, however, seems to be impacting only the modern, more powerful rigs.

 

Q4 FY11 saw increased contracting and increased day rates in the JUR market, which is hoped will continue through the following years.

 

Current concerns include the geo-political unrest in North Africa and the Middle East, as well as a possible overhang of supply over demand due to the burst in new build ordering in the second and third quarters of FY11.

 

Iv. Subsea Solutions

 

Market Trend and Analysis

 

FY11 was a loss making year for many mid-sized subsea services companies across the world. Utilisation of subsea vessels touched all time lows (some categories as low as 15%) and many projects, though visible, remained elusive as both IOCs and NOCs allowed uncertainty to stay their hands through the year.

 

Desperation led to many companies ‘buying’ work, doing projects at or lower than cost.

 

The large subsea SURF companies did not suffer as badly, as past order-books allowed them to coast through the year without visible pain.

 

Maintenance projects continued in many parts of the world, albeit sporadically.

 

The fourth quarter saw some recovery with Australia, Norway, SEA and China inking both new development projects as well as maintenance projects. However, FY12 is not likely to see a huge recovery, and tension prevails amongst vessel owners as well as service providers in this domain.

 

Brazil, Australia, China and Go Mare expected to be the markets that will lead recovery through the year.

 

The S and P market and new build market for subsea assets remained somnolent. Though some desperate owners tried to down size their fleets, there were not many takers.

 

There was some interesting Mand Aactivity as companies consolidated with the objective of strengthening previously week balance sheets and filling largely empty backlogs.

 

Company Performance

 

The Company’s newly incorporated subsidiaries Greatship Subsea Solutions Singapore Pte. Limited (GSS) and Greatship Subsea Solutions Australia Pty Limited (GSA) would be specializing in four sub segments within the subsea vertical, namely construction and decommissioning support, inspection, maintenance and repair, geotechnical and geophysical services and well construction services. This business vertical had one asset in subsea – Greatship Mamta which carried out three projects, one in Philippines, one in Australia and one in Indonesia involving jobs like ROV and positioning services, ROV support and light construction and pipeline replacement.

 

Outlook For Bubsea Market

 

Worldwide indicators show signs of increased activity from second half 2011, which are further expected to improve in 2012 and return to normal levels of activity in later 2012 and 2013. For the period 2013 onwards, indications are for a significant uplift in activity surpassing even the highs of 2007-2008. The reasons for this include;

 

1. Oil prices are returning to levels which encourage E and P spending across all sectors of the market. In addition to the obvious spend on new projects from the majors the strong oil price has the following additional benefits;

a. Strong oil prices allow small to mid cap oil companies to exploit smaller and more marginal fields. These projects provide significant opportunities.

b. The strengthening oil price encourages extensions to field life cycles which increases brown field construction and IMR opportunities

 

2. The combination of legislative pressures and reduced contractor costs / increased capacity has spurred a

significant increase in decommissioning projects worldwide

 

3. The emergence of Asia as the new world economic power and its ever increasing demand for energy has underpinned several ‘mega’ LNG projects in Australia, PNG, Indonesia amongst others. These projects have a different economic model than oil and are usually based on 30-50 year life spans. The gas contracts are in place and indicators show Australasia overtaking Brazil in Greenfield construction spending across 2014-2015.

 

4. Recent mergers and acquisitions in the subsea space (Acergy – SS7, Fugro – TS Marine etc) are creating opportunities for emerging subsea players who can deliver solutions quicker and at a lower cost. This is especially true in the decommissioning and SURF markets with the mid cap operators.

 

For all the above reasons the improved prospects in subsea, especially in Australia, Brazil and South East Asia, appear to be favourable to their MPSSVs and MSVs.

 

Contingent Liabilities : [As on 31.03.2011]

 

a) Guarantees given by banks Rs.525.945 millions (previous year - Rs.704.670 millions).

 

b) Corporate guarantees given on behalf of subsidiary companies Rs.21397.071 millions (previous year - Rs.16235.804 millions).

 

c) Customs duty in respect of vessel provisionally cleared against security bond furnished by the company Rs.88.230 millions (previous year- Rs. 88.230 millions).

 

d) Service tax claimed for services provided by drilling units under the head “Supply of Tangible Goods for use” and the services being consumed by the seabed of the Continental Shelf of India, amounting to Rs.272.452 millions (previous year – Rs. Nil). However, the Company is of the view that in the unforeseen circumstances that the demand is sustained, the same would be recoverable from the service receiver under the terms of contract. For the similar period the company has also received notice from The Assistant Commissioner of Service Tax in relation to the Central Excise Revenue Audit (CERA) objection for payment of service tax on the services provided by the drilling units.

 

e) Custom duty demand for Marine Gas Oil to be treated as Light Diesel Oil during conversion of the vessel from a foreign-run vessel to a coastal-run vessel, disputed by the company estimated Rs.1.185 millions (previous year - Rs. Nil).
