OVERVIEW

 

Value creation through operating excellence and new Initiatives

 

In line with its aspirations of ongoing growth, Reliance is investing its resources in core businesses across the integrated energy chain. It is also taking an initiative of investing in new technologies and businesses that help meet changing aspirations of millions of Indian consumers. These strategies and initiatives are aimed to ensure that Reliance delivers long-term growth and creates unprecedented value for its stakeholders.

 

Subject has an integrated business model that combines a long-term perspective, with focus on operational excellence and disciplined approach towards capital investment to deliver shareholder value. The Company has identified, developed and executed projects while applying best practices that ensure superior project returns across a range of scenarios. It has regularly generated higher income from its productive capital base, as demonstrated by superior returns on average capital employed. It has delivered industry-leading financial and operating results that multiply long-term shareholder value. RIL’s proven and tested business model, and superior cash flow served its shareholders well in the Financial Year 2010 – 2011 (FY-11).

 

FY-11 was a strong year for its upstream oil and gas business. Subject completed two years of operations of its KG-D6 production facility. It not only delivered new supplies of crude oil and natural gas to the nation, but also provided significant value for the Company and its shareholders. Production from KG-D6 for FY-11 was 7.95 million barrels (MMBL) of crude oil, and 720 billion cubic feet (BCF) of natural gas - a growth of 97.6% and 41.7% respectively.

 

In FY-11, Reliance entered into four Joint Ventures (JV) in the United States of America. These JVs, over a period, will enhance Reliance’s position in development of unconventional natural gas and oil resources and develop new competencies in operating new businesses. The Company is confident that the combination of its complementary strengths will open new opportunities to meet the growing global energy demand and raise value for its shareholders.

 

In the downstream and chemical business, RIL maintained a long-term strategic approach during the recent economic downturn. The Company maintained operating rates upwards of 100% in the refining and petrochemicals business. It processed 66.6 million metric tonnes (MMT) of crude, the highest ever, at its Jamnagar refinery complex. For the sixth consecutive year, RIL has been featured in the Fortune Global 500 list of the world’s largest corporations. Its current rankings are as follows:

 

·         175 based on revenues

·         100 based on profits

 

RIL - BP alliance

 

During the year, RIL and BP announced a strategic partnership in the oil and gas business. This partnership comprises BP taking 30 per cent stake in 23 oil and gas production sharing contracts that Reliance operates in India, including the KG-D6 block, and the formation of a joint venture (50:50) for sourcing and marketing gas in India. The partnership will also endeavor to accelerate the creation of infrastructure for receiving, transporting and marketing natural gas in India. The partnership will combine BP’s world-class deep-water exploration and development capabilities with Reliance’s project management and operations expertise.

 

BP will pay RIL an aggregate consideration of $ 7.2 billion, and completion adjustments, for the interests to be acquired in the 23 production sharing contracts in India. Future performance payments of upto $ 1.8 billion could be paid based on exploration success that results in the development of commercial discoveries.

 

Completion of the transaction is subject to Indian regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. RIL has applied to local regulatory authorities and the Government of India for necessary approvals for this partnership.

 

Shale gas joint ventures

 

The growing importance of U.S. shale gas resources is reflected in USA’s Department of Energy’s EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2011 energy projections, with technically recoverable U.S. shale gas resources now estimated at 862 TCF. Given a total natural gas resource base of 2,543 trillion cubic feet (TCF), shale gas resources constitute 34% of the domestic natural gas resource base and 50% of 48 onshore resources in the US. As a result, shale gas is the largest contributor to the projected growth in production, and by 2035, shale gas production is expected to account for 46% of U.S. natural gas production as per the report.

 

During the year, the Company took a significant step by entering into partnerships in the United States of America with Atlas Energy, Pioneer Natural Resources and Carrizo Oil and Gas through three distinctive joint venture agreements. It has also entered into a separate joint venture with Pioneer Natural Resources aimed at addressing the mid-stream opportunity in gas evacuation and transportation. RIL, through its subsidiary, Reliance Marcellus LLC, has entered into a joint venture with the USA based Atlas Energy, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, under which Reliance acquired a 40% interest in Atlas’s core Marcellus Shale acreage position. The acreage will support the drilling of over 3,000 wells with a net resource potential of approximately 13.3 TCFe (5.3 TCFe net to Reliance).

 

RIL, through its subsidiary, Reliance Eagleford Upstream Holding LP, has entered into a joint venture with the USA based Pioneer Natural Resources Company, Irving, Texas, under which Reliance acquired a 45% interest in Pioneer’s core Eagle Ford shale acreage position. The acreage will support the drilling of over 1,750 wells with a net resource potential to the joint venture of nearly 10 TCFe (4.5 TCFe net to Reliance).

 

RIL, through its subsidiary, Reliance Marcellus II LLC, has entered into a joint venture with the USA based Carrizo Oil and Gas Inc., under which Reliance acquired 60% interest in Marcellus Shale acreage in central and northeast Pennsylvania. The acreage will support the drilling of approximately 1,000 wells with a net resource potential of nearly 3.4 TCFe (2.0 TCFe net to Reliance).

 

Joint venture for Butyl Rubber production in India

 

During the year, RIL and Russia’s SIBUR announced a joint venture for the setting up of a facility for producing 100,000 tonnes of butyl rubber in India. This is a significant step towards Reliance’s commitment to service India’s growing automotive sector by bringing in complex technologies, available with only a very few companies globally. The setting up of domestic manufacturing of butyl rubber will fulfill a longstanding demand of the Indian tyre and rubber industry.

 

Spearheading the knowledge revolution

 

During the year, RIL acquired a 95% stake in Infotel Broadband Services Limited, which emerged as a successful bidder in all the 22 circles of the auction for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum conducted by the Department of Telecommunication, Government of India. RIL has invested Rs. 4201.64 millions by way of subscription to equity capital issued by Infotel Broadband.

 

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

 

Continuing success in exploration and production

 

This was yet another successful period for RIL’s oil and gas exploration and production business. The Company made five oil discoveries in the on-land exploratory block CB–ONN–2003/1 (CB-10 A and B) in the Cambay basin, awarded under the NELP-V round of exploration bidding. These discoveries are significant as this play fairway is expected to open more oil pool areas, leading to better hydrocarbon potential within the block. The block covers an area of 635 sq. km. in two parts, viz. Part A and Part B. RIL holds 100% participating interest (PI) in the block

 

The Company also made a gas discovery in the exploration block KG-DWN-2003/1 (KG-V-D3) of NELP-V. The deepwater block KG-DWN-2003/1 is located in the Krishna basin, about 45 km. off the coast in the Bay of Bengal. The block covers an area of 3,288 sq. km. in which RIL holds a 90% PI. During the period, the following six discoveries were notified to the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons

(DGH), Government of India:

 

·         Dhirubhai-47 in Well AF1 in CB-10 block

·         Dhirubhai-48 in Well AJ1 in CB-10 block

BUSINESS REVIEW

 

OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

 

Energy markets have improved significantly over the past 12-15 months as a result of improved economic growth, higher demand for refined products and limited supplies of crude oil. In 2010, global oil demand grew by 3.4% (or 2.9 MMBD) to 87.9 MMBD, which is the highest growth in the last 30 years. Emerging Asia which comprises India and China, accounted for 40% of the oil demand increase. Global LNG markets also grew by 13% and are currently at 275 million tonnes per annum (MMTPA).

 

Crude prices increased 25% during the year wherein Brent oil prices averaged $86.7/bbl vis-à-vis $69.5/bbl in FY-10. In FY-11, the US benchmark Henry Hub gas prices averaged $4.13/MMBTU vis-à-vis $3.98/MMBTU in FY-10. Prices remained range-bound in the US due to excess drilling and lack of export infrastructure. However, Asian LNG prices remained linked to crude oil and spot prices in recent months touched $10-12/MMBTU.

 

It is expected that global energy consumption growth will average at around 1.7% per annum over the next two decades. Of this, non-OECD energy consumption is expected to be 68% higher by 2030, averaging 2.6% p.a. growth, and accounting for 93% of global energy growth. OECD energy consumption in 2030 is expected to be around 6% higher than today, with growth averaging at a measly 0.3% p.a. over the next two decades.

 

The fuel mix is changing relatively slowly, due to long asset lifetime, but gas and non-fossil fuels are gaining share at the expense of coal and crude oil. The fastest growing fuels are renewables (including biofuels) which are expected to grow at 8.2% p.a. 2010-30; among fossil fuels, gas grows the fastest (2.1% p.a.).

 

Non-OECD countries are likely to account for 80% of the global rise in gas consumption, with growth averaging at around 3% p.a. Demand growth is expected to be the fastest in non-OECD Asia (4.6% p.a.) and the Middle East (3.9% p.a.). It is expected that over the next two decades, China could consume about 43 BCF per day, which is comparable to that of the 47 BCF per day that EU currently consumes. The growth is expected to remain modest in OECD markets (1% p.a.), particularly in North America.

 

Oil continues to suffer a long run decline in market share, while gas is steadily gaining. Natural gas is projected to be the fastest growing fossil fuel globally. Production is expected to grow in every region except Europe, with Asia accounting for the world’s largest production and consumption increments.

 

The IEA estimates that global upstream capital spending, which had fallen by 15% in 2009, has rebound in 2010 and is pegged at $ 470 billion. Global offshore capital expenditure is estimated at $ 150 billion and nearly $ 874 billion is expected to be spent over the next five years. A substantial portion of this investment will flow into deepwater. Deep-water capital expenditure is pegged at nearly $ 50 billion and deep-water production is set to double in the next five years. Currently, there are very few fields with water depths of more than 2,000 meters under development. Many of the recent discoveries have been in those water depths. The capital expenditure sanctioned in this water depth is likely to double by 2012.

 

The role of unconventional oil is also expected to increase significantly and will touch 10% of world oil demand by 2035.

 

India continues to remain amongst the fastest growing economies of the world with a projected growth of 8-9%. Consequently, India’s energy needs are expected to treble by 2035 from 468 million tonnes of oil equivalent (MTOE) to nearly 1405 MTOE. India can fulfill its agenda for climate change as natural gas used to generate power has half the CO2 emissions of conventional coal power generation and near-zero sulphur emissions.

 

Indian gas market

 

In India, gas constitutes around 10% of the current energy basket compared to the global average of 24% and hence presents a vast potential for growth. The demand for natural gas in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10% over the next five years and could soon be a significant player in the global gas market. 

 

RIL – BP partnership

 

On February 21, 2011, RIL and BP announced a strategic partnership between the two companies and signed the relationship framework and transactional agreements. The partnership across the full value chain comprises BP taking a 30% stake in 23 oil and gas production sharing contracts that Reliance operates in India, including the producing KG-D6 block. The partnership will aim to combine BP’s deep-water exploration and development capabilities with Reliance’s project management and operations expertise. The two companies will also form a joint venture (50:50) for the sourcing and marketing of gas in India and bid together for incremental opportunities in the deep-water blocks in the east coast of India.

 

BP will pay RIL an aggregate consideration of $ 7.2 billion, and completion adjustments, for the interests to be acquired in the 23 production-sharing contracts. Future performance payments of upto $ 1.8 billion could be paid based on exploration success that results in development of commercial discoveries. RIL will continue to be theoperator under the production-sharing contracts. Completion of the transactions is subject to regulator and the Government of India approvals.

 

RIL gas marketing

 

KG-D6 was the single largest source of domestic gas in the country for FY-11 and accounted for almost 35% of the total gas consumption in India. The gas from KG-D6 catered to demand from 57 customers in critical sectors like fertilizer, power, steel, petrochemicals and refineries. The gas from KG-D6 accounted for about 44% of the total domestic gas production paving the way for increased energy independence for the country.

 

RIL’s E and P business:

 

KG-D6 KG-D6 gas fields completed 730 days of 100% uptime and zero-incident production. An average daily gas production from KG-D6 block for the year was 55.9 MMSCMD with a cumulative production of 1,257 BCF since inception, of which 720 BCF was produced in the current fiscal. An average oil production for the year from the block was 21,971 barrels per day with a cumulative production of 14 MMBL of oil and condensate since inception, of which 8 MMBL of oil and 1 MMBL of condensate was produced in the current fiscal.

 

In the D1-D3 gas fields a total of 20 wells have been drilled, of which 18 are production wells. Of these, 2 wells have been drilled this fiscal.

 

6 wells in the D26 field are under production. Of these, MA-2 which was earlier a gas injection well has been converted to a production well since April 2010.

 

An integrated development plan for all gas discoveries in KG-D6 is being conceptualized. This will encompass existing wells and other discoveries within the block to maximize capital efficiency and to accelerate monetization.

 

 

International business

 

During the year, Reliance entered into one of the fastest growing opportunities emerging in the U.S. unconventional gas business through three upstream joint ventures. These joint ventures will materially increase Reliance’s resources base and provide Reliance with an entirely new platform to grow its exploration and production business while simultaneously enhancing its ability to operate unconventional resource projects in the future.

 

RIL – Chevron

 

RIL, through its subsidiary, Reliance Marcellus LLC, entered into a joint venture with Atlas Energy, Inc. (now owned by Chevron Corporation) under which Reliance acquired a 40% interest in Atlas’ core Marcellus shale acreage position. The acquisition cost of participating interest in the JV consisting of $ 339 million of upfront payment and an additional payment of $ 1.36 billion under a carry arrangement for 75% of Atlas’s capital costs over an anticipated seven and a half year development programme. Reliance becomes a partner in approximately 300,000 net acres of undeveloped leasehold in the core area of the Marcellus shale in southwestern Pennsylvania. The acreage will support the drilling of over 3,000 wells with a net resource potential of approximately 13.3 TCFe (5.3 TCFe net to Reliance)

 

While Atlas will serve as the development operator for the joint venture, Reliance is expected to begin acting as development operator in certain regions in coming years as part of the joint venture. Under the framework of the joint venture, Atlas will continue acquiring leasehold in the Marcellus shale region and Reliance will have the option to acquire 40% share in all new acreage. Reliance also obtains the right of first offer with respect to potential future sales by Atlas of around 280,000 additional Appalachian acres currently controlled by Atlas.

 

RIL – Pioneer

 

RIL, through its subsidiary, Reliance Eagleford Upstream LP, entered into a joint venture with Pioneer Natural Resources Company under which Reliance acquired a 45% in two separate transactions. Pioneer and Newpek LLC, Pioneer’s existing partner in Eagle Ford, simultaneously conveyed 45% of their respective interests in the Eagle Ford to Reliance. Newpek owned an approximate 16% nonoperated interest in Pioneer’s core Eagle Ford shale acreage. Following the transaction, Pioneer, Reliance and Newpek own 46%, 45% and 9% of the joint venture interests, respectively.

 

The joint venture has an approximate net working interest of 91% in 289,000 gross acres implying 263,000 net acres. Reliance paid $ 1.315 billion for its implied share of 118,000 net acres. This upstream transaction consideration included combined upfront cash payments of $ 263 million and additional $ 1.052 billion capital costs under a carry arrangement for 75% of Pioneer’s and Newpek’s capital costs over an anticipated four years. The joint venture’s leasehold, which is largely undeveloped, is located in the core area of the Eagle Ford shale in south Texas. Low operating costs, significant liquids content (70% of the acreage lies within the condensate window) and excellent access to services in the region combine to make the Eagle Ford one of the most economically attractive unconventional resources in North America. Pioneer believes the acreage will support the drilling of over 1,750 wells with a net resource potential to the joint venture of approximately 10 TCFe (4.5 TCFe net to RIL).

 

The joint venture plans to increase the current drilling programme to approximately 140 wells per year within three years. Also included in the transaction is current production of 28 MMCFe/d (11 MMCFe/d net to Reliance) from five currently active horizontal wells. While Pioneer will serve as the development operator for the upstream joint venture, Reliance is expected to begin acting as development operator in certain areas in coming years as part of the joint venture. Under the framework of the joint venture, Pioneer will continue acquiring leasehold in the Eagle Ford Shale and Reliance will have the option to acquire a 45% share in all newly acquired acres.

 

Additionally, Reliance and Pioneer formed a midstream joint venture that will service the gathering needs of the upstream joint venture. Reliance’s subsidiary, Reliance Eagleford Midstream LLC, paid $ 46 million to acquire a 49.9% membership interest in the joint venture. Pioneer and Reliance will have equal governing rights in the joint venture and Pioneer will serve as operator.

 

RIL – Carrizo

 

RIL, through its subsidiary, Reliance Marcellus II, LLC, entered into a joint venture with Carrizo Oil and Gas, Inc.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

RIL processed 66.6 million tonnes of crude and achieved an average utilization of 107%, which is significantly higher than the average utilization rates for refineries globally. Exports of refined products were at $29.3 billion. This accounted for 38.6 million tonnes of product as compared to 32.8 million tonnes the previous year.

 

GAPCO

 

Reliance has consolidated operations of its GAPCO subsidiaries in East Africa. GAPCO group owns and operates large storage facilities and also has a well-spread retail distribution network. It owns and operates large coastal storage terminals in Dar-e-Salaam (Tanzania), Mombasa (Kenya) and an inland terminal at Kampala (Uganda) and has well-spread depots in East Africa. GAPCO achieved a turnover of $ 1.1 billion for 2010 (January-December) which was 36.2% higher as compared to the previous year. GAPCO’s EBITDA for 2010 was $ 29.7 million, an increase of 26.9% on a year-on-year basis while profit before tax increased by 24.5% to $ 19.3 million. It sold 1.6 million kilo litres of petroleum products during 2010, which was 23.6% higher over the previous year.

 

STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK

 

Reliance is best positioned to capture top docile margins as a result of processing cheaper, heavier crudes and benefitting from low operating costs. Built in the last decade, the RIL refineries are state-of-the-art and among the most complex refineries in the world. Strategically located on the west coast of India, it benefits from low transportation costs for its feedstock and also from its proximity to the high-growth markets of Asia. From a product slate perspective, the refineries have been designed to produce higher quantities of middle distillate products like diesel and jet-kero and also ultra-clean fuels that provide it the potential for higher refining margins.

 

PETROCHEMICALS

 

ETHYLENE SCENARIO

 

Ethylene is the primary building block and a major feedstock for polymers. It is a raw material used in the manufacture of polymers like polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene, as well as organic chemicals like ethylene oxide and ethylene glycols. These products are used in a variety of end markets, such as packaging, transportation, electronic, textile and construction.

 

Global ethylene markets continue to recover from a state of oversupply that developed in 2008-2010, stemming mainly from the construction of new capacity in the Middle East and Asia and recessionary global conditions. Global ethylene production totalled 122 MMT in 2010, representing an operating rate of 84.9% as compared to 84% in 2009.

 

World Ethylene Supply/Demand/2010

 

Capacity additions in the Middle East and the Asian continent during the recent past have dramatically changed the supply scenario. The Middle East now accounts for 18% of global ethylene capacity as compared to 10% in 2005. Similarly, Asia now contributes to 33% of the global ethylene capacity as compared to 29% in 2005. With the capacity that has become operational in the Middle East, the feedstock mix for cracker has also changed in favour of gas.

 

RIL performance

 

Reliance maintained its leadership in the domestic market with a commodity polymer production share of 47%. RIL’s polymer production for the year remained unchanged despite turnaround activities carried out during the year. RIL’s cracker operating rate was at 90% in FY-11 as compared to 98% in FY-10. Due to cracker shutdown at Hazira, Nagothane and Gandhar manufacturing sites, the production of ethylene decreased by 8% to 1,686 KT while the production of propylene decreased by 5% to 696 KT as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.

 

New developments and growth initiatives

 

Reliance took a lead role in creating new market by conducting customer meets - “Rishta” throughout India, to propel growth of PP, PE, and PVC in the field of engineering, agriculture, infrastructure and packaging sector.

 

Geotextile made from PP has immense potential in construction of roads with improved durability and in river and sea embankment, to prevent erosion. Reliance worked in tandem with textile ministry, industry bodies to facilitate new investment in this “Technical Textile”. Several states of India have already specified use of PP geotextile in road and river embankment.

 

Agriculture is a prime sector for sustainable growth of India. Non-woven PP has proven to be an ideal solution in banana plantations. The Company has tied up for new projects with several agricultural institutes to establish PP in other fruits and vegetables plantation. Apart from increased yields, it will help farmers to grow high quality produce for export business.

 

The Company worked with leading consumer durable manufacturers to successfully introduce PP in fourwheelers, refrigerators and water filters. Reliance is also driving metal replacement and import substitution programme with major commercial/two wheeler manufacturers by introducing niche grade of PP.

 

Reliance has made another break-through in glass replacement by using PP bottles in “flavoured milk” packaging. Light weight, clear, break-resistant PP bottles will now replace glass bottles. This is a landmark innovation of Reliance offering high technology, safe and hygienic product.

 

Chemicals Business

 

Global scenario

 

The global chemical industry has undergone a transformation since major financial crisis of 2008. The chemical industry benefitted from industry discipline and rapid economic recovery, especially in China and India. Despite unplanned outages, the industry demonstrated a slow and consistent improvement in production volumes. The overall margins improved as increase in raw materials could be passed on to the end-user even as operating rates remained stable.

 

An excessive demand pull from the automotive sector coupled with high natural rubber prices created high margin environment in the elastomer segment. Shortage of cotton created superior performance in acrylic fibres and provided support to acrylonitrile. Benzene: The global capacity of benzene in 2010 was 56 MMT against production of 40 MMT, resulting in average operating rate of 72%. Demand for the year was 39.8 MMT. Globally, capacity has increased by more than 7.5 MMT in the past 4-5 years resulting in excess capacity.

 

Butadiene:

 

North-East Asia remains the world’s largest market with a global market share of 44%, followed by 22%, and 21% by USA and Europe respectively. The demand grew at 10% on a year-on-year basis.

 

Polybutadiene Rubber (PBR) is the second largest synthetic rubber among elastomers and its demand is estimated at 2.7 MMT. Global demand for synthetic rubber in coming years is expected to grow at 4.8% annually.

 

Caustic Soda (CS): The installed capacity of caustic soda is 85 MMT globally. The global consumption of caustic soda increased to 63 MMT in FY-11, an increase of about 6% over FY-10 and operating rate of 74%. Around 55% of the global chlor alkali capacity is now in Asia.

 

Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB):

 

 Globally, the consumption of LAB is pegged close to 3 MMTPA against capacity of 3.6 MMTPA. The consumption growth is at 2.5% per annum and is expected to continue at this rate driven by Asian demand. With an installed capacity of 182 KT, Reliance is the world’s fifth largest producer of LAB.

 

Acrylonitrile:

 

The global capacity of acrylonitrile in 2010 was 5.7 MMT against production of 5.1 MMT, resulting in average operating rate of 90%. The demand for the year was 5.08 MMT.

 

Indian chemical scenario

 

The Indian chemical industry environment was in line with the global business environment with the exception of the elastomer segment due to the excessive demand from the automobile segment. RIL has leadership position in aromatic segment constituting benzene, toluene and xylene.

 

The demand from downstream sectors covering SBS rubber, PBR, ABS and styrene butadiene latex recovered during the year and total demand is pegged at 117 KT. Domestic demand for PBR is met by RIL besides imports with consumption estimated at 135 KT. The market estimates demand for PBR to reach 155 KT by 2013 (a growth of 5% CAGR).

 

RIL is the sole producer of acrylonitrile in India with a capacity of 41 KTA. RIL’s production in entirety is sold in the domestic market and represents nearly 30% share with the rest being imported.

 

RIL’s crackers at Hazira, Nagothane, Dahej and Vadodara are among the world’s most integrated petrochemical complexes with upstream refining, E and P and downstream chemical facilities. RIL is a leading producer of LAB, benzene and butadiene in India. RIL also produces basic aromatic building blocks of the highest purity, conforming to the product grades. These include toluene, mixed-xylene and ortho-xylene.

 

For the year, RIL’s benzene production was at 700 KT, a growth of 4% on a year-on-year basis. Total sales for the year were 681 KT, out of which 381 KT was exports, 215 KT was domestic and 85 KT was for captive consumption. Exports of benzene during FY-11 were at 381 KT mainly to the US, Europe, besides Middle East. Toluene, a major byproduct of BTX group, registered production volumes of 105 KT.

 

RIL produced 174 KT of butadiene during the year of which 61 KT was exported after meeting the entire domestic requirement and captive consumption.

 

RIL is the only manufacturer of PBR in India. During the year, it produced 76 KT, an increase of 4.7 % on a year-onyear basis, most of which was sold in the domestic market.

 

RIL has the annual capacity to produce 168 KTA of caustic soda and 141 KT of chlorine. RIL’s capacity utilization for the year was at 97% as against average domestic capacity utilization of 75%.

 

RIL produces 163 KT of LAB on an annualized basis. Tightness of normal paraffins resulted in lower utilization of LAB capacity. RIL’s entire production of acrylonitrile was sold in the domestic market. The upswing in demand from derivatives and restricted global supplies supported prices and margins.

 

Polyester Fibre and Filament

 

Textile and clothing exports by major Asian countries witnessed year-on-year growth amidst revived demand from US and European regions. Textile and clothing imports into US in 2010 increased 15% over 2009 with textile imports rising by 22% and clothing by 12% year-on-year. Chinese textile and clothing exports in 2010 witnessed an impressive growth of 24% over 2009. In case of India, textile and clothing exports witnessed a growth of 11.5% in the first half of FY-11 and are likely to remain healthy in the near future.

 

There was a renewed investment in downstream textile industry, especially in the Asian countries. The global market for spinning machinery and components posted a strong recovery in 2010, following two years of weak demand.

 

The polyester chain delta reached the highest level see in the last one decade. In fact, it has sustained the level above $1,000/MT since the last two quarters of FY-11. For the full year, chain delta were up 33% over last year.

 

Another major development during the year was extreme tightness in global cotton availability. This led to record high price levels and widely impacted the entire textile industry. Cotton prices started moving upwards especially since the second half of FY-11. The commodity has witnessed extreme tightness in availability, which resulted in record prices. Cotton prices reached the highest level in the past 150 years, last seen during the American Civil

 

War way back in 1860s. Both fundamental and market forces played a major role in taking cotton prices to unprecedented levels. During 2010-11 cotton season, major producers like China, Pakistan and Australia witnessed rough weather and floods, which impacted the output.

 

Towards the end of FY-11, cotton prices were 140% higher than those for polyester as also higher than the historical average of 30%. Garment manufacturers/designers are likely to find ways to use more polyester than cotton in their fabric usage. On the demand side, the rising cotton price will continue to drive substitution demand for polyester. The International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) forecasts that cotton’s share of the world textile fibre market could decline to 33% by 2015 as compared to 36.5% in 2009.

Financial Performance Review and Analysis

RIL achieved a turnover for the year ended 31st March 2012 of Rs.3397920.000 Millions ($ 66.8 billion), an increase of 31.4% on a year-on-year basis. Refinery accounted for 36.8% increase, Petrochemicals recorded a 27.7% increase while Oil and Gas revenues decreased by 25.2%. Higher prices accounted for 29.2% growth in revenue while higher volumes accounted for the balance 2.2% growth. Exports were higher by 41.8% at Rs.2080420.000 Millions ($ 40.9 billion) as against Rs.1466670.000 Millions in FY 2010-11.

 

Higher crude prices resulted in consumption of raw materials increasing by 42.2% to Rs.2748140.000 Millions ($ 54.0 billion) on a year-on-year basis.

 

Employee costs were higher by 9.1% at Rs.28620.000 Millions ($ 563 million) for the year ended 31st March 2012 as against Rs.26240.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

Other expenditure increased by 13% from Rs.159650.000 Millions to Rs.180400.000 Millions ($ 3.5 billion) due to higher power and fuel expenses.

 

Transfer of 30% participating interest in E and P, lower production of oil and gas, base effect and lower petrochemical margins in key products resulted in a decline in operating profit before other income and depreciation which declined by 11.8% from Rs.381260.000 Millions to Rs.336200.000 Millions ($ 6.6 billion). Net operating margin was lower at 10.2% as compared to 15.4% in the previous year.

 

Other income was higher at Rs.61920.000 Millions ($ 1.2 billion) as against Rs.30520.000 Millions on a year-on-year basis primarily due to higher average liquid investments following the sale of participatory interest in the domestic oil and gas business to BP.

 

Depreciation (including depletion and amortization) was lower by 16.3% at Rs.113940.000 Millions ($ 2.2 billion) against Rs.136080.000 Millions in FY 2010-11. This was primarily due to lower depletion charges in oil and gas following the transfer of 30% PI to BP.

 

Higher foreign exchange differences resulted in higher interest cost which was at Rs.2667 Millions ($ 524 million) as against Rs.23280.000 Millions in FY 2010-11. This resulted in higher gross interest cost of Rs.30970.000 Millions ($ 609 million) as against Rs.28020.000 Millions in FY 2010-11. Interest capitalized was lower at Rs.4300.000 Millions ($ 84 million) as against Rs.4740.000 Millions.

 

Profit after tax was marginally lower at Rs.200400.000 Millions ($ 3.9 billion) as against Rs.202860.000 Millions for the previous year.

 

Basic earnings per share (EPS) for the year ended 31st March 2012 was Rs.612.000 Millions ($ 1.2) against Rs.620.000 Millions for the previous year.

 

RIL consolidated turnover for the year ended 31st March 2012 of Rs.3585010.000 Millions ($ 70.5 billion), an increase of 34.9% on a year-on-year basis.

Domestic Operations

KG D6

 

Production from the block was 551.31 BCF of natural gas and 4.940 million barrels of crude oil, reduction of 23.5% and 37.9% respectively over the previous year. Production of gas condensate was 0.73 million barrels, reduction of 6.8% over the previous year.

 

Gas available from KG-D6 fields has been supplied to various customers under GSPAs executed in line with the Government's Gas utilization policy and directives of Government of India. Sales for 4Q FY 2011 -12 was at 113.87 BCF (3.22 BCM).

 

During the year, the Government of India approved the Optimized Field Development Plan (OFDP) for development of 4 Satellite discoveries in KG-D6. RIL also submitted a revised development plan for D26 to the DGH.

 

Production from the KG-D6 block has been adversely impacted mainly due to unforeseen reservoir complexities and water ingress in the producing fields. Significant steps have been taken by the joint technical teams at BP and RIL in assessing complexities based on which, an integrated plan for work-overs / side-tracks and additional wells can be executed, subject to necessary regulatory and Government approvals.

 

The Company has issued arbitration notices in respect of obligation of Minimum Work Programme stipulated in the Production Sharing Contracts for four Blocks relinquished by the Company. The amounts payable for the unfinished work under the Minimum Work Programme were agreed upon and settled in October, 2006 between the Government and the Company and were paid. Acting under a subsequent New General Policy promulgated on 17th December, 2007, the Government reopened the issue and made further claims against the Company. The arbitrations relate to refund of the further amounts recovered subsequently by the Government from the Company. The Company has been advised that recovery of additional amounts by the Government is unsustainable and the amounts in the four arbitration notices aggregate to US$ 8,899,242.07.

 

The Company has also issued a notice of arbitration to the Government in respect of Company's entitlement to recover the entire amount of contract costs incurred by the Company as stipulated in the Production Sharing Contract. The Company has been advised that the Government cannot deny cost recovery of any element of contract costs on the ground that the levels of production mentioned in the Development Plan were not being achieved or on any other ground. The Company is following the required procedure for progressing the arbitrations.

 

Panna-Mukta and Tapti (PMT)

The Panna-Mukta fields produced 10.06 MMBL of crude oil and 71.24 BCF of natural gas in FY 2011-12, an increase of 8% and 37% respectively over the previous year. Production during FY 2011-12 was higher due to normalized production levels being achieved (production in FY 2010-11 was impacted due to a shutdown).

 

Panna SPM, which had a major failure in July 2010 resulting in complete shutdown of oil and gas production for 3 months, was duly repaired and its certification was kept valid, that has enabled uninterrupted oil and gas production till date. The entire SPM system which has outlived its design life is planned to be replaced in FY 2012-13.

 

Production from Tapti was 73.79 BCF of natural gas and 0.88 MMBL of condensate - a decline of 22% and 28% respectively over the previous year. The decrease in production was due to a natural decline in the reserves.

 

Other Domestic Blocks

RIL made a hydrocarbon discovery in first well drilled in CY-D6 block - Well SA1 - Discovery Dhirubhai-53. The appraisal work programme was submitted and is under review with the DGH.

 

Following a series of discoveries, RIL has submitted a proposal for commerciality of 8 hydrocarbon discoveries in block CB-10.

 

RIL notified declaration of commerciality for D32 and D40 in NEC-25. This block has acreage of 5,000 square kilometers and is located off the east coast of India. The block was acquired by RIL under the NELP-I and is part of the deal with BP.

 

During the year, as part of reassessment of its portfolio together with BP, RIL relinquished the following blocks: GK-OSJ - 3, MN-DWN 98/2, AS-ONN-2000/1, KG-OSN-2001/2, KG-DWN-2001/1, KG-OSN-2001/1, NEC-DWN-2002/1, PR-DWN-2001/1, KG - DWN -98/1 and CY-PR-DWN-2001/4.

 

Consequently, RIL's domestic oil and gas portfolio consists of 17 exploration blocks excluding KG-D6, CBM, Panna-Mukta and Tapti.

 

CBM Blocks

Exploration initiatives in Sohagpur East and West have been completed and these blocks are in development phase wherein over 45 core holes have been drilled, logged and tested for gas content, permeability and coal properties.

RIL has appointed consultants for subsurface and surface facilities design. A proposal for CBM gas pricing formula based on price discovery has been submitted to the Government for its approval. Further field development activities have been planned and are regulatory approvals.

 

 

International operations (conventional)

Reliance has 10 blocks with acreage of about 51,000 square kilometers in its international oil and gas portfolio including 3 in Yemen (1 producing and 2 exploratory), 2 each in Northern part of Iraq i.e. Kurdistan Region, Peru and Colombia and 1 in Australia. During the year, Oman 18 and Timor-K blocks were relinquished.

During the quarter, G and G activities were under progress in Colombia, Yemen and Kurdistan blocks and EIA activities in Peru blocks as part of the exploration campaign.

 

During the year, average oil production in Yemen Block 09 was approximately 4,250 barrels per day. However, during the quarter, average oil production was lower at 3,900 barrels per day on account of prevailing situation in Yemen.

Reliance achieved its highest ever level of crude throughput and processed 67.600 million tonnes of crude during the year. This resulted in Reliance achieving an average utilization rate of 109% which was significantly higher than average refinery utilization rate of 83.3% in North America, 76.8% in Europe and 82.6%.

 

Refinery utilization rate were in the same range for North America and Asia but was lower in Europe. In Europe depressed petroleum demand and soaring premiums for light sweet grade crude

 

led to poor refining margins and weak economics resulting in depressed utilization rates with many refiners closing or running at reduced rates.

 

Revenue for RIL's Refining and Marketing segment increased by 36.8 % from Rs.2154310.000 Millions to Rs.2947350.000 Millions ($ 57.9 billion). Increase in revenue was principally due to higher price environment (higher by 34.2%) while increase in volume accounted for 2.6%.

 

During the year, exports of refined products were $ 36.0 billion as against $ 29.3 billion for the previous year. This accounted for about 39.600 million tonnes of products as against 38.600 million tonnes for the previous year.

 

During the year ended 31st March 2012, Singapore and US Gulf Coast (USGC) refining margins were stronger but European margins continued to remain weak. Singapore complex refining margins improved on account of firmer gasoline cracks and stronger middle distillate cracks. In US, WTI crack margins remained higher as WTI crude continued to remain decoupled from the prices of internationally traded crude and at heavy discount. Also growing demand in the emerging markets of South American regions provided ready access to any surplus gasoline or diesel leading to better USGC margins. In Europe, Brent cracking margins continued to remain weak as the stronger Brent prices neutralized gains in distillate and gasoline cracks. Brent prices were strong due to the shortfall of light sweet Libyan crude exacerbated by maintenance in North Sea region.

 

During the last quarter, refining margins across all regions improved as compared to trailing quarter mainly due to continued strong distillate cracks and much improved gasoline cracks which got support from higher seasonal demand and switch from winter-grade product to higher-value summer grade.

 

During the last quarter, RIL refineries processed 16.260 million tonnes of crude as against 17.240 million tonnes for the trailing quarter. The external sales volume, during the quarter, was reduced by 6.2% adversely impacting segment EBIT.

 

During the year, Arab light - Arab heavy crude differential expanded by $ 0.5 / bbl as compared to the previous year. This was mainly due to lower supply of light sweet crudes from Libya, continued shut downs of North Sea and EU's ban on Iranian crude imports. Strong Asian demand also resulted in higher sweet grade crude prices.

 

During the last quarter, Light Heavy differential narrowed by almost $ 0.7 / bbl as compared to the trailing quarter after the steady increase in Libyan exports and expected solving of North Sea light crude supply problems. The Light Heavy differential may continue to remain narrow as conversion capacities have increased steeply in the last few years and many refiners have planned significant conversion capacities in the coming years.

 

During the year, gasoline cracks were stronger in Asia in comparison to the previous year due to robust demand in the region and planned / unplanned shut-down of the Asian refineries. During the last quarter, gasoline cracks were stronger as compared to the trailing quarter due to sturdy demand and supply tightness as Asia went through peak refinery maintenance.

 

The robust demand from industrial / construction activity in Asia particularly from China and India and refinery maintenance activities continued to support gasoil cracks. During the year, demand for diesel remained strong in India as prices remained capped and were at a significant discount to gasoline prices.

 

During the year, the gasoil crack increased by almost $ 4.0 / bbl in Asia in comparison to the previous year. Naphtha cracks remained negative across the globe on account of unfavorable economic growth outlook leading to diminished demand for the product, ample supply from refineries and cracker outages particularly in Asia. During the year, Naphtha cracks were lower by $ 4.2 / bbl in Asia in comparison to the previous year. However, during the last quarter, refinery shutdowns helped improve Asian naphtha cracks.

 

RIL's Gross Refining Margin (GRM) for the year ended 31st March 2012 was at $ 8.6/ bbl as against $ 8.4 / bbl in the previous year. Based on available information, these results are among the best in the industry. RIL focused on maintaining high utilization rates despite the shutdown taken in 4Q FY 2011-12. RIL's refineries continue to outperform their peers in the world based on their competitive strength to process challenged feedstock to produce clean fuels at low operating costs. On the products side, the continuing global trend of tightening product specification presents new trade opportunities and RIL expanded its footprint in higher margin markets in Asia and further strengthened its presence in ultra-low sulphur diesel markets.

During the year ended 31st March 2012, revenue for the segment increased by 27.7% from Rs.631550.000 Millions to Rs.806250.000 Millions ($ 15.8 billion). Increase in volume accounted for 6.8% growth in revenue and increase of prices accounted for 20.9% growth in revenue. PX and PP were the largest contributors in terms of revenue growth for the year.

 

On a trailing quarter basis, revenues increased by 8.2% to Rs.214120.000 Millions ($ 4.2 billion) from Rs.197810.000 Millions. Increase in volume accounted for 3.3% growth in revenue and increase of prices accounted for 4.9% growth in revenue. Volume increase is primarily on account of PX and impact of first full quarter operation of MTBE / Butene-1 plant at Hazira.

 

EBIT margins for the year ended 31st March 2012 were at 11.1% as compared to 14.7% in the previous year. On a trailing quarter basis, EBIT margins reduced due to reduction in deltas across the olefins and polyester chain except for PVC, Benzene and Butadiene.

 

During the year, PX and MEG deltas improved due to unplanned shutdowns while PTA deltas suffered due to oversupply and weaker demand from polyester products. PFY and PSF deltas moderated from the record high levels achieved in 4Q FY 2010-11 and were impacted by the weakness in cotton prices. PET deltas improved due to good beverage demand on account of extended warm weather.

Domestic demand for polyester products was increased by 2% primarily due to robust consumption growth for PET. Heavy power shortage in south Indian states is impacting PSF consumption. POY is having steady growth at 3%.

During the year, production of fiber-intermediates (PX, PTA and MEG) increased by 5% to 4.800 million tonnes. Polyester (PFY, PSF and PET) production volumes decreased by 2% to 1.700 million tonnes due to changes in the product mix.

 

During the year, polymer business saw a mixed trend in terms of product margins with moderate domestic demand across key polymers. Polypropylene (PP), which is the largest part of RIL's polymer portfolio, witnessed margin contraction while PVC deltas improved primarily on account of availability of cheaper EDC due to capacity additions in USA and Egypt. PE deltas continued to feel the impact of the substantial capacity added in Middle East and China over last couple of years.

 

During the year, in the chemicals business, Butadiene witnessed margin expansion primarily due to slowdown in global availability as US crackers migrated to lighter feeds and firm demand from the automotive and ABS segment. Strong LAB demand led to improved deltas while Benzene deltas were depressed due to lower demand of Benzene derivatives (Styrene, Phenol and Cyclohexane).

 

Overall demand for polymer products improved by 6% mainly due to growth in the packaging sector, multifilament yarn, non-woven fabrics and moulded products.

 

Production of ethylene and propylene was 1.800 million tonnes and 752 thousand tonnes, an increase of by 10% and 8% respectively. This was due to normalized production during the FY 2011-12 period vis-a-vis cracker turnarounds at Hazira, Nagothane and Dahej manufacturing divisions during the previous year. Polymer (PP, PE and PVC) production was increased by 9% to 4.5 million tonnes.

 

Organized Retail

FY 2011-12 has been a year of growth with consolidation for Reliance Retail. The company witnessed strong growth in sales from existing stores and added new stores across all its formats. The company maintained its position of being the largest grocery retailer in the country.

 

Reliance Retail also implemented a slew of strategic initiatives aimed at maximizing efficiencies, value and utilization of assets apart from promoting faster growth. Under its value format, the company launched its new prototype of 'Reliance Mart' and 'Reliance Super'. The new stores have received an overwhelming response from customers.

 

The company launched its first 'wholesale' format under the name of 'Reliance Market' in Ahmedabad. The format caters to kirana stores, small businesses, restaurants and various other institutional buyers. Encouraged by the success, the company will rapidly expand the format.

 

During the year, two of the company's specialty formats 'Reliance Trends', the apparel specialty format and 'Reliance Digital', the electronics specialty format attained leadership in their respective segments of retail in the market. The two formats have more than doubled their store count in last one year with 'Reliance Trends' and 'Reliance Digital' now operating 90 and 74 stores respectively across the country.

 

In addition, Reliance Retail has rapidly expanded the store network it operates through strategic partnerships, with premium and luxury brands such as Marks and Spencer, Diesel, Timberland, Quiksilver, Roxy and others.

 

The company added 55 new stores under its partnership with Grand Vision taking total store count to over 150 stores making it the fastest growing optical retail chain in the country.

 

During the year, Reliance Brands announced partnerships with:

  • Iconix Brand Group, a brand management company that owns the fashion and home brands such as Ed Hardy, Mossimo, London Fog and Ocean Pacific. The partnership will own the brand rights from the Iconix portfolio for the Indian territory
  • Kenneth Cole to license the merchandise for retail and premium wholesale in India for the American clothing brand
  • Thomas Pink for a franchise arrangement

 

 

Reliance Retail now operates more than 1,300 stores across 18 states and operates over 6.500 million square feet of retail space. The company's loyalty membership program 'Reliance One' has grown to over 9 million members. Reliance Retail will be rolling out more stores in FY 2012-13 which are currently in various stages of construction and planning.
