CORPORATE INFORMATION:

 

The Company is a public limited company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of Companies Act, 1956. Its Shares are listed and traded on Stock exchanges in India. The Company is engaged in exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas.

 

Performance: 2012-13

 

Exploration

During the year, the company made 22 oil and gas discoveries in domestic fields (operated by ONGC). Out of these, 12 discoveries were made in the new prospects whereas 10 were new pool discoveries. Nine discoveries were made in NELP blocks and thirteen in the nomination blocks

 

The 12 new discoveries made during the year are:

• Phulani-1 (Oil) in Assam and Assam Arakan basin,

• Vadatal-5 (Oil and Gas) in Cambay basin,

• Koravaka-1 (Oil and Gas),Bantumilli South-1 (Gas), Mukkamala-1 (Gas)and Vanadurru South-1 (Oil and Gas) in onlandKrishna-Godavari basin,

• KGOSN041NASA-1(Saveri#1, Gas) in KG Offshore,

• KGD051NAA-1 (Gas) in KG deep-water offshore,

• Pandanallur-8 (Oil and Gas), Madanam-3 (Oil and Gas) and Pandanallur-7 (Gas) in onland Cauvery basin and

• MBS051NBA-A (Gas) in Western Offshore basin.

 

The 10 new pool discoveries made during the year are:

• Agartala Dome-37 (Gas) in Assam and Assam-Arakan Fold belt,

• Mandapeta West-12 (Gas) in onland KG basin,

• KG-DWN-98/2-A-2 (Oil and Gas) in KG deep-water offshore,

• C-39-14(Oil and Gas), BH-68 (Oil and Gas), D1-D-1 (Oil) in Mumbai Offshore

• Aliabet-4 (Gas)in Gulf of Cambay, and

• Anklav-9 (Oil), Motera-36 (Oil) and Mansa-36 (Oil) in Western onland.

 

Discoveries in Bantumilli South-1 (Gas) and Vanadurru South-1 (Oil and Gas) have strengthened the prospectivity of the area and have opened up the entire adjoining tract for hydrocarbon exploration. Basement oil and gas discoveries in Madanam-3 (the first hydrocarbon strike in ONGC operated NELP blocks in Cauvery onshore Basin) and Pandanallur-8 (Oil and Gas) discovery in Cauvery onshore Basin and BH-68 (Oil and Gas) in Mumbai offshore has given huge impetus towards basement being a prolific play. KG-DWN-98/2-A-2 (Oil and Gas) discovery in NELP deep-water block KG-DWN-98/2 has given a definite positive fillip to ONGC's efforts towards monetizing discoveries in the Northern Discovery Area (NDA) of this block. This is the first time that a substantial amount of oil has been established in the block. At the same time, the well DWN-U-3 has given the highest quantity of commercial gas i.e., 7 LCMD.

 

New pool discovery (D1-D-1) in N.B. Prasad (D-1) field has been a significant discovery and with this, oil and gas in-place volume of the field has increased to 149 MMT of oil and oil equivalent gas (O+OEG); making it the third largest field after Mumbai High and Neelam-Heera fields. This discovery has already been put on production. In addition to these discoveries, 23 more exploratory wells drilled for delineation/ appraisal of known pays in existing fields proved to be hydrocarbon bearing and have resulted in field growth.

 

Out of 14 onshore discoveries made during 2012-13, four discoveries (Anklav-9, Motera-36, Mandapeta West-12 and Phulani-1) have already been put on production and one discovery (Mansa-36) is under trial production. Efforts are on for bringing the other discoveries on production at the earliest. One discovery in offshore sector (D1-D-1) has also been put on production.

 

Reserve accretion and RRR

The Company accreted 265.65 million metric tonnes of oil equivalent (MMtoe) of In-place volume of hydrocarbon in the domestic basins (operated by ONGC). The ultimate reserves accretion of 84.84 MMtoe is the highest in last 22 years. Total reserve accretion in domestic basins including ONGC's share in PSC JVs stands at 89.08 MMtoe. With a Reserve Replacement Ratio (RRR) of 1.84 (with 3P Reserves), it was the 8 consecutive that the Company has maintained a RRR of more than one.

 

Voluntary disclosures in respect of Oil and Gas Reserves, conforming to SPE classification 1994 and US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB-69) were also made by the Company. The Ultimate Reserve accretion during the year (84.84 MMtoe) has surpassed the record breaking performance of previous fiscal (84.13 MMtoe).

 

Oil and Gas production

It is my pleasure to inform you that during FY'13, the Company has been the largest producer of oil and gas in the country (from its domestic operations) contributing 69 per cent of oil and 62.28 per cent of natural gas production.

 

Oil and Gas production of ONGC Group, including PSC-JVs and from overseas Assets has been 58.71 MMtoe (against 61.18 MMtoe during FY'12). The major reason for this relative drop in production during FY'13 is the geopolitical situation and unrest in Sudan, South Sudan and Syria which direclty affected production from their assets in these countries. At the same time, natural decline in domestic fields has also been a contributing factor to this year's lower production figures.

 

Out of the total production of 30.46 MMT of crude oil, 74 per cent production came from the ONGC operated domestic fields, 14 per cent from the overseas assets and balance 12 percent from domestic joint ventures. As far as natural gas production is concerned majority of production (84 percent) came from ONGC operated domestic fields and of the remaining, 10 per cent came from overseas assets and 6 per cent from domestic joint ventures.

 

Production from overseas assets

ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL), the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has eleven producing assets in eight countries – Venezuela (1), Brazil (1), Colombia (1), Sudan (1), South Sudan (2), Syria (1), Vietnam (1), Russia (2) and Azerbaijan (1).

 

Total production from these overseas assets during FY'13 has been 7.26 MMtoe of O+OEG (Crude oil: 4.34 MMT and Gas: 2.92 BCM). 74 percent of the production was contributed by the assets in Russia (36.5 per cent), Vietnam (29.5 per cent), Sudan and South Sudan (8.3 percent), and the remaining 26 per cent from the assets in Syria, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil and Azerbaijan.

 

New projects

The Board of the Company approved redevelopment of Western Periphery of Mumbai High South and Integrated development of Bassein field during the year with an investment of Rs.41132 millions. Besides this, pipeline replacement Phase-III project in the west coast was also approved with an investment of Rs.25473 millions.

 

During the year, the Company completed four major projects - Construction of new MHN Platform, Revamping of WIN Platform, Low pressure gas processing and compression at Rajahmundry and Additional gas processing facility at Hazira Plant.

 

Financial Results

Despite volatile markets and sharing of highest-ever under-recoveries of Rs.494207 millions during the year, the Company has earned a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs.209257 millions (Rs.251229 millions in 2011-12), down 16.70 percent. During the year, the Company registered Gross revenue of Rs.833090 millions (Rs.768871 millions in 2011-12), up 8.35 percent.

 

Reduction in FY 12 -13 profit as compared to FY 11-12 is primarily due to increase in share of under recoveries (`49,550 Million), additional Cess (Rs.42140 Millions) and exceptional income accounted for in FY 11-12 on account of Royalty adjustment for JV Block with Cairn in Rajasthan, partly offset by increase in gross revenue.

 

It would also be pertinent to mention that the stand-alone PAT of ONGC for 2012-13 contribute more than 86% of the Group’s PAT whereas ONGC (standalone) accounts for just 50.2% of the Group’s revenues. However, if the present trend of under-recoveries and Cess burden on ONGC continues, the profitability and surplus generating capacity of the Company would be affected adversely; thereby may have impact on future growth of the group.

 

Subsidiaries

 

ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL)

ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL), the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for EandP activities outside India, achieved the highest-ever profit (PAT) of `39,291 Million during FY' 13, an increase of 44.4 per cent as compared to the PAT of `27,211 Million during FY'12. OVL's share in production of oil and oil equivalent gas (O+OEG), together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries ONGC Nile Ganga B.V., ONGC Amazon Alaknanda Limited, Imperial Energy Limited and Carabobo One AB, was 7.260 MMtoe during FY'13 as compared to 8.753MMote during FY' 12. The oil production decreased from 6.214 MMT during FY'12 to 4.341 MMT during FY'13 primarily due to the geopolitical situation in Sudan, South Sudan and Syria and the natural decline in different matured fields in Sakhalin-1, Russia, San Cristobal Project, Venezuela and BC-10, Brazil.

 

OVL has resumed its production from Block 5A, South Sudan on April 6, 2013 and from Blocks 1, 2 and 4, South Sudan on April 13, 2013. However, the operations of Al Furat Project (AFPC), Syria would resume only after improvement in geopolitical situations and softening of sanctions. OVL Furat Project presently has participation in 32 assets in 16 countries out of which 11 are producing assets, 5 discovered/ under-development assets, 14 exploratory assets and 2 pipelines.

 

Significant highlights of OVL during FY'13 are:

i. Acquisition of Hess Corporation's 2.7213 per cent participating interest in the Azeri, Chirag and the Deep Water Portion of Guneshli Fields in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea ("ACG") and 2.36 per cent interest in the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan ("BTC") Pipeline was completed on March 28, 2013. The acquisition would bring about 9 per cent additional proved reserves to the portfolio of OVL and daily oil production of about 19,000 barrels (about 0.9 MMT per annum.

ii. OVL has won two exploration blocks in Colombia under Colombian Bid Round 2012 (i) Offshore block Guaoff-2 in Guajira Basin with 100 per cent Participative Interest (PI) and (ii) Onshore Llanos-69 (LLA-69) block in prolific llanos basin of Colombia was won by Mansarovar Energy Colombia Limited (MECL); a 50:50 joint venture between OVL and Sinopec of China.

iii. OVL discovered Oil in the first well of the onshore exploration block CPO-5 in Colombia in which it is the Operator with 70 per cent participating interest. The first of the two commitment wells i.e. Kamal-1 was spudded on October 29, 2012 and drilled up to the target depth of 10,500 feet with oil discovery. The second well is currently under testing with encouraging results.

iv. The development of Lan-Do field in Block 06.1, Vietnam, where OVL has 45 per cent PI, has been completed and the field was put to production on October 7, 2012. The completion of Lan-Do field enhanced the production capacity of the Block 06.1 by 0.20 BCM.

v. OVL has relinquished/ surrendered its interest from three non-operated exploration blocks namely N-25 to 29 and N-36 in Cuba; BM-S-74 and BM-BAR-1, both in Brazil due to unsuccessful exploratory wells.

vi. Project Carabobo-1 in Venezuela is under development and had started early production in January 2013.

vii. OVL made an inaugural US$ bond offering in international capital market with a duel tranche US$ 800 million Notes in April, 2013 to part finance the ACG and BTC acquisition. The offering was well received with the order book closing at about US$ 3 billion. The 5 year tranche of US$ 300 million was priced at a spread of 190 basis point above the 5 year US treasury at yield of 2.574 per cent per annum and the 10 year tranche of US$ 500 million was priced at a spread of 210 basis point above the 10 year US treasury at yield of 3.756 per cent per annum. This inaugural bond offering, guaranteed by the parent company ONGC, represents the largest REG-S only issuance by an Indian issuer in the US$ bond markets at the lowest coupon rates and has set a benchmark in pricing by Indian issuer.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

The Economy

Post 2008 global economic crisis, the growth and direction of recovery of the economies of the world manifested a clear dichotomy - if, on one hand, the recovery in developed world has been weak and hesitant on the other hand, the economic reality and outlook in emerging countries remained comparatively stronger and more stable. However, in the wake of the on-going Euro zone crisis, another dimension has emerged in the current context of the global economic order as owing to the distinctive nature of its collective economy, Euro zone seems to be gradually decoupling from the US and rest of the developed world. Global economy, which grew by 3.2% in 2012, mainly driven by the emerging markets and developing economies, is forecasted to grow at a rate of 3.3% in 2013. However, maintaining this growth rate may be a challenge due to impediments and deeper-than-expected complexities in Euro zone. A recession-gripped Euro economy has the potential for bearing significant political risks in peripheral economies.

 

The three biggest economies of the world - USA, China and Japan are at economic crossroads despite fiscal and monetary policy initiatives. In USA, fiscal tightening and the planned withdrawal of Fed Bank stimulus runs the risk of curtailing growth. China's policy dilemma of maintaining GDP growth has its own complexities. Despite rapid credit expansion, Chinese GDP witnessed a slow start in 2013. Japanese government's money creation move may look to be necessary; however, it carries with it the risk of adversely affecting global economy.

 

World Economic Outlook, April 2013 (International Monetary Fund publication) projects that the global economy will grow @ 4% during 2014. USA is expected to grow @ 1.9% in 2013 and its growth rate is expected to move up to 2.8% in 2014 and further to 3% in 2015. Some good expansion in Euro zone and acceleration of the Japanese economy (projected to grow at a rate of 1.6% in 2013) may also buoy the recovery.

 

Emerging economies are projected to lead the global recovery. China, though witnessed slowing of growth in Q1 2013 to 7.7% and thereby sparking off the weakening of global expansion, it is expected to achieve 8% growth in 2013 and 8.2% in 2014, both better than what was targeted in 2012 (@7.8%). India is expected to steer South Asia's regional growth. It is projected to grow at 5.7% and 6.2% in 2013 and 2014 respectively.

 

However, the recent US Federal Reserves' announcement of winding up of US$ 85 billion-a-month bond-buying programme has resulted in the exit of hot money from the emerging markets. Due to the exit of foreign investors, local currencies in most of the emerging economies have depreciated alarmingly. India is not an exception. Compared to beginning of April 2013, Rupee depreciated by more than 11% against US Dollar within a period of less than three months (April to late June 2013); and compared to beginning of the fiscal 2012-13 it slipped by more than 18% in June 2013. Depreciation of local currencies has wide ramifications not only on the national economy but also on global economy. All growth forecasts, even for the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), may require a downward revision.

 

As far as India is concerned, strengthening of exports and private investment (which slowed down in 2012) now becomes imperative. At the same time structural policy and fiscal reforms are must as Rupee devaluation may have a cascading effect on current account deficit in view of increasing oil import bills. Weakening of the manufacturing sector, stubbornly high inflationary pressures and structural bottlenecks have all the potential to adversely impact investment and growth.

 

However, some of the recent moves of the Government such as the newly instituted Cabinet Committee on Investments to expedite decisions on approvals/ clearances for implementation of major infrastructure projects, proposed increase of gas prices and gradual decontrol of diesel prices have infused optimism and confidence about the overall economic climate. These reforms could well contribute effectively towards addressing the fiscal deficit situation of the country.

 

Operational performance

The company has yet again retained its dominant position in FY'13 in E&P business in India. During FY'13, ONGC has been the largest producer of oil and gas in the country contributing 69% of oil production and 62% of natural gas production.

 

The company has been able to sustain production levels from domestic as well as overseas fields through innovative solutions.

 

Total production during FY'13 (including overseas assets) has been 58.71 MMtoe of oil and oil equivalent gas; slightly lower than the production during FY'12 (61.18 MMtoe) mainly on account of lower production from South Sudan and Syria due to geo-political reasons. Natural decline in domestic matured fields have also been the reason for lower production.

 

Outlook

a. Exploration acreage and mining Lease

The Company holds the largest exploration acreage in India as an operator. It has 16 nomination blocks (43,056 Sq.Km) and is presently operating 74 NELP blocks (308,296 Sq.Km) and 4 CBM blocks covering an area of 875 Sq.Km. In addition ONGC has participative interest in 10 NELP blocks where it is not the operator. Exploration/ appraisal of all these blocks is underway except for four blocks falling in the state of Nagaland/ DAB area where activities have been suspended awaiting signing of MOU with the Nagaland State government/ resolution of border dispute between Nagaland and Assam states and 19 offshore blocks where Ministry of Defence (MoD) clearance is conditional or denied. The Company is also the largest Mining Lease holder in the country with 348 blocks with total area of 54,879 Sq.Km.

 

b. NELP discoveries

The Company has made 35 discoveries in 18 NELP blocks operated by ONGC (as on March 31, 2013); 15 in deep-water, 8 in shallow water and 12 in onshore areas. Out of these 35, nine discoveries were made during FY'13. Commencement of production from these discoveries is governed by stipulations laid down in the respective PSCs and is to be taken up after successful completion of appraisal programme followed by submission of commerciality and approval of Field Development Plan.

 

c. Deep-water exploration

The Company has taken structured initiatives towards deep-water exploration. So far ONGC has made 35 deep-water discoveries (7 oil and gas and 28 gas discoveries) and has drilled 104 deep-water wells as on March 31, 2013. In FY'13 alone, 14 wells have been drilled and 7 out of that were found to be hydrocarbon bearing.

 

The company has made 7 significant discoveries in the NELP block KG-DWN-98/2 which has been divided into two discovery areas - Northern Discovery Area (NDA) and Southern Discovery Area (SDA). Proposals for Declaration of Commerciality (DOC) for both the areas were submitted on July 15, 2010 and December 21, 2009 respectively. However, for further appraisal of the block, on ONGC's request, exploration period has been extended up to December 29, 2013. The Company has already drilled 4 out of 8 wells planned under appraisal programme. A-2 (oil and gas) discovery in the block has given a big positive fillip to the ONGC's efforts towards monetizing discoveries in Northern Discovery Area (NDA) of this block.

 

This is the first time that substantial amount of oil has been established in this block. At the same time the well DWN-U-3 has given the highest quantity of commercial gas i.e., 7 LCMD. Revised DOCs would be submitted after completion of the additional drilling programme. After approval of the DOCs, the Company will prepare detailed Field Development Programme (FDP).

 

The Company has also made significant discoveries in NELP block MN-DWN-98/3 in Mahanadi Basin. As per the request of ONGC, exploration programme of the block has been extended up to November 18, 2013. Two wells have already been drilled against the plan of 5 wells and both the wells have indicated presence of gas. Based on the results of the appraisal of the block, the Company will revisit the DOC and after necessary approvals go ahead with preparation of FDP for the block.

 

d. Development of new fields

The company is developing 37 new fields through 13 projects with an estimated investment of Rs.342.23 billion. G-1 and GS-15 fields, off Eastern offshore, are being developed in an integrated manner. Production from GS-15 has already started and G-1 field is expected to be on commence production by Sept' 2013. Production from the fields under projects B-22 Cluster, B- 46 Cluster, C-Series, North Tapti and additional development of N.B. Prasad (D-1) field has already commenced. In FY'13

North Tapti field development project was completed. Seven out of 13 projects are expected to be completed this year and the remaining five in subsequent years.

 

In addition, Vasistha (VA) and S-1 fields have been planned to be developed in integrated manner and are likely to come on stream by 2015. Considering the potential of C-23, C-26 and B-12 fields (Daman project) ONGC revisited the development schedule of the project and prioritized it to put the field on stream three years earlier than scheduled and now it is expected to come on stream by 2014-15. G-4 field is planned to be developed by sharing the spare capacity available in the existing infrastructure of Reliance Industries in KG D6 field and production from this project is likely to commence by end of the 12th Plan.

 

e. IOR/EOR and Redevelopment projects

Prudent reservoir management is the cornerstone of success for an E&P company. The Company is aware of it and the same has been one of its strong areas of focus. Today, more than 70 per cent of ONGC's domestic production is contributed by 15 major fields which are of vintage of 25 to 50 years. Technology intensive Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) and Enhanced

 

Oil Recovery (EOR) and Redevelopment schemes have been adopted for these 15 major fields since 2000 with the objective to maintain production levels and improve recovery factor, and encouragingly enough, these efforts have produced the desired results. In the case of Mumbai High field, the second phase of redevelopment is nearing completion. In the two phases of redevelopment of Mumbai high, the Company targeted an incremental oil gain of around 93 MMT by 2030 against which they have already achieved around 47 MMT (up to March 31, 2013). Buoyed by this success, ONGC has adopted a policy of rolling redevelopment scheme for the major fields. The third phase of Mumbai High field redevelopment, with an estimated investment of around Rs.170 billion, is under finalization. Besides that, continuous efforts in the areas of MEOR (Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery) application in high temperature reservoirs, development of reservoir specific and crude oil specific thermophilic, anaerobic bacterial culture bank for enhanced oil recovery, exploitation of basement reservoirs, exploitation of tight plays, cyclic steam stimulation to strengthen In-situ combustion process, MEOR flooding, etc., are being made towards prudent reservoir management.

 

During FY'13 two more IOR projects- development of Western Periphery of Mumbai High South (MHS) Field and IOR of B-173A field have been taken up. By the end of FY'13, 16 out of 24 IOR/EOR and redevelopment projects have been completed. During FY'13 these projects contributed an incremental oil gain of 7.94 MMT. Cumulative incremental gain so far has been 79.94 MMT. As of March 31, 2013 the Company has invested Rs.310.81 billion in these schemes against planned investment of Rs.413.16 billion.

 

f. Infrastructure creation

Acknowledging the significance of its existing infrastructure and production pursuits, the company is also investing towards improving the integrity of existing facilities and creating new facilities as well to handle additional production volumes. At present the company is implementing 20 projects with an investment of Rs.206.74 billion.

 

g. Unconventional and alternate sources of energy

Committed to grow as an integrated energy company, ONGC has prioritized exploration and development of unconventional sources and development of alternate sources of energy. The major thrust areas are -

 

i. Exploration of shale plays

The company was the first to establish shale gas presence in India and has also supported Govt. of India in assessing shale gas potential in the country. ONGC has prioritized Cambay basin for initiating a pilot for shale gas exploration which is planned to be carried out in 2013-14. Concurrently two more pilots, one in KG Basin and another in Cauvery Basin, have also been planned in 2014-15. Anticipating positive results from the initial pilots, shale exploration and exploitation activities are likely to pick up from 2015-16 onwards.

 

ii. Coal Bed Methane (CBM)

The Company is operating four CBM blocks in Jharia, Bokaro, North Karanpura and Raniganj. For all the 4 blocks, development plans have been submitted; however, approval from the Government of India is awaited. Nearly 400 wells completion and 2,000 hydro-fracturing jobs have to be carried out in the coming 4-5 years as per timelines of the CBM Contract. In view of the mammoth and time bound task, ONGC has decided to farm-in experienced partners to execute the operations, the process for which is at an advanced stage.

 

iii. Underground Coal Gasification (UCG)

The company is also pursuing Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) and for this, Vastan Mine block in Surat district of Gujarat has been identified for the pilot project. Environmental clearance for the project has been obtained from Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India and request has been submitted to Ministry of Coal for award of Mining Lease which is awaited. The company in association with Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited (NLC) has identified Tadkeshwar in Gujarat and Hodu-Sindhari and East Kurla in Rajasthan, for UCG pursuits. One more site has been identified in association with GMDC at Surkha in Bhavnagar district, Gujarat. The data of all the fields have already been analysed for evaluating the suitability of these sites for UCG and all the sites have been found suitable for UCG.

 

iv. Alternate sources of energy

The Company is also pursuing green energy options. Though the Company is already generating wind power of 51 MW, another 102 MW wind farm is likely to be commissioned in 2014. ONGC Energy Centre (OEC), a trust set up by the Company, has contemplated a Geothermal Pilot Project in association with technology partner M/s. Talboom, Belgium in Cambay Basin, which has a high geothermal gradient. Further, OEC in association with M/S Natural Power Concepts (NPC), Hawaii, USA has identified a site near Koyna Dam in Maharashtra for Kinetic Hydro Power Generation project. In this project, North Eastern Electrical Power Corporation (NEEPCO) has agreed to facilitate OEC in conducting field trials in the tail-races of their dams in Assam and Nagaland.

 

v. Uranium exploration

ONGC Energy Center (OEC) is exploring for uranium prospects, suitable for exploitation by "In-situ Leaching" (ISL) in collaboration with Atomic Minerals Directorate (AMD), the exploratory arm of Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. Ten parametric wells have been completed in KG Basin and Cauvery Basin. In addition, 12 wells have further been planned - 7 wells in Suket Region near Jhalawar in Rajasthan and 5 wells in Kaikalur-Lingala area of KG Basin.

ONGC SIGNS MOU WITH RIL ON EASTERN OFFSHORE FACILITY SHARING ARRANGEMENT

 

Dated: July 28, 2013

 

Mumbai July 27: In a significant move that may open up new opportunities in India’s quest of energy security, the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has inked a Memorandum of Understanding with the Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) to explore the possibility of sharing the latter’s infrastructural facility in the East Coast.

 

The MoU aims at working out the modalities for sharing of infrastructure, identifying additional requirements as well as firming up the commercial terms.

 

This shall not only minimize ONGC’s initial Capex but also expedite its field development resulting in early monetization of its deep water fields adjacent to the fields of RIL.

 

ONGC, the country’s largest oil and gas producer, has drawn a roadmap to make substantial investment over a period of next five years both in exploration and developmental activities, and deepwater exploration and development constitutes a major component of the same. Under this plan, ONGC has a conservative estimate to produce about 6 to 9 MMSCMD of gas by mid-2017 from G-4, KG-DWN - D & E fields in the first phase.

 

The companies intend to enter into a formal agreement after conducting a joint study which will be spread over the next nine months.

 

The MoU was signed by Mr. Ashok Varma, Executive Director, Asset Manager Eastern Offshore Asset, ONGC and Mr. Naresh K Narang, Sr. Vice President, Development Projects, Petroleum E&P, RIL in the presence of Chairman Mr. Sudhir Vasudeva, Director (Offshore) Mr. P.K. Borthakur and Director (Exploration) Mr. N K Verma from ONGC and Mr. P.M. S Prasad, Executive Director from RIL.

 

ONGC CMD Mr. Sudhir Vasudeva said that it is a win- win situation not only for both the companies which are striving hard to accrete new reserves and put them on production at the quickest time but also for energy starved nation. Vasudeva and PMS Prasad agreed that it is an uphill task ahead and today’s MoU is just the beginning.
