MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

The year 2011 witnessed some significant developments which hampered growth prospects, including several events in the gas industry as well, like spiraling LNG prices on account of natural disasters hitting Japan, drastic reduction in the gas production from one of India's biggest gas finds – RIL's KG D6 fields and significant depreciation of India Rupee against US Dollar.

 

Accordingly, the Indian economy also suffered a slowdown compared not just to the previous two years but 2003 to 2011 (except 2008-9). As per Economic Survey 2011-12, the Indian economy is estimated to grow by 6.9% in 2011-12, after having grown at the rate of 8.4% in each of the 2 preceding years. The Economic Survey 2011-12, goes on to mention that one of the foremost challenges in the coming years is to meet the energy requirement and the 12 Plan projections made by the Planning Commission indicate that for a GDP growth rate of 9% p.a., energy supply has to grow at around 6.5% p.a.

 

As per data published by the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC), in 2011-12 natural gas production from Domestic fields reduced by about 10% y-o-y, while the LNG Imports in to India increased from 8.86 MMT in 2010-11 to 10.13 MMT in 2011-12 (i.e. an increase by 14% on y-o-y basis).

 

Moreover, with only GSPC'S DDW field set for commercial production in the near future and burgeoning demand of gas in the country, LNG is set to play a pivotal role in bridging the demand-supply gap in India. Though India has recently finalized import of Gas through Turkmenistan-Afghanistan- Pakistan-India (TAPI) Pipeline, the increase in availability of supplies through such transnational pipeline shall take a few years to materialize.

 

Gujarat State Petronet Limited (GSPL), a subsidiary of GSPCL, was awarded Letter of Authorization (LoA) for development of three cross country pipelines namely, Mehsana-Bhatinda pipeline, Bhatinda-Jammu-Srinagar pipelines and Mallavaram–Bhilwara pipelines traversing across more than 100 cities. With fall in domestic gas production and no major discovery expected soon, such cross country pipelines proposed to be developed by companies like GSPL can be optimally utilized by imported natural gas. Hence, import of LNG is the only feasible option to meet gas burgeoning demand of natural gas in the country.

 

India's gas market creates / offers a lot of opportunities for LNG trading, as LNG constitutes almost 30% of the natural gas being consumed in the country. Further, with PLL and HLPL in the process of expanding their LNG import and regassification capacities at Dahej and Hazira respectively and new terminals being set up / proposed to be set up at Kochi, Dabhol, Ennore, Mundra, Pipavav, Gangavaram and Kakinada are set to add significant LNG Import capacity of India shall grow from existing 13.7 MMTPA to more than 50 MMTPA, thereby corroborating the fact that LNG imports and LNG trading are set to increase substantially and on a macro level gas availability may improve significantly.

 

The Company's various initiatives in promotion and participation of business activities which provide synergistic value, complement well with the growing opportunities in LNG trading. GSPC in its role as a demand aggregator has been making significant efforts towards building a LNG import terminal.

 

 

E&P BUSINESS : PRODUCING ASSETS

 

Oil and gas production volumes, which depend on the yield from the company's producing fields, have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations. Currently, all of their producing fields are within the Cambay basin, where company holds participating interests in 15 producing fields. The Cambay basin is a maturing resource province with declining production levels, especially of gas. The volume of production from oil and gas fields generally declines as reserves are depleted with ongoing production.

 

The Company also intends to continue exploration activities in its existing exploration blocks to discover new oil and gas reserves for development. The company's future production will be significantly dependent upon success in finding and developing reserves in a timely and cost effective manner.

 

 

ASSETS UNDER DEVELOPMENT

 

The company's primary asset is its KG- OSN-2001/3 block, located offshore in the KG basin, off the east coast of Andhra Pradesh, India, which includes the Deen Dayal field. The Deen Dayal Field is a high temperature, high pressure (HTHP) tight and deep gas field with a complex structural / stratigraphic trap involving several separate fault blocks associated with rift geology. One fault block (DDW) has been approved for development, while another discovery area DDE has recently been appraised with drilling and testing of two appraised with drilling and testing of two appraisal wells and confirmed as a gas bearing area. Several discoveries in other areas require further appraisal and study before becoming part of a long term plan for developing the greater field. The development strategy for Deen Dayal West consists of a Well head Platform (WHP) bridge-linked to a Processing and Living Quarter Platform (PLQP). The Company has appointed reputed project management consultants, to co-ordinate the overall construction and development work for DDW Development Project.

 

The company's future production will be significantly dependent upon its success and timely execution of the FDP for DDW. Moreover, GOI has granted additional 20.5 sq. km area towards south of DDW Field beyond the block boundary, associated with extension of DDW area for development (under extended Mining Lease area). Following GOI approval of this extension area, the total development area for DDW is in the order of 37.5 sq. km, for which an additional development, plan is being submitted to DGH/GOI.

 

Alongside development of DDW area, an appraisal plan is concurrently being undertaken involving drilling and testing of appraisal wells in other discovery areas in DDE, DDW Downthrown etc. The outcome of the campaign would enable the company to ascertain commerciality potential of these areas, based on which an integrated declaration of commerciality for these fields is being prepared and submitted to DGH/GOI. Subsequent to GoI approval, an FDP formulated for these fields will be submitted.

PETRONET EYES 25% STAKE IN TERMINAL OF GUJARAT STATE PETROLEUM CORPORATION

 

NEW DELHI: Petronet LNG Limited, a private company promoted by state-run oil firms for sourcing liquid gas in ships, is looking at picking up a 25% stake in a new gas import terminal being planned by Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation.


Company MD A K Balyan said Petronet has put in an expression of interest for the stake in the terminal being envisaged with a capacity to import five million tonne of liquid gas in a year.


"As leading LNG (liquefied natural gas) player in the country, we find synergies in taking stake in the planned terminal," Balyan said adding the final investment decision would depend on due diligence and other details.

 

GSPC is planning to build the terminal at Mundra in the state and would hold 50% in the project. Edible oils and power-to-infrastructure conglomerate Adani Group would take the remaining 25%.


Petronet reported almost flat net profit at Rs 2451.000 Millions in the March quarter against Rs 2451.000 Millions in the previous corresponding period. The profits were down because of lower volumes of tolling gas cargoes imported by others such as GAIL and GSPC at its Dahej terminal, Balyan said.


Dahej terminal output at 122 trillion British thermal units was lower than 135 Trillion BTUs in the last quarter as state-owned GAIL and GSPC imported lesser gas because of international prices shooting up to $18-19 per unit, company director (finance) R K Garg said.


For the 2012-13 fiscal, Petronet reported highest-ever net profit of Rs 11493.000 Millions, up 8. 7% over Rs 10575.000 Millions in the previous fiscal. Balyan said its Dahej terminal operated at more than 100% capacity throughout the year.

 

Petronet, he said, has mechanically completed construction of the five million tonne LNG import terminal at Kochi in Kerala and plans to commission it "sometime in July".


The Kochi terminal, however, will operate at just 12% of its capacity in the current fiscal as pipelines taking gas to customers are not ready, he said adding the company plans to import 4-5 shiploads of LNG at the terminal in 2013-14.

Next fiscal, the terminal is expected to operate at 75% capacity when pipeline connecting Kochi to Mangalore and Bangalore are built, Balyan said adding GAIL is planning to connect this pipeline to Chennai.


Also, Petronet plans to expand the Dahej terminal to 15 million tonne for which contracts are expected to be awarded by September. "The company has completed various pre-project activities and is working towards short-listing of potential contractors for construction of another five million tonne terminal at Gangavaram in Andhra Pradesh," Balyan.

 

 

GSPC SPENT RS 39239.600 MILLIONS IN LAST TWO YEARS ON EXPLORATION IN KG BASIN

 

MAR 12, 2013

 

AHMEDABAD: Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation (GSPC) has spent Rs 39239.600 Millions in last two years on exploration in KG basin. No production has started in the KG basin blocks of the GSPC as yet.

 

This was stated by energy and petrochemical minister Saurabh Patel in a reply to a question in the state assembly on Monday. The said that expenses were incurred on activities like analysis of information on sea, geographical and scientific analysis, along with exploration and testing of two developed wells.

 

On the issue of progress of exploration activities in the KG basin, Patel said that activities like purchase of gas turbines, laying of a submarine pipeline, production of onshore gas terminal, were being carried out.
A Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) report had slammed Gujarat government last year for almost ruining the once blue chip state public sector unit GSPC by numerous faulty investments and destructive administrative decisions and causing a loss of around Rs 70000.000 Millions of Gujarat's taxpayers.

 

 

KG BASIN OPERATIONS: GSPC ON HUNT FOR FOREIGN PARTNER

 

NOV 19, 2012

 

GANDHINAGAR: Top Gujarat government is exploring the possibility of handing over its KG Basin operations to a foreign partner. Just 2 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas has been found at the basin as against the initial announcement made by chief minister Narendra Modi of 20 tcf in 2005. A well-placed Gujarat state government bureaucrat closely monitoring the state blue chip company Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation's (GSPC) future plans told TOI that "GSPC has reached the conclusion that it does not have the technical knowhow to extract even 2 tcf gas."

 

The official said, a proposal is under preparation in the government to begin talks with foreign oil-and-gas exploration companies who have the technology to ensure that the gas found by GSPC is finally recovered. "There are only three companies in the world who have the capacity to work in high temperature high pressure conditions prevailing in the off-shore wells drilled by GSPC. These are Exxon, Shell and British Petroleum. It is possible to hand over anywhere between 30 and 50 per cent of the GSPC's stakes in KG basin, off Andhra Pradesh coast", the official said.

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/images/pixel.gif

However, the official pointed out, negotiations with these oil-and-gas majors will have to be held "very carefully", as none of the three multinational companies (MNCs) will be ready to take over the GSPC's past liabilities in KG Basin, which has led the company into a deep debt of Rs 80000.000 Millions. "Our preliminary groundwork suggests they may be ready to take over oil-and-gas exploration in KG Basin now onwards, including its commercial production, which is planned to begin next year. Foreign knowhow is badly required for this", the official said.

 

The official further said, "The Government of India, especially DG Hydrocarbons, the Central body which monitors oil-and-gas explorations in India, has no objection to GSPC willing to hand over its operations to a foreign company. Only, necessary clearances will have to be obtained." Significantly, it is DG Hydrocarbons only which put a stop to GSPC and Gujarat government's tall claim that about 20 tcf gas - valuing about Rs 50 billion dollars in 2005 - had been discovered in the KG Basin by GSPC, declaring the total find is not more than 2 tcf.

 

The official said that the past hype of 20 tcf was based on estimates by top US consultants, DeGolyer and MacNaughton's (D&M's). "D&M's estimates were of gas explored. There is a difference between how much has been explored and how much is recoverable. We believe 2 tcf is recoverable. This would be equal to 10 billion dollars. With a foreign partner digging more wells, things may improve."

 

 

BRITISH GAS SELLS GUJARAT GAS TO GSPC FOR 2.4K CR

 

GANDHINAGAR: State-owned Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation (GSPC) on Wednesday signed an agreement to acquire British Gas's (BG) 65.12 % stake in its Indian subsidiary Gujarat Gas Company for Rs 24640.000 Millions.


The agreement was reached after hectic negotiations in Singapore, where BG finally agreed to sell its stake in GGCL for 295 per share, according to a GSPC release. GSPC's 100% subsidiary Gujarat Distribution Networks will acquire BG's stake in GGCL.


GSPC reached the agreement with BG after its consortium partners Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL), two central public sector undertakings, decided not to be part of the negotiations. Both ONGC and BPCL were part of the previous round of negotiations in July this year. While the central PSUs were not very keen to offer more than Rs 240 per share, GSPC had shown readiness to make concessions.

 

"We were in a hurry to seal the deal. In case of our consortium partners ONGC and BPCL, there were procedural delays. We are willing to pass on equity to the central PSUs as and when their respective boards approve it," said minister of state for power Saurabh Patel.


Negotiations between GSPC and BG broke down in July after GSPC, under pressure from ONGC and BPCL, sought to bring down the price of per share to Rs 270, while BG executives insisted on a higher valuation.


During the course of the divestment process, two Ahmedabad-based corporates, Torrent and Adani, were prevented from bidding for BG's stake by senior state government officials, say sources close to the development.

 

 

GUJARAT STATE PETROLEUM RAISES RS 30000.000 MILLIONS FROM BOND MARKET

 

GANDHINAGAR, SEPTEMBER 27:  

 

The State-promoted Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited (GSPC) has raised Rs 30000.000 Millions from the bond market to meet the capital expenditure requirements for the ongoing exploration and production (E&P) activities, and to re-finance the existing higher cost short-term loans.

 

GSPC has entered the bond market for raising Rs 30000.000 Millions of corporate debt by issuing three different bonds having maturities of 8, 10 and 60 years, respectively. “The issue met with an overwhelming response from the financial market and against the total size of Rs 30000.000 Millions (including green-shoe option of Rs 15000.000 Millions), the total bids were received for Rs 101000.000 Millions,” a company official said here.

 

The 8-year and 10-year bonds were rated as ‘AA’ by CRISIL and ‘AA+’ by CARE. For the 60-year bonds, the ratings assigned by the two agencies were ‘AA-’ and ‘AA,’ respectively.

 

Despite the challenges of current financial market conditions, all bonds were raised at “very competitive” interest rates of 9.39 per cent for 8-year bonds, 9.45 per cent for 10-year bonds and 10.45 per cent for 60-year bonds. These are among the lowest rates for this rating category of bonds in the last one year. “In fact, till date, only Tata Power and Tata Steel have been able to raise funds through the perpetual/60-year term bonds and the interest payable by GSPC is lowest-ever in this segment,” the official said.

 

According to a company statement, this became possible due to a transparent process which involved “very aggressive” bidding response from the top merchant bankers of the debt market in India.

 

IPO

 

GSPC had been trying to raise about Rs 40000.000 Millions via the IPO route to fund its activities in the Krishna-Godavari Basin, but had to postpone its efforts in the last five years. In 2010, it tied up for Rs 30000.000 Millions term loans through a consortium of 15 banks led by Bank of Baroda, to finance its Deen Dayal West (DDW) field in the K-G Basin on the coast of Andhra Pradesh, and develop it for commercial production.
