Unsecured loan of INR 5343.000 Millions (Previous Year: INR 5539.475 Millions) is to be paid in variable installments over a period upto Financial Year 2015-2016.

 

During the year Company had raised funds through External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) from ENI Finance International of USD 60 Million (INR equivalent 3288.000 Millions) to be paid in variable installments over a period up to 2018-2019 starting from June 2014.

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

During the year, the Company produced 0.83 mmboe of crude oil and gas (previous year 1.05 mmboe), the decrease being on account of the buyer, GAIL India Limited, being unable to off-take PY-1 Gas for 135 days due to shut-down/limitation of downstream consumer; and (b) unexpected behavior of PY-1 reservoir marked by water breakthrough and accelerated depletion. The lower production has resulted in a Turnover of INR 1,088 million for the year, a decrease of 24% over the previous year. The Revenue for the year was INR 1,204 million, a decrease of 29% over the previous year, for the aforesaid reasons.

 

On a standalone basis, the Loss-Before-Tax was INR 5,939 million.  This is due to recognition of impairment loss and charging off of additional depreciation pursuant to reduction in PY-1 Reserves as certified by an independent 3rd Party in January 2013.

 

Provision for tax reflects the deferred tax asset created on carried forward business losses and unabsorbed depreciation to the extent of deferred tax liability as at March 31, 2013.

 

During the year, the Company had a Loss-After- Tax of INR 5,508.000 million compared to Profit-After-Tax of INR 335.000 million during the previous year.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, DEVELOPMENT AND OPPORTUNITIES

 

FY 2012-2013 saw a slowdown in the growth of energy consumption globally, partly as a result of the economic slowdown but also because individuals and businesses have responded to high prices by becoming more efficient in their use of energy. Brazil, China, the EU, India, Japan, Russia and the US all saw below-average growth in energy consumption. Indeed, consumption growth of all forms of fossil energy was below average.

 

On the supply side, the world witnessed supply of energy coming from an increasing diversity of sources as the energy market continues to adapt, innovate and evolve. The most noticeable phenomenon remains the American shale gas revolution. In 2012, the US recorded the largest oil and natural gas production increases in the world, and saw the largest gain in oil production in its history. Elsewhere, for a second year, disruptions to oil supply in Africa and parts of the Middle East were offset by growth among OPEC producers. Libyan production recovered strongly after the sharp drop in output in FY 2011-2012, and Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar all produced at record levels. However, despite these supply increases, oil prices reached another record high. Coal remained the fastest-growing fossil fuel, with China consuming half of the world’s coal for the first time – but it was also the fossil fuel that saw the weakest growth relative to its historical average. While natural gas grew at a below-average rate, it was the only fossil fuel to see consumption growth accelerate in 2012. Cheaper natural gas competed strongly with coal in North America, displacing it as a power feedstock. Hydroelectric and renewable energy also competed strongly against coal globally; renewables in power generation grew by 15%. However in Europe, where gas was relatively expensive, coal was often the fuel of choice for power generation, while the LNG tankers that used to supply Europe turned towards Asia. Global nuclear power output had the largest decline ever, with Japanese output falling by nearly 90% as the response to the tragedy at Fukushima continued to unfold. Fossil fuel imports rose to compensate.

 

In these and many other ways, FY 2012-2013 highlighted the flexibility of the world’s energy market and the innovative approaches that consumers and producers take in response to change. Despite the slowdown, consumption and production reached record levels for all fuels except nuclear power and biofuels.

 

Energy price developments were mixed. Brent, the international crude oil benchmark, saw annual average prices reach record levels (in money-of-the-day terms), although annual prices declined slightly on an inflation-adjusted basis. Crude oil prices eased in the face of rising output in the US, Libya, and other OPEC producers. Oil production growth in the US was the largest in the world in 2012. In response, the differential between Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) reached another record premium, although the gap began to narrow later in the year as infrastructure bottlenecks in the US eased. Natural gas prices rose in Europe and Asia, but fell in North America, where rising US natural gas output pushed gas prices to record discounts against both crude oil and international gas prices.

 

Despite global slowdown, Indian energy sector remains poised for a rapid growth as resource augmentation and growth in energy supply have failed to meet the domestic demand. India continues to import more than 70% of its Crude Oil requirements with its oil import bill being close to USD 157 billion in FY 2012-2013. Further given India’s targeted GDP growth, India’s need for primary energy is likely to more than double by the year 2020.

 

In this context, the exploration and production of domestic oil and gas assume a critical dimension for India’s energy security and economic growth. In a high demand growth scenario coupled with the fact that India remains vastly unexplored territory with only 20% of its sedimentary basins been moderately explored and developed, the Oil and Gas sector in India presents significant opportunity to the industry.

 

OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

 

The Company’s activities relate to exploration and production (based on exploration success) of hydrocarbons (crude oil and natural gas), which are natural resources. HOEC assets are geographically spread across India with a portfolio of exploration, development and production projects.

 

PRODUCT-WISE PERFORMANCE

 

The Company’s aggregate production during the FY 2012-2013 was 833,551 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) (crude oil: 61,163 bbls; gas: 121,052,906 scm) as against 1,052,304 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) (crude oil: 145,102 bbls; gas: 142,641,782 scm) during the previous year. The decrease in production is

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

REVENUE

 

Turnover for the FY 2012-2013 was INR 1,088 million as compared to INR 1,440 million of previous year, a decrease of 24%. This decrease is primarily on account of lower production for reasons as detailed in the section ‘Operations Review’ of the Management Discussion and Analysis Report. The Company’s Production on working interest basis during the year was 833,551 boe (2,284 boepd), 21% lower than the previous year. The Production on net entitlement basis to the Company was 2,258 boepd for the FY 2012-2013.

 

Other Income for the FY 2012-2013 was INR 116 million as compared to INR 250 million in the previous year; the decrease is explained by the Income Tax refund amounting to INR 74 million accounted in the previous year (FY 2012-2013: Nil) and the lower dividend income from current investments.

 

The average sale price of crude oil was USD 104/bbl (FY 2011-2012: USD 112/bbl) and net gas price realisation for PY-1 remained at USD 3.63 per mmbtu.

Note:

 

The Company is primarily engaged in a single business segment of “Hydrocarbons and Other Incidental Services”. All the activities of the Company are around the main business. Further, the Company does not have any separate geographic segments other than India. Hence, there are no separate reportable segments as per AS-17 “Segmental Reporting”.

 

PY-3 Field, operated by Hardy Exploration & Production (India) Inc., remains shut since July 31, 2011. The Full Field Development Plan submitted by the Operator during May 2013 has been technically reviewed by all the JV Partners. Discussions are ongoing amongst the Joint Venture Partners with respect to the proposal to proportionately share cess and royalty on a cost recoverable basis.

 

PY-1 Field was shut in for a period of 3.65 days during Q3 FY 2014 as against 25 days during Q2 FY 2014 on account of non evacuation of gas by GAIL (Buyer). Following the Amendment to the Gas Sales Contract which had been executed in July 2013, GAIL has been evacuating gas through the low pressure pipeline connecting PY-1 Gas Terminal to alternate consumers on a nearly continuous basis

 

Exceptional item for the previous period ended December 31, 2012 and the previous year ended March 31, 2013 represented additional depletion and impairment loss aggregating to INR 57,197 lacs charged to the statement of profit and loss due to reduction in the Proved Reserves of PY-1 Field pursuant to an independent third party certification of PY-1 Field Reserves based on information available subsequent to the drilling of Surya Well. While estimating the future cash flows for determining the value-in-use of PY-1 Asset as per AS 28, the Company had considered a natural gas price of USD 5/MMBtu from 2015 onwards.

 

In accordance with the accounting policy followed by the Company, the impairment assessment has been reviewed as at December 31, 2013 and currently no revision seems to be necessary to the amounts recognised in the previous year in view of the following factors:

 

- As the update to the Reservoir Study is delayed, the Company continues to rely on the independent third party certification of PY-1Field Reserves made in January 2013.

- Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas has issued the 'Domestic Natural Gas Pricing Guidelines, 2014' which shall be effective from April

 

As per the Company’s Accounting Policy, the survey costs are initially capitalized as ‘Exploration Expenditure” and are retained in exploration expenditure-work-in-progress and subsequently transferred to “Producing Properties” when the well is ready to commence commercial production or expensed off if the exploration activity is determined to be unsuccessful.

 

The Hon’ble Mumbai ITAT had, vide its order dated September 17, 2013, passed a favorable order in relation to the Company’s Income Tax Assessment Cases for the Financial Years 2004-05 and 2005-06 primarily relating to deduction under Section 80IB(9) of the Income Tax Act 1961. Since the deduction had been decided in favour of the Company (consistent with Financial Years 2002-03 and 2003-04), the excess Income Tax provision made for the Financial Years 2004-05 to 2006-07 amounting to INR 5,650 lacs had been written back during the previous quarter.

 

The details of Promoter's Shareholding is based on their declarations giving the status that no share has been pledged for respective periods.

 

Figures for previous period/year have been regrouped / reclassified to make them comparable with the current period, wherever necessary.

 

The above results and notes thereto were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their respective meetings held on February 14, 2014.
