Comments : |
Subject is an oil and gas exploration and production company. It
produces oil and gas from three blocks in India. The company financial flexibility is driven by large net worth of Rs.
370511 million and current investments of Rs. 123029 million as on March 31,
2015. Rating takes into consideration company’s well established track
record of business operations marked by its healthy operating efficiencies
along with adequate financial base and favorable liquidity position of the
company. However, the company financial leverage is expected to increase
because of merger between Vedanta limited and Cairn India limited. Vedanta
has a high financial leverage, whereas Carin has no such financial leverage. In view of aforesaid, the company can be considered good for normal
business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions. |

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MANGALA,
BHAGYAM AND AISHWARIYA (MBA)
The Mangala, Bhagyam and Aishwariya (MBA) fields with 2.2 bn barrels of discovered hydrocarbons in place remain vital to our growth trajectory.
Both Mangala and Aishwariya fields produced better than expectations this year driven by efficient reservoir management, strong performance of infill wells and production optimization techniques undertaken during the year.
Aishwariya surpassed production mark of 30,000 barrel of oil equivalent per day (boepd) in the third quarter and is now producing at a stable rate.
At Bhagyam, increased water cut has posed some challenges for us but we remain focused on maximizing their recovery through better reservoir management and eventual polymer flood.
In the core MBA reservoirs, focus continues on infrastructure creation and prudent reservoir management in both water flood and EOR implementation. As part of building capabilities to deliver the next phase of growth, four key development projects were completed in the Rajasthan Block during FY2015. These were:
MANGALA POLYMER EOR
First polymer injection at Mangala field was achieved ahead of schedule in October 2014. By end of FY2015, the polymer injection rate was ramped-up to approximately 25,000 barrels of liquid per day (blpd). Two high-performance rigs operating in the field have enabled new injectors to be brought online in support of the injection ramp-up plan. Focus will be to continue to ramp-up injection and scale it up to full field by the end of FY2016
MPT DE-BOTTLENECKING
In the course of FY2015, the de-bottlenecking project relating to Mangala Processing Terminal (MPT) was successfully completed. Liquid handling capacity has now been ramped up to 800,000 barrels of fluid per day (blpd) by leveraging on the existing infrastructure.
The
higher capacity will enable increased water injection which is critical to
efficient reservoir management.
MANGALA ALKALI SURFACTANT POLYMER (ASP) PILOT
The Mangala ASP pilot was
successfully completed in FY2015. The pilot area showed encouraging response to
the injected ASP chemicals. For instance, a water-cut decline from 90% to
between 20% and 30% was observed within three weeks of the ASP injection. Core
samples are being studied to measure levels of oil saturation. The pilot wells
produced 10% to 15% incremental oil over polymer flood indicating potential commercial
viability. The pilot provided positive data on surface separation post ASP
flood - which will be up scaled through modeling to evaluate the potential of a
full commercial expansion across MBA.
GRID CONNECTED POWER
Connectivity with the
national grid took place during the year. This should significantly enhance the
reliability of power supply at the MPT and reduce unit costs. The delivery on
above key projects was a key focus area at MBA in FY2015. With the four
projects completed and substantial progress made on others, we are on track to
maximize the value creation from the core MBA fields. In addition, significant
progress was made in other projects across the block. Some of these are worth
mentioning.
At Aishwariya, a revised
FDP for an infill-drilling program of 20 wells has been approved by JV. The
necessary preparations for this programme are underway.
Also at Bhagyam, the plan
for EOR has been optimized to improve the economics andn allow Cairn India to
undertake polymer flood recovery in the near term.
BARMER HILL AND SATELLITE
FIELDS
Here the focus is on
monetizing the tight oil reservoirs through efficient reserve development and
deployment of fraccing technologies. During FY2015, Cairn India successfully
completed the appraisal phase of the Barmer Hill development. A total of eight
horizontal and four vertical wells were drilled. At present nine of these wells
are online. The remaining three are expected to be so by Q1 FY2016.
In this appraisal phase of
the project, initial well productivity rates lie within a range of 800 bopd to
1,000 bopd, which is very encouraging. The wells have been placed under testing
to ascertain decline rates. At present the construction costs are between US$ 5
million and US$ 7 million mper well. This should decline as the development is
scaled up.
The appraisal phase
produced key learning around productivity and ‘fraccability’ across various
zones of the Barmer Hill reservoir; about horizontal versus vertical well
development; and on fluid characterizations. As part of the ramped up field
development, the first phase will be focused on Mangala and Aishwariya fields;
the second phase on DP and NL fields; and the third phase on V&V fields.
Satellite fields will also follow a similar phased development plan. Several
technological feats were achieved during the appraisal phase, which included
application of Microseismic hydrofrac monitoring technology, and multistage
fraccing of wells that involved pumping three stages in a single day at one of
the wells –a first in India by any operator in the conventional Oil and Gas
field. Going forward the focus will be on optimizing both capex and opex costs,
and maximizing recovery.
In an effort to maximize value
from the Rajasthan block, more satellite fields are being brought into
production. During FY2015, four satellite fields were brought online taking the
total number of such producing fields to six. By using existing infrastructure
in the block and exploiting lean, reusable, modular production facilities, we
achieved substantial reduction in the development cost per barrel – thus
enabling economically sound development of additional fields. Development
planning for the Guda and Tukaram fields is currently in advanced stages, with
Field Development Plans (FDPs) likely to be submitted in early FY2016.
Tight oil monetization
remains a strategic focus area for them. They will continue to invest in Barmer
Hill; and are working closely with keyglobal strategic partners to develop
commercially feasible solutions and optimize both capex and opex for such
reservoirs.
GAS
Gas promises to be a key
growth area for Cairn India. The Rajasthan block has significant gas potential
and we are working towards creating the appropriate infrastructure for
monetizing it. In the years ahead, they expect gas production to be an
important part of the Company’s product mix.
Gas development in the
Raageshwari Deep Gas (RDG) field in Rajasthan is a priority. During FY2015,
average gas production from RDG was 16 mmscfd. This is expected to increase to
25 mmscfd in FY2016. During the year four compressors were installed and commissioned, all on
schedule. This
has provided us the capacity to ramp-up production from RDG with existing infrastructure, and, hence, secure higher sales from next quarter.
The Management Committee
approved the RDG Field Development Plan for 100 mmscfd. Work on execution,
planning and contracting is underway. Two key packages for this project will be
the EPCs for the pipeline and the gas terminal. An application has been
submitted to the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) for
authorizing a pipeline under their policy for Tie-in Provisions. The EPC for
gas terminal is at the tendering process. They anticipate the Gas project to be
completed by end FY2017, subject to regulatory approval.
MANGALA DEVELOPMENT
PIPELINE (MDP)
The MDP is designed to
evacuate the crude oil and transport Gas from the Rajasthan block. At around
670 km, it is world’s longest continuously heated and insulated pipeline.
Beginning at the Mangala Processing Terminal (MPT) and Raageshwari terminal
respectively, the 24”crude and 8”gas pipelines pass through eight districts
across two states, Rajasthan and Gujarat, go through Viramgam and Salaya and
end at Bhogat near Jamnagar on the western coast of India. There are buffer
Crude storage terminals at Radhanpur and Viramgam for sales to Indian Oil
Corporation Limited (IOCL); and off-take lines at Salaya for sales to the
Reliance and Essar refineries in Jamnagar.
Since its commissioning,
the total cumulative crude oil sales of approximately 271 million barrels have been achieved through
the pipeline facilities up to March 2015. With the use of drag reducing agents,
the proven dispatch capacity of MDP has been enhanced to around 250,000
bbls/day. Given its length, the MDP incorporates a Pipeline Intrusion Detection
System to provide surveillance along its entire length using fiber optics.
Cairn India’s pipeline operations received the prestigious OISD award for “Best
Near-Miss reporting” and accreditation of both OHSAS:18001 and ISO: 14001
systems.
In previous year, Gas sales
commenced through the 8” gas line. Notable capacity enhancement initiatives
were executed in FY2015. These include the installing of higher capacity Gas
compressors at Raageshwari and Viramgam terminals to nearly double gas sales
capability; as well as modification of impellers of the mainline booster pumps
at Viramgam.
Salaya-Bhogat pipeline and
the terminal at Bhogat are ready to receive crude. Once fully commissioned,
Cairn India will be able to utilize sea routes for the evacuation of Rajasthan
crude oil.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
In view of the current oil
price scenario, Cairn India is taking a proactive approach to capital
allocation and shareholder returns. Cairn India’s near term focus lies in
optimizing project economics and driving operational efficiencies for core
fields. Although there has been a partial deferment of capex, the Company
remains agile to make selective investment in growth projects and thus enhance
production volumes. Delays in obtaining necessary approvals, inherent
uncertainty around global crude oil prices, and rising government profit oil
share may further impact the Company’s topline and profitability. Cairn India
remains cautiously optimistic about FY2016.

NOTES:
1) The above unaudited financial results for the current quarter ended 30 June 2015 were subjected to a limited review by the auditors of the Company and reviewed and recommended by the Audit Committee at its meeting held on 20 July 2015 and approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on 21 July 2015.
2) The figures for the quarter ended 31 March 2015 are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year ended 31 March 2015 and the unaudited published year to date figures up to 31 December 2014, being the end of the third quarter of the financial year, which were subjected to a limited review.
3) The individual items in the above financial results are net of amounts cross charged to oil and gas blocks where the Company is the operator. The Company’s share of such net expenses in oil and gas blocks is treated as exploration, development or production costs, as the case may be.
4) In previous year, the Company had changed the method of depreciation on some of its oil and gas assets from ‘Straight Line’ method to the ‘Unit of Production’ method. The additional charge of Rs. 10463.900 Million due to the same for the period up to 31 March 2014 had been disclosed as an exceptional item in quarter ended 30 June 2014 and year ended 31 March 2015. Further, the value of Company's investment in CIG Mauritius Holding Private Limited (“CMHPL”) of Rs. 9497.600 Million had been considered as permanently diminished in the quarter and year ended 31 March 2015. Further, additional provision of Rs. 2599.200 Million to fund the outstanding liabilities of the subsidiary of CMHPL had been made. The cumulative loss on this account had been considered as an exceptional item for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2015.
5) The Board of Directors at their meeting held on 14 June 2015, have approved a Scheme of Arrangement (the “Scheme”) between the Company and its parent company Vedanta Limited and their respective shareholders and creditors. As per the Scheme, the implementation of which is subject to the receipt of necessary approvals from the non-promoter group shareholders and relevant regulatory authorities, the Company is proposed to be amalgamated into Vedanta Limited, with effect from 1 April 2015 or such date as may be approved by the High Court.
6) The Company operates in only one segment i.e. "Oil and Gas".
7) Previous quarter’s / year’s figures have been regrouped / rearranged wherever necessary to confirm to the current quarter’s presentation.

PRESS RELEASE:
VEDANTA-CAIRN MERGER AT RISK AS COMMODITIES
PRICES FALL OVER CHINESE MARKET ROUT
JULY 10, 2015
MUMBAI: The meltdown in Chinese market, which
has dragged global commodity prices down, has put the Vedanta-Cairn merger plan
at risk, with the possibility of minority shareholders of Cairn voting against
such a move.
The risk of swap ratio rejection by minority
shareholders of Cairn has increased because Vedanta
has a high financial leverage with a net debt at Rs 50,7000.000 Million,
whereas Cairn has no such financial leverage. It has net cash of Rs 23,9000.000
Million, including inter-corporate deposit of Rs 8,0000.000 Million to Vedanta.
"Vedanta's share value would drop more
sharply than Cairn if commodity prices remain weak or decline further. This may
prompt minority shareholders of Cairn to vote against the merger," said
Sanjay Jain, senior vice president - research, at Motilal Oswal
Securities.
Vedanta's share price has plunged about 25
per cent to Rs 139 since the announcement of the merger on June 15, while the Cairn India
stock has dropped only 10 per cent to Rs 165 over the same period — this
difference has raised the risk of a swap ratio rejection.
Vedanta had announced that Cairn India was
merging with itself to create a natural resources conglomerate that would
produce everything from aluminium and copper to crude oil. Shareholders would
receive one Vedanta share for every Cairn India share held and one preference
share with a coupon of 7.5 per cent. Vedanta, which is struggling to pare its
debt of Rs 77,0000.000 Million, will get access to Cairn's cash pile of Rs
17,0000.000 Million once the deal goes through.
"Cairn shareholders should vote against
the merger with Vedanta because after the stock price correction, the merger
ratio has become unfavourable," said Shriram Subramanian, managing
director at InGovern,
a proxy advisory firm. "The Chinese implosion suggests that metal
companies will remain under pressure, whereas crude prices are nearing their
bottom."
Large investors and some leading brokerages
have also slammed the proposed merger of oil producer
Cairn India with the metals and mining conglomerate Vedanta as a big negative
for minority shareholders. Analysts estimate that if commodity prices decline
by 10 per cent, the Vedanta-Cairn merger ratio would tilt in favour of Cairn to
1.8 times from the current 1 time, and if commodity prices fall by another 20
per cent, the ratio would increase to 3.5 times.
Copper prices have crashed to a six-year low
on Tuesday as money moved to safe haven like the US dollar
due to uncertainty created by the Greek debt crisis and Chinese equity market
losses. Other industrial metals have also plunged; aluminium touched a six-year
low, nickel slumped to its lowest level since April 2009, and zinc hit its
lowest since December 2013. Cairn investors fear that the firm's cash would be
used to pay off Vedanta's debt and that it would inherit the problems of a
large mining conglomerate, which is fighting environmental activists over an
aluminium project in Odisha.
Minority shareholders have become important
as new rules framed by the market
regulator Sebi
in May 2013 mandate that any related party M&A in order to be operational
should receive more than half the votes of public shareholders in its favour.
This means that more than half the public shareholders of Cairn India (40 per
cent) should vote to support the deal for the merger to be effective. LIC owns 9 per cent while Cairn Energy
Plc owns 9.8 per cent in Cairn India.
