MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE INDIAN ECONOMY AND PETROLEUM SECTOR

 

For the Global Oil and Gas Industry, the year gone by was challenging, with interplay between economic, political and social forces; a thrust towards low carbon future and advent of digital technologies to drive down costs. It was yet another year of low crude oil prices. However, Oil prices recovered from the 12-year low witnessed in the previous year to US$ 54-55 per barrel during Jan-Feb’17 and witnessed decline thereafter. The production cut agreement between OPEC and non-OPEC countries at the end of 2016, partially assisted in reversing the prevailing global supply glut. For another year in succession, lower oil prices posed challenge for oil exporting countries; however, these favoured oil importers including India by reducing the cost of imports. Lower crude oil prices also had a positive impact on inflation and economic growth of India.

 

The Indian economy maintained its momentum and registered impressive GDP growth rate of 7.1% aided by a better growth in agriculture sector on the back of a normal monsoon. Foreign exchange reserves increased by about USD 22 billion during 2016-17 to reach about USD 370 billion by March 2017. Rupee-US dollar exchange rate, which was about 66 in the beginning of financial year, ended at about 65 at the end of the year as portfolio inflows went up. Various reforms and land mark policyinitiatives undertaken by Government of India laid a strong foundation for future growth and saw a major thrust on digital payment transactions. Another major development on economic front, last year, was demonetization of high value currency. It did create initial difficulties for informal and cash intensive sectors of the economy. However, intended long-term benefits in terms of greater formalisation of economy, better measurement, greater tax compliance, revenue generation and increased flow of savings to financial instruments are likely to outweigh short term costs of demonetization.

 

Accelerated economic activities coupled with low oil prices helped drive strong demand growth for petroleum products in India. India is now the world’s third largest oil consumer and has become a key driver of global oil demand growth. During 2016-17, Petroleum product consumption in India increased with an annual growth of 5.2% to reach 194 MMT. All major products recorded a positive consumption growth during the year while Kerosene, Naphtha, Bitumen and Lubricants recorded a de-growth. Petrol consumption recorded a strong growth of 8.8% on the back of increased passenger vehicle and two wheeler vehicle sales. Continuing the last three year’s trend, Diesel consumption recorded a positive growth of 1.8% during 2016- 17 owing to increased usage of public transport and improvement in medium and heavy commercial vehicle sales. Kerosene registered a de-growth of 21% during the year which is the highest ever de-growth in last 46 years, mainly because of enhanced LPG penetration in rural areas through Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana and voluntary surrender of kerosene quota by some states. LPG consumption increased with a growth of 9.8% due to Government’s impetus to provide clean cooking fuels by enhancing LPG penetration through various schemes. Aviation fuel consumption recorded a growth of 12.1%, highest growth during last decade on the back of growth in passenger traffic due to rising income levels and government’s thrust to promote low cost air travel. Fuel oil witnessed a growth of 8% due to increased use by Power, Steel and Small and Medium Enterprise Sectors. Slowdown of construction activities led to a marginal de-growth of 0.8% in Bitumen consumption during the year.

 

STRATEGY

 

In today’s competitive and dynamic business environment, it has become imperative to prepare a strategic plan which helps to navigate the future business environment. For realizing the growth and profit potential of the corporation and keeping HPCL ahead of the performance curve, a 5-year strategy named “Target 2020 (T20)” has been developed coinciding with the first 5-year period of their long term perspective plan “UDAAN 2030” which will help company to maximise customer value thereby achieving exponential growth and accelerated profits. T20 strategy has been developed with clearly defined year wise physical and financial targets, investment required and action plan for implementation covering both “Business-as-usual” and “New initiatives”. T20 strategy is being institutionalized through the Central Strategy Management and Implementation Office (SMIO). The focus is on implementing the identified strategic initiatives with clear ownership and monitoring the progress of achievement through a well-defined process at Business Unit and Corporate level.

 

REFINERIES

 

BRIEF ON CRUDE OIL AND REFINING MARGINS

 

2016-17 was yet another year of low crude oil prices. OPEC countries held various meetings during the year to balance the market by resorting to crude cut in collaboration with non-OPEC countries. However, the OPEC countries produced close to 1.000 million barrels per day (mbpd) more in 2016 as compared to 2015. Even after OPEC agreement of November 2016, which was supposed to be applicable from 1st Jan 2017, OPEC production in Q1 of 2017 was 0.30 mbpd more than Q1 of 2016. However, short term increase in crude oil prices helped Shale oil producers to lock their margins for medium term. Resultantly, US oil rig count started increasing during the previous year after a decline of more than two years. On the other hand, lower oil prices incentivized the consumers and the oil demand grew by 1.5 mbpd in 2016. However, the incremental demand was lesser than last year by 0.3 mbpd due to uncertainties in global economy due to Brexit, change in U.S. policies and slowdown in Chinese economy.

 

 

CRUDE OIL

 

Brent prices averaged about US$ 45.57/bbl. in Q1 (2016-17), up from US$ 33.89/bbl. in the previous quarter (Jan-Mar 2016). Crude prices rallied in the month of April 2016 on expectations of a production cut after Doha meeting of 17th April 2016, held between OPEC and non-OPEC producers. Further, continued attacks by militants in Nigeria (2nd largest exporter of West African crude) led to supply side disruption of about 300 to 400 kbd. Major Nigerian export grades were under force majeure during Q1. Severe congestion in Basrah ports due to planned maintenance in 4 ports out of seven, led to lesser exports of Basrah during the Q1 of 2016-17. After UK voted to exit the European Union, the market expected another global crisis. Moreover, in view of the seasonal maintenance in Q2 (2016-17) and the increased product surplus in the market, the crude prices remained under pressure during Q2. Few grades in Nigeria remained under Force majeure. Sudden preliminary agreement by OPEC members to cut production for the first time in eight years during the last week of September surprised the market. This fuelled rally in crude oil prices. Dated Brent prices averaged about US$ 45.85/bbl. in Q2 (2016-17).

 

Brent prices continued the rally in the month of October 2016 due to the positive market sentiments across the regions in view of OPEC agreement for an output cut. But with OPEC output rise on monthly basis, actual impact of the deal remained uncertain and Brent prices slipped substantially by US$ 4.5/bbl. in November 2016. Finally, on Nov 30, 2016, OPEC agreed to cut supply by 1.2 mbpd from 1st Jan 2017 (exempting Libya and Nigeria) initially for 6 months, with the option to extend it for further 6 months. Brent prices maintained the upward momentum due to optimism of non-OPEC countries joining the call for cut to balance the market. Overall the contango in crude oil forward prices narrowed and this led to diminished incentive for the traders to store the crude in floating storage. Dated Brent averaged about US$ 49.46/bbl. during Q3 of 2016-17.

 

The prices remained supported during January 2017 after statement from Saudi Oil Minister regarding production cut of about 1.0 mbpd. Brent prices were sustained in the month of February following comments by Russian Energy Minister that OPEC and non-OPEC production had already been cut by 1.4 mbpd. Sentiments also got boosted after news of Nigeria’s supplies disruption continuation till June’17. During this upward momentum in crude oil prices, US onshore inventory kept on increasing and reached well above its last five years average in February due to the possibility of floating storages continuing to find their way to onshore tanks and US rig count continuing to increase week on week. Moreover, OECD crude stocks showed little sign of drawing downward. This led to crude oil prices slipping by US$ 3.5/bbl. during March 2017. Dated Brent prices averaged at US$ 53.8/bbl. during Q4 of 2016-17.

 

REFINING PERFORMANCE

 

The year 2016-17 has seen the overall Refining performance of HPCL surpassing the previous years in terms of physical and financials. This was possible on account of better utilization of capacity and availability of refinery units. Both the refineries have started supplying the BS IV specification grade of MS and HSD well ahead of the schedule.

 

The volatility in crude and product prices during 2016-17 was moderate as compared to previous year, giving the much needed respite to oil and gas sector. The stability on industrial horizon and the promising atmosphere of industrial growth ensured a healthy atmosphere for Refineries to excel and perform better. Refining sector fared better than the expectations and continued the trend of sustained growth.

 

During 2016-17, HPCL refineries have recorded the highest ever refining throughput of 17.8 MMT as compared to 17.2 MMT registered during previous year and achieved a capacity utilization of 113%. Mumbai Refinery (MR) recorded best ever crude throughput of 8.5 MMT surpassing the previous high of 8 MMT achieved in the previous year. Visakh Refinery (VR) achieved 9.3 MMT compared to 9.2 MMT achieved in the previous year. This superior performance was achieved by meticulous planning of crude sourcing, ensuring a right crude mix and also ensuring speedy evacuation of all the products produced by the Refineries. Excellent refining performance during 2016-17 was supported by sustained level of refinery reliability and strict adherence to the laid out processes and safety.

 

The landmark performance in refining throughput helped achieve various other milestones on production front during the year. On a combined basis, HPCL refineries recorded the best ever production of LPG, MS, HSD, LOBS and Bitumen. On individual basis, Mumbai Refinery achieved the highest ever production of MS, HSD, LOBS and Visakh Refinery achieved the highest ever production of MS, HSD, ATF and Bitumen.

 

Another significant aspect of the superlative refining performance was sustained reliability of assets. During the year, Mumbai Refinery (MR) successfully completed planned turnaround cycles of Fluid catalytic cracking unit I (FCCU I), Solvent Extraction Unit III (SEU III), Lube Oil Upgradation Plant (LOUP) and Hydrogen generation Unit (HGU) and Visakh Refinery (VR) successfully completed turnarounds of Crude Distillation Unit III (CDU III) and Fluid catalytic cracking Unit I (FCCU I) within the stipulated timelines and with utmost adherence to safety at the same time without causing any disruption to product availability to the market. Synchronization of all Gas Turbine Generators (GTGs) and implementation of load shedding scheme at Visakh Refinery was one of the most important reliability initiative which paid good dividend in providing the uninterrupted power to the units.

 

Maximizing the asset utilization has always been the priority of HPCL refineries. HPCL has taken the advantage of regular turnarounds and installed new FCC feed nozzles at both refineries, which were specially developed and designed by R&D team indigenously.

 

Keeping abreast with the latest technology has yielded in benefits on operational and energy front and assured product quality for refineries. In this direction MR has revamped existing SEU III furnace with novel split-pass flow technology and VR has adopted structured MODGRID packing for FCC-2 reactor stripper. VR also added a second reactor at FCC NHT and debutanizer at DHT facilities which has enabled the refinery for complete compliance to production of BS IV specification MS and HSD.

 

On energy saving front, refineries have implemented various initiatives viz. commissioning of slop cut steam generator in CDU II at Visakh Refinery, on-line cleaning of furnaces using in-house developed chemical by R&D, decongestion of FCC-I Preheat exchangers along with relocation of Resid pumps at MR for access to equipment etc. One of the most significant achievements of the energy conservation initiatives was stabilization of the new Flare Gas Recovery Compressors (FGRCs) at both the refineries which has helped the refineries to handle the unavoidable escape of hydrocarbons to the flare during normal operations and put back to refinery fuel gas system.

 

To reduce energy consumption further, both the refineries have undertaken various other energy efficiency improvement initiatives. A mega-scale steam trap management study was conducted in MR which helped in significant reduction in steam losses. All these efforts have also a direct impact on the energy conservation and OPEX reduction of the refineries. As a result of this, both refineries were able to achieve their best ever Energy Intensity Index (EII) during 2016-17.

 

In pursuit of continual improvement of refinery operations, both HPCL refineries have participated in performance benchmarking study by M/s Solomon Associates for the third time. The study is now being conducted for the calendar year 2016. The phase of data submission has already been completed by both the refineries. Bureau of energy Efficiency (BEE) has extended PAT (Perform, achieve and trade) cycle II program to petroleum sector which is being coordinated by CHT for Indian refineries. Both HPCL refineries are actively participating in the PAT Cycle II. As a part of this process, a gap identification audit was carried out by Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA). Both HPCL refineries have participated in this audit and operating data acquisition phase has been completed.

 

As notified by Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoP&NG), BS-IV specification MS and HSD were to be rolled out on pan India basis from 1st April 2017. Both HPCL refineries prepared well ahead of the schedule to supply BS IV MS and HSD seamlessly without any interruption in product supply to the market.

 

Both the refineries are slated for their capacity augmentation plans while complying to BS-VI grade of auto-fuels. Mumbai Refinery expansion project (MREP) will augment refinery capacity from 7.5 to 9.5 MMTPA whereas Visakh Refinery Modernization Project (VRMP) will enhance refinery capacity from 8.3 to 15 MMTPA and will feature state of the art technologies and residue up gradation facilities. Both the projects have received the environmental clearances during 2016-17. Site clearances have been completed and the projects are now gearing up for field executions. Dedicated teams have been placed at MR and VR for taking the projects along the scheduled timelines.

 

Health, safety and environment make an integral part of Refinery performance at HPCL. MR celebrated the best ever safety performance by achieving 18 Million safe Man hours on 19/02/2017. VR actively participated in “Green Vizag” program by planting 2 lakh saplings all over the city. During 2016-17, MR and VR have fully complied with M B Lal committee recommendations which were mandatory for hydrocarbon industry. To reduce sulphur emissions a Tail Gas Treating Unit was commissioned at VR and the same was mechanically completed at MR during the year. MR successfully recycled 724576 m3 of water as compared to 577511 m3 of water during the previous year. VR achieved highest ever oily sludge processing record of 12000 m3 during 2016-17.

 

OPERATIONS, DISTRIBUTION AND ENGINEERING

 

The backbone for marketing of petroleum products is robust supply chain management which is handled by the Operations, Distribution & Engineering (OD&E) vertical in the company. OD&E is a key enabler to the Marketing SBUs / function, providing unstinted support and innovative solutions to stay ahead of competition and plays a key role in increasing market sales. HPCL has achieved accident free operations at all POL locations during 2016-17.

 

A key focus area during 2016-17 was to achieve conversion from BS-III to BS-IV Fuels. The entire process of migrating from BS-III to BS-IV was done on All India basis through meticulous planning and executing the planned activities. The migration to supplying BS-IV was successfully completed at all POL locations within the timelines.

 

Timely and adequate delivery of petroleum products and optimization of resources remained a focus area, resulting in enhanced customer satisfaction levels in both Retail and I&C business lines. Enhanced Safety processes at POL installations enabled uninterrupted product supplies and improved service levels.

 

Detailed planning was carried out for meeting future market demand along with time bound infrastructure development. During the year, major revamp of facilities was carried out at Jabalpur, Loni, Akola, Nalagarh, Manmad, Vizag black oil and Bahadurgarh locations.

PRESS RELEASE / WEBSITE DETAILS

 

ONGC BOARD APPROVES HPCL TAKEOVER 

 

August 21, 2017

 

NEW DELHI: The board of state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGCBSE 0.78 %) today gave 'in-principle' approval to acquire government's 51.11 per cent stake in Hindustan Petroleum BSE -0.42 % Corp Limited, the company said in a regulatory filing. 



The board at its meeting today constituted a committee of directors to "examine various aspects" of the acquisition and "to provide its recommendations to the board of directors", it said. 


The government last month had approved sale of its 51.11 per cent stake in oil refiner HPCL BSE -0.42 % to India's largest oil producer ONGC. 

 

Prior to the merger, HPCL is likely to take over Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd (MRPL) to bring all the refining assets of ONGC under one unit. ONGC currently owns 71.63 per cent of MRPL while HPCL has 16.96 per cent stake in it. 

 

Sources said ONGC will not have to make an open offer to minority shareholders of HPCL as the government's holding is being transferred to another state-run firm and the ownership isn't changing.

 

HPCL will become a subsidiary of ONGC and will remain a listed company post the acquisition, the source said adding the board of the refining and marketing company will continue to remain in place. 

 

The government has also constituted a committee -- headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and comprising oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan and road minister Nitin Gadkari to work out the modalities of the sale. 

Jaitley had in his Budget for 2017-18 talked about creating an integrated oil behemoth. After that oil companies were asked to give their options. 


ONGC had evaluated options of acquiring either HPCL or BPCL BSE -0.04 % -- the two downstream oil refining and fuel marketing companies. 


It found the nation's second-biggest fuel retailer BPCL too expensive and conveyed its choice to the parent oil ministry. 


Sources said the transaction is likely to be completed within this fiscal year. 


HPCL will add 23.8 million tonnes of annual oil refining capacity to ONGC's portfolio, making it the third-largest refiner in the country after IOC and Reliance Industries BSE -0.10 %. 

 


TAX RATES FOR SUBSIDISED KEROSENE AND COOKING GAS ROSE UP TO 5%: OIL MINISTRY 

 

August 25, 2017

 

NEW DELHI: The effective tax rates for subsidised kerosene and cooking gas rose up to 5% but fell on average 10-12% for most other oil products such as fuel oil, naphtha and lubricants under the freshly rolled out Goods and Services Tax (GST), an analysis by the Oil Ministry showed. 

 

For subsidised cooking gas used by households, the effective tax rates went up by 4-5% in several states including Delhi, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Karnataka, J&K, Goa and Chhattisgarh. In many other states, tax rates remained unchanged or rose just a bit. The GST rate is 5% on domestic cooking gas, and 18% on non-domestic gas. In most states, the effective tax rates have fallen 3-6% on non-domestic cooking gas although in some states the rates have marginally risen too.

 
The effective tax rate on subsidised kerosene, which attracts 5% rate under GST, has swelled 3-5% in several states including Rajasthan, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Odisha, Jharkhand and Haryana. For kerosene used for industrial purpose, which attracts 18% GST, the effective tax rate has shrunk 10-12% in most states. 


The effective tax rate has substantially fallen in most states for fuel oil, naphtha, light diesel oil, bitumen and lubricants, all of which attract 18% GST. On average, the decline in effective tax rates under GST in most states is 12-13% for fuel oil, naphtha and lubes. The fall varies between 10-20% for light diesel oil. In case of bitumen, the decline is mostly limited to less than 2%.
