Cairn India has brought on board two international advisors that has raised eyebrows in the oil and gas circles in India
8The advisors are Melody Meyer and Atul Gupta.
8Ms Meyer is a former high profile Chevron executive while Gupta is private equity advisor
8These appointments, as the company claims will "provide strategic direction and delivery focus to Cairn India, as the company embarks upon its growth journey of contributing to 50% of
8India’s overall crude production, through 5 billion barrels of oil equivalent reserves and growing and sustaining production at 300,000 barrels of oil and oil equivalent per day."

For both global and domestic oil and gas companies aggressive patent protection is emerging as one of the options to protect intellectual property
8Many of the big integrated companies file patents to maintain the “freedom to operate” in the domain where they operate.
8There is no single strategy that can apply for all organizations. The strategic objectives of an IOC can be different from a NOC.
8From a defensive perspective, it is preferable to protect via a patent, as opposed to trade secrets, although a trade secret has its place to retain significant “know-how.”
8The IP vehicle of choice for service companies is often patent protection rather than trade secret protection.
8Proactive disclosure by defensive publication is an excellent avenue to disclose a technology making it potentially not patentable for the competition.
8The fundamental point to always consider is the cost of patent protection vs. the value of the underlying technology being protected, and the benefits derived from a protected technology.

Projecting how gas demand is going to move is a big obsession with global analysts
8Three different scenarios include business as usual and a two degree global warming, along with an intermediate but more realistic "new policy" scenario
8The projections up 2040 throw up three different possibilities as a result
8The realistic scenario projects new gas demand country-wise up to 2040.
8Industry watchers will find it interesting to note that India's total use of gas will still be far lower than that of India and the US by 2040
8Meanwhile, LNG will overtake the pipelines as the biggest transporter of gas by 2040

Proponents who canvass for increasing use of gas to fight pollution in India lack the requisite tools needed to convert stakeholders to their point of view
8The website carries here a pictorial depiction of how gas can help fight pollution and how it is far less polluting than other conventional sources of pollution
8Also provided here in the depiction is how four global mega cities are fighting the battle against pollution by using gas as a tool
Those who push for use of gas are now using the following set of arguments:
8Policies reflecting the full costs of CO2 must also include health care costs
8Effective, transparent and economy wide carbon pricing instruments and stricter air quality, emissions regulations and efficiency standards
8Regulatory changes that enable the integration of energies within decentralized smart energy grids
8Well-designed capacity remuneration mechanisms (CRM) for natural gas power generation especially in case of rapid deployment of renewable energies as is the case with India
8Greater financial support towards investments in innovation and technology which capture the complementarity of natural gas and renewable energy systems
8The transition to a more global natural gas market must be advanced (liquidity, competitiveness, security of supply, pipelines and LNG)

New technologies that may lead to a bigger usage of gas is now around the horizon.
8Power-to-gas is a storage solution that can help address grid-stability problems that arise when an increasing share of power is generated from sources that have a highly variable output, such as solar and wind.
8The technology is undergoing advanced study and approaching commercial application.
8A power-to-gas system converts electricity generated during periods of high output and low demand (such as strong wind during off-peak hours) by splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis.
8The hydrogen is stored for future use as fuel and the oxygen may be sold for industrial use or released into the atmosphere.

Under current policies, existing coal, nuclear and hydro plants may provide more economic, and for many nations, more secure alternatives to natural gas for baseload power. While in
Europe and the US, the levelised cost of generating power from new CCGT is now cheaper than from new coal-fired units, the competitiveness of new gas-fired and coal-fired plants is
skewed towards coal in emerging economies that rely on imports for gas supplies.
8Absent a carbon price and more stringent regulations on air pollution and carbon emissions, natural gas has struggled to take share from cheap coal in these regions. In developing regions
that rely heavily on LNG imports, governments must balance environmental sustainability with income and energy equity.
8In India for example, this has led to a delay in expanding natural gas infrastructure and continued growth in coal generation.
8The Indian government has openly stated its views on coal as the current best option to deliver the energy needed to improve the standard of living for millions of people.

Floating regasification terminals continue to gain popularity as new importers enter the LNG market.
8But there are challenges for floating technologies relative to land based technologies is cost.
8Additionally, there are technical challenges and safety implications of having all the equipment of an onshore LNG processing plant on a vessel that offers roughly one fourth of the space.
8Separation distances are inevitably reduced and this introduces new risks for operations.
8The effects of moving liquids on ships, known as the “sloshing” effect are a well-studied issue for LNG carriers, however when applied to the transfer of LNG from a floating unit to a floating LNG carrier, potentially during rough sea states, the complications grow exponentially.
8Continued innovation and studies in this space are required to avoid danger and loss of availability in the supply chain.

The website carries here a very knowledgeable study of the Indian gas market by none other than the Congressional Research Service of the US Congress
8It states the reasons why natural gas consumption targets are not met by India
8More importantly, it has very knowledgeable inputs on untapped Indian potential in onshore and offshore gas production
8It acknowledges the fact that the Bay of Bengal has the largest and most concentrated discovery of gas hydrates anywhere in the world.
8The forecast is that India will constitute the 3rd highest growth in natural gas vehicles through 2040, after the United States and China.
8The paper says that pro-foreign investment signals from the Modi government have led to renewed optimism for KG-D6. For example, BP and Reliance Industries have withdrawn from arbitration proceedings against the
8GoI, and intend to produce four times as much natural gas by 2022.
