Discovered fields were handed over to new operators with much fanfare. Here are two stories of developers and what they are doing with their blocks.
After initial analysis of his offshore field, this particular owner figured out that it had fewer reserves than he thought the field initially did when he put in his bid. The operator has now sought some kind of a special dispensation from the ministry but the latter, quite evidently, is not willing to play ball.  The project involves development drilling of oil wells, installation of an offshore platform and laying of a subsea pipeline. For now, it looks like the operator has delayed the RFQs for an EPCM contractor for the job

We carried a story yesterday, dubbed "The glass is either half full or half empty: Find out why Jackups is the best business to be in at this point in time.", in which we elaborated on how the biggest players in the industry are gearing up towards an upswing in rates on the back of rising investments which are buoyed by higher oil prices.
8But that may or may not be eventually true. The situation right now seems to be pretty grim.
8The website also carries here the a documentation of how low Jackup rig day rates have plunged in India.
8The fall in rates may not be as dramatic as is noticed in the PSV section but it is bad enough anyways.
8In fact, the rates settled in India for such rigs are supposed to be the lowest in the world

How does the rise in crude prices impact the tanker market?
8Is it good or bad news when prices begin to rise.
8For tankers, the most notable impact in the short term will be higher bunker prices.
8Further down the line, higher prices could stimulate increased marginal barrels to flow into the market but at the same time potentially put downward pressure on demand.
8The future direction of the market remains finely balanced.

The sharp and inexorable decline in the day rates of Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs) over the last three years is a grim reminder of how bad the situation has been for mostly Indian companies who supply these vessels.
8According to data provided by the industry, we track the deterioration of day rates from 2015 onwards of a 3000 MT PSV of a prominent Indian supplier to illustrate the sorry state of the E&P vessel industry.
8The price has dropped by an astounding 83%
8"The drop in rates is so severe that quite obviously, only marginal pricing principles are at play," the industry source said. "It is a Hobson's choice: keep the vessel idle or keep it going," an industry executive said.
8How long will these abysmally low prices prevail?
8"We have heard that the investments are going up, but they are not reflecting on the day rates," the executive said.
8Marine spread calculation for a vast amount of offshore work that is now going on off the two coasts of India can take advantage of the low PSV rates.
8The point to note however is that the drop in rates has impacted all aspects of the offshore industry and not the PSV industry.

A growing number of businesses around the world are turning to internal carbon pricing as a tool to manage climate-related risks and transition to a low-carbon economy.
8There are early signs that internal carbon pricing is also making inroads into forward-looking Indian businesses.
8The website carries here a seven-point primer for developing and implementing an internal carbon-pricing scheme.
8The primer is based on the experience of five Indian companies who have gone through this route.
8The Indian government has signaled its intent to transition to a low carbon economy by committing under the Paris Agreement to have about 40 percent of non–fossil fuel-based electric power capacity in its energy mix by 2030. There is currently only a cess of Rs 400 levied per ton of coal purchased or imported by power producers.
8Additionally, programs such as clean energy and energy-efficiency standards (BEE 2012), renewable energy certificate schemes and renewables purchase obligations (MNRE 2016) also, in effect, impose a cost on carbon emissions.
8It is not yet clear how Indian regulations will evolve as the nation works to reduce emissions.
8Nevertheless, the current regulatory landscape provides a favorable setting for increased corporate adoption of internal carbon pricing across sectors.

ONGC wasn't able to achieve its target crude production in 2017-18. Output was at 22.2 MMT against a target of 23 MMT
8Delays in getting some projects off the ground, technical snags and high water cut in aging fields were cited as reasons
8The long delayed conversion of the Sagar Samrat to an MOPU seems to have to have been delayed again. Additional output planned from the field from the WO16 cluster from October’17 couldn't be started up. This was one plan that did not fructify
8The much touted ‘Integrated Development of B-127 Cluster’, again from Oct.’17, got delayed though plans are to kickstart it before the monsoon breaks or else they will have to wait till October.
8Technical snags with ESPs held up production in the NBP field and they were only sorted out in February
8Then again, higher water cuts are causing problems across a range of fields, from Heera, Neelam and B-173 fields as well as assets in Mehsana and Assam.
8Meanwhile, OIL's 2017-18 output was at 3376.28 TMT which is 9.58% lower than target on high water cut from its aging fields and inadequate results from its workover programmes

Essar seems to have run into trouble with its Raniganj CBM block
8This website has received complaints that vendors have been not been paid off
8A few of them, Aakash Exploration, Kingston Oil field and MACO Corp. have been working with Essar Oil for the last five years as service providers for workover rigs
8But Essar has not paid up for the past six months, forcing them to move an insolvency petition
8The worst hit of course is Matix Fertilisers, which had set up a Rs 5000 crore ammonia-urea complex on the promise of gas from the Raniganj field. The company will have to wait for the trunk pipeline built by GAIL to become operational to get to full production.
8The plant tried to run on limited gas supplied by Essar but is currently under shutdown as Essar had closed some wells for planned maintenance and refrac jobs.
