8Reliance awards key R-Series subsea package
-- OneSubsea offers 'competitive' price to beat the competition and lift contract for work on deep-water gas development off India's east coast, according to sources.
-- They added that several other major contracts related to the R-Series development are expected to be awarded within the next week or two weeks.
8BP has been working hard to improve margins: New projects should deliver on average 35% better operating cash margins compared to the base portfolio in 2015 and around 20%, on average, lower development costs. In 2017, unit production costs to be more than 40% lower than in 2013. Around 75% of these cost reductions are from efficiency, so these should be sustainable in the longer term.

Our design and actual capacity matrix for products and raw materials and intermediates used by individual industrial units provides a first-hand and very accurate estimate of incremental all-India demand in a given industrial segment.
8We can tell you when and where exactly the demand for a particular commodity will fructify.
8The information can be sliced into industrial sub-segments, or further segregated in terms of demand emanating from specific facilities, units, geographies, operators and promoters.
8We can tell you when exactly demand will emanate from an industrial unit, giving a supplier adequate time to get in touch with the promoter and pitch for supply contracts.
8We can provide a progress report on new capacities coming up which will require raw material supplies. We can tell you whether the project underpinning the demand has passed the capital approval stage and how much longer it will take to be commissioned when the demand for raw materials will emerge. This will give you a better grip on the timelines by when commissioning will take place.
8This tool is very useful for suppliers of energy products such as fuel, gas or electricity. Big industrial enterprises require large volumes of energy and accurate projections help suppliers to plan better.
8Our contact data base accurately collects information on people in charge of purchases in facilities and units and allows a supplier to directly get in touch with potential buyers. Details

We have evolved an elaborate reporting system for all shutdowns and turnarounds in our project software for the oil & gas sector.
The moment our team picks up any shutdown data in the industry, we try and record the following parameters:
--Shutdown cause
-- Shutdown type
-- Shutdown status
-- Capacity offline
-- Percentage of capacity offline
-- Shutdown duration
-- Shutdown date
-- Expected restart date
-- Previous shutdown date
-- Previous restart date
8We will attach all the available information relating to the unit under shutdown and the industrial facility under which the unit is contained.
8All our units and facilities have multiple data points, involving technology details, input-output matrices, utility indices and key contacts
8If it is a planned shutdown, we provide a project along with it, providing key requirements of equipment and services as well information on RFQ dates and owner or contractor contacts.
8If it is an unplanned shutdown, we may not have time to build a project around it but we will get you the unit and facility data along with the alert beside information on key equipment that may require modification or replacement.
8There is a business development prospect with every shutdown and that is our key area of focus. Details

Now that a final investment decision (FID) has been taken for the ENI promoted Coral Floating LNG in offshore Mozambique underpinned by Shell's commitment to offtake all production, consortium leader Anadarko Petroleum has begun work on activating its own LNG project in the adjacent Rovuma Area 1 Offshore block in which the Indian trio of ONGC, Bharat Petro Resoures Ltd (BPRL) and Oil India Ltd (OIL) are involved.
8Anadarko announced that it had finalized two agreements with the Government of Mozambique – together known as the "marine concessions" – which would allow it to design, build and operate the marine facilities for its LNG project in northern Mozambique. This follows the publication of the Mozambican Government Decrees approving those agreements.
8But it will be a long while before FID can take place.

ONGC has canceled two of its contracts with Deep Industries for gas dehydration units on the basis of allegations of a contractual misdemeanor.
8The cancellation may simultaneously put into action a blacklisting process within ONGC for the company from future projects.
8The company may subsequently be put on "holiday", sources said.
8Although the entire blacklisting process is currently confined to ONGC, it may well be possible that other public sector companies will also debar Deep from participating in future tenders if a blacklisting is carried through in ONGC

A worrying point that needs highlighting is the GITPL's assertion that there are "significant adverse changes in market demand" that is threatening the viability of the Mallavaram-Bhilwara-Vijaipur natural gas pipeline.
8The 1800 km pipeline will traverse through 33 districts and six states
8GITPL also claims that it will be able to cut down tariff drastically: gas from the KG basin can travel to NFL's Vijaipur plant at 25% of the current applicable tariff
8But the point is what is what has changed about gas demand in the heart of industrial India through which the pipeline winds it way?
8Clearly, demand for gas has not been found to be as buoyant as was anticipated earlier.
8The inability of cross-country pipelines in India to stay viable needs a further investigation. The market for gas is becoming more dynamic, with a plethora of competing fuels as crude prices continue to stay low.
8LPG, FO/LSHS and Pet Coke are competing with gas for the attention of dual feed furnace owners. Low cost renewable energy may also increasingly emerge as a competitor.
8Undoubtedly, India should ordinarily have an insatiable appetite for gas but when will demand emerge remains a moot point.
8Will disruptive changes -- such as lower for ever crude prices or the advent of electric car or really low cost renewable energy -- kill this demand before it emerges?
8The jury is still out on this subject.

Beware of the ides of June, with apologies to the Roman saying.
8The disappearance of growth in POL consumption in the industrial sector in June is a sure of sign of distress that industry watchers must take cognizance of.
The following data proves the point:
8Naphtha consumption declined 4.3% in June in relation to the same month last year. there has been a degrowth of 3.4% during April-June as well
8FO and LSHS consumption was down 12.9% in June and 7.7 % in April-June
8Petcoke, a low cost favorite among furnace owners in India, declined a massive 18.6% in June and 1.1% in April-June
8LDO consumption recorded a de-growth of 5.6% and 1.1%
8Was this slack in liquid fuel or feedstock production picked up by higher gas consumption? Not really
8Gas consumption grew only 0.75% in June and 0.63% in April-June
8The data supports the fact that core sector industrial growth slowed down to a 19-month low of 0.4%, much lower than 7% recorded in June, 2016
8Is it just the adverse impact of demonetization or is it a deeper more insidious peril looming around the corner?

A tug of war is on between GAIL and GSPL India Transco Ltd (GITPL) over who should have the rights to transport gas from ONGC's Odalarevu terminal from where the E&P gas major's KG Basin gas output is to come in.
8GITPL is implementing the cross-country Mallavaram-Bhilwara-Vijaipur natural gas pipeline and it claims that one of the major reasons why it was set up was to ferry gas from ONGC's offshore KG Basin fields, such as the S1 and VA deepwater fields, and eventually gas from the KG-DWN-98/2 in 2019
8GAIL has now laid a counter-claim to do what is called a tie-in with the Odalarevu terminal from its regional KG Basin network on the ground that it is the nearest pipeline network.
8GITPL's tap-off point is 13 km away from Odalarevu whereas GITPL's is 50 km away.
8The ball in now in the court of the PNGRB
