Indian Oil Corporation is today involved in a massive expansion spree, unprecedented in its history
8The scope and ambition is unprecedented
8And it is not just the $60 million Ratnagiri expansion
8Its pipeline, gas and petrochemical footprint is sought to raised in a big way.
8IOCL plans to either integrate all 9 refineries across India (11 including CPCL) with petrochemicals or increase their Nelson complexity.
8Our project monitoring software will break down this massive expansion into a granular format for our readers

8Energy storage is big business now
8And there are all kinds of opportunities
Among them are:
8Integrating renewable energy with distribution and transmission grids;
8Setting rural micro grids with diversified loads or stand-alone systems; and
8Developing storage component of electric mobility plans.

The fertilizer industry is of some interest to the Indian oil & gas industry
8This is because there are big guzzlers of gas. And each standard ammonia-urea unit can consume around 2.4 mmscmd of gas, equivalent to what a large CGD entity will consume.
8A clutch of new fertilizer units, powered by public sector investments, is meant to be coming up, some are still in the capital approval stage
8The private sector has stayed away from this investment spree because they are skeptical of government support -- the industry is entirely dependent on subsidy doles -- to these high cost new units.
8Only one private unit has taken the bait and is going to get into production mode in early 2019
8The risk is high, as each investment is worth Rs 6000 crore
8What does the future look like for this unit, squeezed between a highly regulated regime and an import lobby that hangs the threat of selling cheaper urea in India than the price at which it is manufactured domestically?

8A June-on-June global comparison shows India's LNG demand growing though it is going through a seasonal trough at this point
8Meanwhile a shoulder period LNG spot pricing chart indicates a quickly tightening of the LNG market
8Six US LNG plants are heading towards commercial start-ups, but they are spread out very thinly right across to 2026

 The costs of offshore wind projects commissioned in 201617 vary widely, but on average are 150% higher than onshore wind and more than 50% higher than utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects. 
8However, the results of recent auctions in Europe suggests a step change in costs for some new projects scheduled to enter into operation in the early 2020s; these include some bids that did not require any price guarantees at all, albeit at favourable conditions with the cost of grid connection taken by the transmission system operator. 
8Such a dramatic improvement in costs, if realised in practice, would provide a powerful stimulus for policy support and investment elsewhere in the world. 
8For projects commissioned in 2016, the global average LCOE of offshore wind was 150% higher than that of onshore wind and more than 50% higher than that of utility-scale solar PV. The website also carries here a projection of cost of offshore wind energy projects where technological advances and huge economies of scale plug the gap with onshore renewable power over time.

 A study has shown that offshore areas in Gujarat can optimally produce twice the annual energy demand of the entire country

Offshore wind could be the next big thing in India.
8And a large element of the offshore oil & gas industry, particularly relating to marine spreads can find itself gainfully employed in the process
8The investments are expected to be big, if the economics work out to be good
8The Indian government is pushing the case for offshore wind, with a first 1000 MW tender.
8A time has come for Indian offshore E&P marine companies to begin talking to stakeholders
8There is a also a large choice of companies from across the world to get in touch with, as they all start working out the cost economics of putting up these gigantic projects
8And offshore wind really takes off, it will be relief, as marine companies will no longer be dependent on the vagaries of the E&P industry

The city gas distribution business may have elicited a good response from big players
8But ground realities are are going to be tough
8If subsidized gas is not supplied to the CGD players, a large segment of its business comes under strain. Eventually low priced gas will run out of the system.
8As liquid fuel quality improves or electric cars take over, the case for CNG will weaken considerably.
8The industrial segment is extremely price sensitive and it is always a battle for market share with competing liquid fuels
8In this context, only a certain set of companies seems keen to get into the CGD segment.
8Reliance has stayed out, not just of CGD but also from the exploration rounds. Clearly it does not see enough traction. Shell's partial disinvestment in MGL means that the glass can be either half full or half empty, depending upon the perspective.
8Pertinently however, gas suppliers will be left depending upon the CGD segment to boost demand as power and fertilizer companies will be unable to do so

8PNE Wind AG
8Northland Power
8Innogy Renewable
8The list can get even bigger as it has now been stipulated that non-participation in EOI meetings will not disqualify anyone from participating in a tender. Maybe oil companies such as ONGC and RIL can look up the offshore wind business, as there is a lot of commonality between offshore oil and wind business
Comment: It is early days yet but it will be a relief for Indian offshore marine vessel supply industry to deal with an enthusiastic new set of companies instead of the same faces in the Indian offshore E&P industry. If the suffocating buyers' monopoly in the offshore E&P industry can be broken by offshore wind projects, and there can be quite a few that can come up, it will give the biggest fillip to the offshore marine industry in India Details
The ruling has upset the E&P major
8It is appealing against it

A prefeasibility study was conducted to build a water channel from the Arabian sea deep into Rajasthan
8The channel is meant to link the Rann of Kutch to Rajasthan at Bhakasar in Barmer district, a distance of about 300 kms.
8Of importance is that oil and gas have been discovered in Barmer by Cairn India in partnership with ONGC. Further discoveries of oil and natural gas are imminent too.
8The carriage of oil and even gas through the channel to Kandla, fo example, will be 25% cheaper than road, the argument goes. A lot of other good and commodities can ply the waterway as well.
8There has been no headway in building the channel so far but adherents continue to push hard for it, claiming that there will be many benefits from the channel

Close to US$1trillion of capex meant for 2015-2020 timeline has been taken out of the system so far, since the oil price crash of 2014
8While project sanctions activities are seen to be picking up now, all the deferrals will mean that more than 3mmbpd of supply that was supposed to come onstream by 2020 will now only come in the years after that.
8This will help the supply-demand equation in the medium to long term.
8Also, the need to develop oil production in more expensive areas – as the most expensive last barrel may need to be called upon to meet incremental demand – will continue to support oil
 prices.
8According to estimates from independent oil & gas consultancy Rystad Energy, the marginal sources of supply in 2020 will be currently non-producing shale fields (new shale) and oil sands, with a weighted average breakeven price of around US$63-66/bbl.
8Imputing some cost inflation to these numbers, we peg our longer-term oil price forecast to around US$65-70/bbl.

High competition and yet-to-recover oilfield equipment and services prices have meant that ONGC elicited a competitive bid for its SPF and SURF package for the KG-DWN-98/2 block well below its own estimate.
8"The difference between the winning bid and our own assessment is very significant," a senior ONGC official said.
8Even the highest bid was well below the reserve price estimate, it is learned

Thankfully for ONGC, despite the fact that oil prices have begun hardening, the company may be able to still elicit the best price rates from global consortiums bidding for the KG-DWN-98/2 block
8This is because there is a lag effect between oil prices and the hardening of equipment and services rates
8"There has been a significant level of overcapacity in the market, and rates continue to stay low. In fact, in some segments of the offshore industry, such for rigs and floaters, prices continue to go down even as ordering has improved
Click on Details on how ONGC will remain benefited despite the long delay in the contracting process for the KG-DWN-98/2 block. Details
ONGC has raised the cost estimate for the offshore processing platform in the KG-DWN-98/2
8"The reason why this estimate is raised is to take away any surprises. If the quoted price is more than 15% higher than the reserve price, the tender may have to be rejected. So to ensure a smooth tendering process, we want to keep the reserve price realistic, given that there is significant competition in the tender," an ONGC official told this website.
8"We are also examining whether we can keep the third bidder in the race too, so as to enhance competition," the official went on to add
8The competition is tough and there is now anticipation that the winning bid may be lower than ONGC's own estimate as has been the case with the SPF-cum-SURF tender.
