India has muscled back into Sri Lanka after a deal was wrangled by Petronet LNG wherein a JV will be formed with a Japanese and a Sri Lankan company to set up an LNG terminal on the west coast of the island, close to its capital Colombo.
8Government sources in India said that it was necessary to get the deal out from Sri Lanka to counter the growing influence of China on the island.
8There was a concern in India over the signing of a $1.1 billion deal by Sri Lanka with China in July to lease the Hambantota port to Beijing. Under the proposal, a state-run Chinese company will have a 99-year lease and 70 percent stake in the port
8Overall, China has invested heavily in Sri Lanka's infrastructure since the end of civil war in 2009. China is Sri Lanka's biggest trading partner and largest import market.
8There are very clear and specific concerns that India has over China's looming presence in Sri Lanka

Even though GAIL has sought a renegotiation of the terms of its deal with Cheniere Energy Inc for offtake of LNG, the SPA between the two is still being considered as "investment grade" by the US LNG terminal owner.
8But GAIL is reported to be eyeing a renegotiation based on projections that Cheniere could make margins of around $2 in both Asian and European going up to early next year.
8However tight back-to-back debt arrangements with lenders will leave Cheniere with no room for renegotiations.
8GAIL's bargaining position also suffers from an inability to win over other offtakers to rally behind its plea for renegotiations.

The website carries here a break up of optimistic demand projections for LNG going up to the year 2030.
The demand growth has been split up into the following components:
8Supplemental: Countries with maturing indigenous resource bases which require new sources of gas
8Growth: Growing economies seeking cleaner and more diverse fuel mix
8Flexible: Seasonal or weather influenced and price sensitive demand
8Displacement: Diversifying energy mix away from coal
8Bunkering: Adopting cleaner ship fuels due to stricter emission standards
8Traditional: Legacy importers with flat to declining demand

Subsequent to an Appellate Tribunal order, the PNGRB is having a relook at the tarif rate fixed in an earlier order for GAIL's Dukli-Maharajganj Natural Gas Pipeline Network.
8GAIL had sought a provisional tariff rate of a Rs 40/mmbtu
8Whereas all that the PNGRB was willing to provide for was Rs 6.13/mmbtu
8Clearly, GAIL follows an "aim for the sky so that you land on the tree tops" policy when it comes to approaching tariff related issues with the PNGRB.
8The traditional route that is followed by the gas major is to appeal to the APTEL, get an order for redetermination of the tariff, and then look for a higher tariff rate
8Most of the time this strategy works well for GAIL
8Will it, this time around?

BPCL's bitter lessons in diversifying aggressively into the upstream sector can serve as a template for other refining companies on how not to do it the wrong way.
8The company's fully owned subsidiary Bharat Petroresources Ltd has posted a consolidated loss of a whopping Rs 500 crore on a share capital of Rs 2,920 crore in 2016-17.
8This was due to interest lost on its Russian assets and impairment costs on its other investments
8The company has a big investment in the potentially lucrative Mozambique gas block but the risks, for now, outweigh the advantages.
8The global E&P dynamics are way out of sync with what a mid-level refinery player such as BPCL is normally used to, and to invest heavily in a segment over which it has little influence is indeed a very big risk particularly in the face looming uncertainty in the global energy conundrum.

The relentless crisis in the offshore oil & gas market seems to be pushing charter hire rates for Anchor Handling Tugs Supply (AHTS) vessels and Platform Supply 3000 Vessels (PSVs) inexorably downwards for vessel owners under contract with ONGC.
8A total of 20 vessels were hired at already low rates in 2016 but after the expiry of one year of contract, ONGC took advantage of the contract provisions to revise the rates further downwards.
8The rates were therefore brought down steeply.

Even as vessel owners went on the offensive, ONGC defended its policy of renegotiating rates.
8The company is reported to have offered an explanation to the government too on the reasons for seeking renegotiation of rates.
8The E&P major also said that it was not imposing predatory rates as it could have but was only taking into account natural corrections happening in the global offshore supply vessel market

The introduction of diesel particulate filters as part of a Euro-VI emission control package for on-road engines may make the use of CNG redundant, according to one study.
8This technology will bring about a 99% reduction in black carbon emissions compared to pre-Euro-VI engine technology, effectively achieving a soot-free emission performance.
8In that sense there will really be no difference in sooth emissions between a diesel and a CNG fired engine.
8The essential paradigm on which the use of CNG was promoted, which is to curb black carbon emissions from diesel, will no longer exist.
8Between 60% and 80% of uncontrolled diesel exhaust is black carbon, a harmful ultrafine particle that can operate as a universal carrier of toxins to the lungs and the bloodstream.
8What is more, as a short-lived climate pollutant, black carbon can cause over 3,000 times as much warming as an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide over a brief 20-year period.
8The big question then is if soot free emissions make it redundant whether diesel or CNG is used as a fuel in motor vehicles, why would there be a reason for the government to continue to subsidy the use of CNG?
8The big threat to the CNG industry in India and the City Gas Distribution system -- which depends on CNG as the primary driver of its business model -- is the advent of Euro-VI fuels beginning from 2020.
8The advent of the electric car was considered a threat to the CGD industry but the introduction of Euro-VI fuels and engines may turn out to be an even bigger threat.

What is the outlook for the offshore rig and floater industry in the next three years? This is how it looks
82017: Despite recent weakness in crude oil prices, 2017 has been broadly supportive of an increase in drilling activity; however, more favored to onshore shale drilling in North America. Jack-up demand is likely to steadily increase throughout the remainder of the year
82018: Floater demand expected to lag behind jack-ups and bottom in 2018
82019+: Improvements in day rates not anticipated until later in the decade. Historically, marketed utilization must return to ~85% for pricing power. Attrition will be needed to help the supply-demand balance.

The City Gas Distribution model can well be under serious threat on account of all round technological disruptions
8The withdrawal of subsidies on CNG and the switchover to electric kitchens can dramatically change the paradigm for CGD companies. Their core businesses will shrink.
8The CGD network will then have to depend upon industrial customers for survival.
8The point to note is that CGD networks are not attuned to serving high volume industrial customers who are usually catered to by large gas transmission companies with dedicated spur lines
8CGD companies at best serve industrial enterprises in and around their networks which are concentrated around population centres. But in the future, new laws will not allow pollution emitting industries to stay near population centres.
8In that case, demand from industrial segments will come down.
8With renewable energy now increasingly in direct competition with gas, the CGD fraternity may find it difficult to make a living.
8It is quite possible that between a 5 to 10-year time frame, these companies may well be left without a business to run.

If CNG is no longer "less polluting" than Euro-VI compatible diesel and engine technology, its survival as a vehicle fuel will depend upon a plea that it emits lesser carbon dioxide emissions than other fuels.
8But that may not really be the case, according to a global study on sooth free buses run in 20 cities globally on Euro-VI diesel, CNG extracted from fossil fuel and electric batteries.
8It was found that CNG fired buses had the highest consumption of energy (Kwh) per km, higher than Euro-VI diesel. Battery fueled buses were the most efficient
8The point to note is that when Well to Wheel (WTW) emissions are taken into account, in some speed categories, CNG buses emit higher green house gas emissions than their Euro-VI diesel counterparts. The lowest emissions are from electric vehicles.
8Importantly, the WTW emission calculations for CNG buses assume a very low fugutive methane emission level of 1.6%, whereas in the Indian environment, the emissions levels are expected to be much higher. This is because there are many leakage points, which are not adequately monitored as of now, in the production and transportation chain in India.

8But that may not really be the case, according to a global study on sooth free buses run in 20 cities globally on Euro-VI diesel, CNG extracted from fossil fuel and electric batteries.
8It was found that CNG fired buses had the highest consumption of energy (Kwh) per km, higher than Euro-VI diesel. Battery fueled buses were the most efficient
8The point to note is that when Well to Wheel (WTW) emissions are taken into account, in some speed categories, CNG buses emit higher green house gas emissions than their Euro-VI diesel counterparts. The lowest emissions are from electric vehicles.
8Importantly, the WTW emission calculations for CNG buses assume a very low fugutive methane emission level of 1.6%, whereas in the Indian environment, the emissions levels are expected to be much higher. This is because there are many leakage points, which are not adequately monitored as of now, in the production and transportation chain in India.

As the source of electricity gets greener -- as coal is replaced by renewable energy -- the use of electric vehicles will go up dramatically because of higher energy use efficiency and significantly lower WTW emissions.
8But use of fossil fuel based CNG will be under threat long before electric cars make their entry.
8From 2020 onwards, when EuroVI engine technology establishes a firm base, CNG will not longer be a viable option once climate related pollution subsidies are withdrawn.
8The subsidy will then have to be confined to piped natural gas supplies only.
8All other gas supplies, be it as CNG or for industrial use, will be at the full cost, which is essentially the landed cost of LNG to which will have to be added taxes and transportation tariffs.
8How the calculations work out then will depend upon the economics prevalent at that point in time.
8But the big margins that CGD monopolies enjoy now will all but disappear.

If the use of CNG comes under threat, where will the incremental demand for gas emerge in a country such as India?
8Already, gas based power has been established to be unviable in India. The use of gas based power to smoothen out the supply irregularity of renewable energy will perhaps be addressed by ramping up output from cheaper peak load coal based power plants.
8For large scale use of gas, demand will have to pick up from industrial segments such as petrochemicals, fertilizers, steel, iron ore, cement and others. The size of this market is still not fully known, and here again, in some segments, competitive liquid fuels or coal may keep the use of gas at bay.
8The use of piped natural gas or even LPG cylinders will come under threat from electric home alliances if the price of renewable energy continues to fall to levels where use of even subsidized gas seems more expensive. The Niti Ayog is pushing for electric kitchens in its three-year action plan which was announced recently.
8If this scenario is juxtaposed against a sharp upswing in domestic gas supply from the KG Basin, it is likely that the demand for LNG may remain subdued well into the 2020s

Biodiesel is a promising alternative to petroleum diesel and the technology to produce it has been getting more and more sophisticated.
8But long term sustainability is still a problem
8Proponents are now floating the concept of a biorefinery, which provides for production of other value added bio materials and biopolymers, including food grade products.
8A broader spectrum of products can be obtained from biorefineries than conventional crude oil based petroleum refineries
8Bio refinery enthusiasts now claim that that the existing oil-based economy will eventually be replaced by a bio-mass based economy.
8It is time for this government to take a deep and hard look at the biorefinery concept, and whether distributed biorefineries across India can nature an environment-friendly revolution.

It is quite out of the ordinary for Swan Energy to set up an LNG terminal.
8To begin with, it does not have any experience in the oil & gas sector, having dealt so far only with textiles and real estate.
8Then again, it does not seem to have a great balance sheet: its profit after tax was a mere Rs 1.67 crore in 2016-17 and Rs 58 lakh in 2015-16.
8It is a kind of a daredevilry to go ahead with a Rs 5600 crore project on such thin cash flows.
8Black & Veatch is the EPC contractor and the Indian promoter has also signed up with Mitsui for an FRSU.
8It has tied up 4.5 MMTPA of offtake agreements with GSPC, IOC, ONGC and BPCL.
8The Gujarat government has picked up an 11% stake and it has reportedly promised to take it up to 26%.
8But the project is high on risks: it is getting commissioned in early 2020 when an avalanche of gas supply from the KG Basin is likely to hit Indian shores.
8Then again, LNG demand has been lackluster of late, and it remains a moot point whether there will be enough demand for LNG in 2020.
8It is indeed a high-risk game for Swan. It is banking on the offtake agreement from the PSUs and an enthusiastic demand projection for LNG to get funded.
8But sooner than later, Swan will have to parcel off a much larger chunk of its equity in the project to more deep pocketed shareholders to be able to withstand the pressures of this business.
8Roping in investors is not easy. Fertilizer giant Iffco had promised to pick up an equity stake but is now backing out as cooperative rules for investing in outside of core areas have been tightened.

Nowhere else is the outlook on the LNG business more divided than among business analysts.
8And this divide comes out in sharp relief when coming to valuing Petronet LNG Ltd's future performance.
8For one group, Petronet LNG is the preferred pick among mid-stream companies, given the earnings visibility on account of firm volume off-take commitment under the Use-or-Pay clause and robust RoE of 22-23%.
8For another group, the company is not in the high performing category anymore. It has replaced Petronet LNG with another company as a better performer.
8The view here is that Petronet LNG will under perform due to lackluster demand and weak volume offtake.
