Bidders have rejected an ONGC conditionality of a premium on the gas price from its Eastern Offshore fields should the government decide the dismantle the current ceiling pricing regime for deepwater gas.
8The lack of demand for gas and the price discount have forced ONGC to retreat from asking for a premium
8This cost economics of ONGC's investment in KG-DWN-98/2 will now have to be looked into in more detail to ensure that breakeven levels are reached
8This means that the DES price of LNG will effectively be the ceiling price at which producers of KG Basin gas will be able to sell the gas, if at all
8Most likely, given the slump in demand, it will have to be at a discount.

The fact that the world is moving away from long term contracts is going to make it difficult for ONGC as well as RIL-BP to find terms buyers for its gas, particularly if gas supplies exceed demand.
8The best indicator of buyers shunning long term contracts is available from current LNG global contract data.
8LNG contract sales declined to 5.7MMt in 1H 2017, a new record low in the past eight years. It was less than half of the volumes sold over the same period in 2016, indicating a very challenging market for LNG sellers.
8Even interests in short-term contracts (1-4 years) diminished as buyers expect abundant availability of cheap spot LNG cargos over the next few years due to imminent oversupply and soft oil prices.
8Portfolio suppliers are now stepping in, and grabbing term contracts instead of bulk suppliers as they have far greater flexibility.
8In India too there is an urgent need for portfolio suppliers to emerge but that will require sweeping regulatory changes

In what might be bad news for producers of gas in the KG Basin, the latest projections are that LNG prices are unlikely to see an upturn until at least 2025.
8By 2025, demand will catch up with supply overcapacity.
8But them again, a chance of experiencing the previously-expected supply shortage post-2025 is fading as Qatar has decided to add 30MMtpa of supply in the market by then.
8That will balance the market and prevent spot LNG prices from going very high.
8If oil prices stay close to the current futures, spot LNG prices should stay low in the 2020s

Sep 28 : ONGC auctions 5 mmscmd of gas at a big discount:-IV: Sweeping reforms needed, say producero
Has India gone into a complete demand slump as far as the appetite for gas is concerned?
8An analysis carried here by this website earlier this week, India is now dubbed as a "wildcard" among countries where demand for LNG is meant to be strong.
8The website spoke to several sources and they indicated that the monopoly pipeline and evacuation networks in India do not allow for a level playing field for independent buyers or traders to participate in an auction of the type held by ONGC.
8Sweeping reforms are needed to revive the demand for gas, including splitting up gas monopolies, in order to revive demand

The discount against the auction of gas has caught both ONGC and RIL-BP -- with both investing over $ 10 billion in their eastern offshore locations for a large quantum of additional gas -- unawares.
8The slump in demand, and lack of bidders for the auction has sent planners in both companies back to the drawing room.
8With private sector investment in big projects -- where gas can be consumed in bulk -- not forthcoming, there are now worries about the cost economics of these big gas production programmes.
8ONGC particularly will be staring at big losses if new gas from its KG-DWN-98/2 were to be auctioned at current levels of discount
8For RIL-BP, the breakeven is lower because of existing spare infrastructure available, but the massive discount elicited in the current discount has become a big cause for worry

The fact that ONGC's auction for 5.45 mmscmd of gas from the S1 and VA fields in its Eastern Offshore asset got a poor response and price quotes were at a huge discount to the ceiling price of $5.56/mmbtu has send the two gas producers from the region, ONGC and RIL-BP, into a tizzy.

With generating compressed air accounting for 10 per cent of total energy costs in industry, driving efficiencies in this segment has become very important indeed.
8Industry averages suggest energy costs account for more than 80 per cent of the total cost of ownership of a compressor, so any initiatives that can help companies identify inefficiencies and assist with performance optimisation, leak reduction and practical air management processes should be welcomed.
8Industry 4.0 and the IoT are, without doubt, the greatest opportunities available today to help organizations work smarter in the compressed air segment.
8Yet many organizations simply do not have the time or resources available to make the most of the data and information they collect.
8Alternatively, the trend seems to be to only consider data when an issue arises, rather than using it to effectively manage a compressed air system on an on-going basis.

8The government's projection of gas demand in India is now termed as overtly optimistic and a spate of new LNG terminals are finding it difficult to find customers.
8Some optimists still cling to the power sector to provide the much needed impetus but others have given up hope.
8Analysts all over the world are puzzled by the myriad factors that shape gas demand in India. Untangling every single thread of this demand is turning out to be increasingly complicated
8The website carries here a thorough analysis of the various strands of arguments which eventually narrow down to three widely variant gas demand scenarios, all of which are possible, given the quirky Indian market.

An estimate has shown that tanker rates are set to go up sharply in 2018
8Since October 2016 international high sulphur bunker prices have averaged over 40% higher than average prices between October 2015 and September 2016.
8This suggests that WS100 will rise substantially in 2018 to compensate for these higher costs.
8On long haul routes, where bunkers are by far the most significant component of all voyage expenses, flat rates are anticipated to increase between 19% to 21%, depending on the distance.
8The picture is somewhat different for short haul voyages but a substantial increase in rates is likely in this segment too

Is it time for the Indian upstream companies to take an offshore cyber insurance cover?
8Globally, offshore companies spend $ 1.8 billion in cyber security infrastructure.
8In India however, this has not been the case as digitization has been slow.
8But with at least $ 10 billion in brand new offshore infrastructure coming up, a lot of it will have state of art cyber architecture.
8As more offshore operations are now controlled via satellite link and/or by robots, the operational and financial complexity of this particular sector presents growing threats to cyber risk.
8In light of the increased connectivity, sensitivity of data and unmanned operations, the likely recurrence of cyber-attacks is expected to intensify as the link between technology and business continues to evolve.
8New cyber cover products are only now emerging in the market and it may well be time for both ONGC and OIL to look beyond technical covers to include cyber insurance as well.

The announcement by shipping giant Maersk that it will take a $300 million hit following the cyber attack on its vessel and port systems has come as a wake up call to the marine market.
8For several years cyber experts have said the sector needs to look to how it manages the threat with some saying that by its global nature and the fact that its major assets are constantly moving around the globe it is more exposed than many other industries.
8Thankfully, the Indian systems are not all that automated but the need to more efficient will lead to eventual cyberization of the industry.

Setting up captive LNG liquefaction terminals seems to be the way to go when gas offtake is stymied by lack of demand and infrastructure.
8Earlier, the plans were to supply LNG to the power sector but the economics have turned negative with the advent of cheap solar and wind power and the ability to use coal-fired stations as peal load units.
8Setting up captive fertilizer units is the new idea, as India has a big appetite for fertilizers and the returns are protected through a cost-plus retention regime.
8A new ammonia-urea complex is coming up with a requirement of 5.6 mmscmd of LNG to be supplied through a FSRU.
8Cost of the complex will be a massive Rs 9000 crore and will include a 300 MW captive power plant, along with a sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, DAP and NPK fertilizer units

There seems to be a shift away from placing fertilizer plants near domestic pipeline networks in the demand hinterland to near the coast, complemented by an FSRU.
8The logic is based on the pricing of gas. Since all incremental gas will be offshore and deepwater, the pricing of domestic gas will eventually be indexed to landed LNG prices.
8Instead of bearing additional pipeline tariffs and marketing margins from gas suppliers such as GAIL, it is a better idea to move a fertilizer unit to the coast, to be supplied directly by a medium to small sized FRSU.
8The middleman, which is the monopoly gas supplier, is cut out of the deal entirely as a result.
8Here is one example of how a unit was shifted away to the coast.
8What is more, fertilizer producers are increasingly looking at non-controlled fertilizers such as DAP and NPK instead of urea, for which India has a growing appetite as the fertilizer usage matrices move away from its bias towards low cost urea
