Advances in electric car technology are now grabbing more headlines than ever before.
This week the following new developments have been announced:
8More than half a dozen large carmakers, including Audi, Ford and Volvo, are soon expected to begin selling electric vehicles (EVs) that can be charged wirelessly.
8EV drivers will welcome, it is thought, the ability to top up an electric car by using a smartphone to locate, reserve and rent charging pads while parked for a quick errand or overnight, without needing to fuss with a cord.
8Perhaps most importantly, cutting the cord allows EVs to charge on the move. At three sites in South Korea, trams and buses charge as they drive over a series of embedded coils that are sequentially flooded with pulses of electricity as a vehicle passes overhead. Renault is helping to test this technology in Versailles, near Paris. And Israel’s transport ministry is funding a test on a short stretch of a street in Tel Aviv. If about a sixth of an EV’s route were electrified in this way, it would never need to stop for a charge.
8In another important development, in what is being denoted as historic, Google has announced that its self-driving cars will no longer use a human safety driver while they are tested on the roads of Phoenix, US. Members of the public will soon be invited to take trips in Google's fully self-driving vehicles.
8Google is officially announcing its plans to launch an autonomous taxi service in the metropolitan area of Phoenix following the testing period that’s set over the next few months.
Comment: Indian oil marketing companies should keep an eye on these developments while trying to set up refining capacities that are meant to remain productive assets over a 15 to 20 year period. Disruptive technology can make these investments unviable in very quick time. Click on Details for more. Details

Does a coal-to-petrochemical project of the size planned by the Adanis make sense in today's world?
8Apparently in does as the plant can be competitive when compared to other conventional feedstock such as gas or naphtha.
8The landed cost of LNG or even domestically available gas (as the price is to be pegged to DES LNG price in the West Coast of India) is expensive in India whereas the costing exercise for Adanis' coal-to-petrochemical project will be an internal one, given that coal is being supplied from a captive coal mine.
8The cost economics of the integrated project is of importance then and not just the Australian project.
8Financing too will be on an integrated scale.
8India does offer a ready market for the products from the coal-to-petrochem project

The Adanis have told the Australian government that the coal from the group's controversial Carmichael coal mine will be part of what what is being termed as “integrated pit-to-plug strategy”.
8The idea now seems to be to use coal from the Carmichael mine to power the massive coal-to-petrochemical project.
8Earlier, the Adanis had told the Australians that they would utilize the coal to light up a 100 million homes but that dream has gone sour with the Supreme Court order on the family's Mundra power plant.
8The coal-to-petrochemical plant now fits very well with the “integrated pit-to-plug strategy”, with the quantum of coal (35 million tonnes per annum) needed for the project to be supplied from a captive mine in Australia

When the Adanis unveiled their grand Rs 100,000 crore coal-to-petrochemical project in Gujarat last week, the question on everyone's mind was: How would they fund such a project?
8Cash strapped Indian banks will be unwilling to extend a helping hand beyond a point. The Adanis currently do not enjoy a credit profile of a kind needed to loan that kind of money.
8A Supreme Court order that did not allow a pass through of higher imported coal prices to the electric tariff out of their 4600 MW Mundra power project has forced the Adanis to put up the plant for sale at a token of Rs 1 despite spending billions of dollar to set it up.
8The family however cannot be faulted for the sheer scale of their ambition and their inability to give that up even in the face of looming adversity.
8In what can be termed as an attempt unprecedented in Indian economic history, the Adanis are now trying to secure funding for their Rs 100,000 crore project from sources that few Indian entrepreneurs could dream up

In the euphoria surrounding the continuing spike in the consumption growth of petrol and diesel and the hectic pace at which new refining capacity is being built in India, oil companies must pay heed to the quiet but significant changes that are laying the ground for a paradigm shift from internal combustion engine vehicles to zero emission vehicles.
8It is already known that India has plans to go for an all-electric fleet by 2030 though for now it may look like a lofty target.
8But as various stakeholders look to understand the implications of this transition, the website provides answers here on the following questions:
8How would the current industry ecosystem change as a result of the electrification drive by the government?
8Which vehicle segments are likely to lead the drive toward electrification?
8How will the charging infrastructure evolve and what charging models would be the most suitable in the Indian context?

It is already a well known fact that electric two wheelers and even three wheelers have already become effective in comparison to their fossil-fuel run counterparts.
8The total cost of ownership (TCO) of an electric scooter is 22% lower than petrol-run scooter used for commercial purposes despite a higher acquisition cost due to low maintenance and comparatively very low fuel/electricity cost.
8More importantly, however, latest calculations show that cost dynamics of running an electric four wheeler or an electric passenger vehicle (EV) for commercial purposes, with a high vehicle utilization, are quite favorable when compared to internal combustion vehicles.
8After the implementation of BS-VI emission norms in 2020, petrol and diesel passenger vehicles are expected to get pricier by 8%-15%, which will further reduce the differential between ICE vehicles and EVs, making electric cars viable for adoption by retail customers as well.
8Also find out how viability can be attained for electric buses as well as light and heavy commercial vehicles

Have the Iranians signed a deal to hand over the Farzad-B block to the Russians?
8The Russian and Iranian oil ministers had signed a number of deals last week when Russian President Vladimir Putin was in Tehran.
8Russian oil producer Rosneft and theNIOC agreed on a deal to work together on a number of strategic projectsin Iran worth up to $30 billion, said Rosneft’s Managing Director Igor Sechin.
8The recent deals appeared to be part of a strategy by Putin to boost Moscow’s political and economic influence in the region.
8“We are talking about several oil and gas fields, which we will develop with our partners,” Rosneft boss told reporters
8Iran had earlier said that it was in talks with Russian companies for the development of the Farzad-B block.
Comment: The Iranians are capable of all kinds of adjustment and they can back down from any deal. This was evident from how Tehran decided to renege on a deal for an LNG project signed and sealed by then petroleum minister Mani Shankar Aiyer because, on hindsight, the price of gas was found to be too low. Then again, on the Farzad-B block, the Iranians are not sticking to their commitments and there were reports that the field is to be handed over to the Russians. If indeed the Farzad-B block is part of the deal with the Russia, India may still end up using its clout to wrestle something out for itself. For with Trump threatening to impose more sanctions, India will be needed by Iran as a reliable buyer of its crude when European buyers back off. Moreover, if a gas pipeline is indeed being built to India, then again, New Delhi will have enough of a say to get its fingers in the Farzad pie, perhaps in collaboration with the Russians.

Now that Russia has taken a decision to build the Iran-India pipeline, attention is shifting to Russia's long term vision of an "Eurasian Integration".
8Russia claims to be legitimate leader of the global oil & gas community, emphasizing that the US shale gas revolution will run its course and it will be the "deep reserves" of the kind available in Russia which will allow for a sustainable energy future for the globe. In an analysis covering its vision of being a oil &gas supplier for all of Europe and Asia,said, "Since 2010, the largest US Shale Oil companies had a negative free cash flow in 28 quarters out of 29."
8The sustainability of the Russian hydrocarbon industry is pegged on its low cost of production.
8Russia is trying to use pipelines to build its gas business globally, including lines to China besides Europe
8The Iran-India pipeline is part of this wider vision.
8"Greater Eurasia is a huge economic and energy space that has all the prerequisites forcooperation and economic integration," the Russian vision statement claims.

The website carries here the contours of the Iran-India pipeline that the Russians have now evinced interest in constructing from 2018 onwards.
8The project cost is pegged at around $5 billion and it will ferry around 30 mmscmd of gas from Iran to India.
8It is expected that the landed price of piped gas will be up to $2/mmbtu cheaper than LNG as only transportation tariff will be applicable in comparison to liquefaction charges, transportation tariff and regas charges applicable to LNG.
8The point to note is that a reasonable amount of footwork has already been done in terms of identifying and testing out deepwater pipeline manufacturers, lay vessels and a repair systems for the deepwater pipeline.

The LNG market continues to change at a rapid pace.
Funding is changing dramatically:
8Lenders are now trying to adjust to a world where the funding will not be grounded on back-to-back long term gas off agreements. Instead the spot market will play an increasingly pivotal role with improved operational efficiencies supporting LNG economics and stronger pricing benchmarks strengthening the market’s hedging capabilities.
8In fact by the early 2020s, LNG industry stakeholders will be facing a very different market from the one we know today
Markets to become flexible and transparent
8A liquid, flexible and transparent spot market will be key to breaking price segmentation, improving fair competition, boosting energy accessibility for new markets, and facilitating the increasingly vital role gas is set to play in the future energy mix.
Buyers shifting risk up the supply chain
8The allocation of risk is shifting to different parts of the supply chain; buyers face new risks in their home markets, and are pushing that risk back up the supply chain to LNG suppliers, making the traditional LNG supply model no longer fit for purpose.

In the face of changing dynamics, LNG vessel technology is also undergoing rapid change.
8Better insulation and propulsion systems can help reduce the amount of gas that evaporates during the voyage, known as “boil-off.”
8LNG ship owner and operator GasLog predicts that just 0.085% of a cargo will boil off each day on newer vessels, down from 0.15% a decade ago.
8Tankers that can re-liquefy boil-off gas will see that rate fall even further, to 0.045% per day, the company has said.
8Reduced boil-off gives market participants the ability to do what many in the industry refer to as “slow steaming”.
8This is a new approach, where sailing at slower speeds while waiting to see if a better spot offer comes along.
8All of this is happening even as LNG charter hire rates continue to see new lows.

Sabine Pass' 115% Henry Hub plus liquefaction” pricing formula as the US standard for FOB Gulf Coast exports may eventually not be working for US LNG exports. In this model offtakers commit to sunk-cost liquefaction fees ranging from $2.25-$3.50/MMBtu that must be paid regardless of whether the service is used.
8A new pricing model evolved by Dominion’s Cove Point, Cameron LNG and Freeport LNG offers buyers additional portfolio diversity with a slightly different take on pricing. Under this contract structure, buyers also commit to a sunk-cost liquefaction fee, but they have the option to source their own gas and hedge price risk further upstream.
8Yet another pricing model by Tellurian Investments for its proposed Driftwood LNG project allows for smaller contracts, totaling about 7 million mt/year, under five-year agreements at
a fixed delivered ex-ship price of $8/MMBtu, starting from 2023.
8LNG priced against Henry Hub was seen as attractive by many Asian buyers looking to reduce costs in the face of high oil prices. But following a steep decline in the price of spot LNG, Henry Hub has lost much of that appeal.
8There are many who claim that if Henry Hub prices rise as forecasted to above $3.50/MMBtu by 2021, they would present challenges for those trying to sell US LNG into Asia, if current depressed spot LNG prices persist.
8"Must run" LNG contracts will not longer be sufficient and other pricing models are already coming up.

Even though background work to get the Anadarko operated Mozambique block -- in which the Indian trio of ONGC, OIL and BPCL are heavily invested -- off the ground has started in earnest, lenders are still waiting for the promoters to pull off back-to-back gas offtake deals before financial closure can be brought about.
8There are new kinds of open funding (without offtake agreement) instruments coming up, but they are still far off the horizon. For even through the LNG funding market has evolved, as of now financiers are still fighting shy of extending loans to a project where sales are not pegged to a credit worthy offtaker.
8What is more, in an adjacent field in Mozambique, ENI was able to to strike an FID for the 3.4 million mt/year Coral FLNG in June, 2017 on the back of lending by a consortium of 15 international banks and guaranteed by five export credit agencies.
8The funding came only after ENI signed an agreement with BP for the sale of all the LNG produced at Coral South for more than 20 years.
8Anadarko will have to pull off a similar coup before FID can happen.

GAIL has proudly claimed that it has fully tied up its US offtake contracts but that is a lot of filibustering in such as claim that the maverick GAIL management is now well known for.
8The point to note is that GAIL is tied up with long term gas off take contract while these tie-ups are extremely short term in nature.
8Unless long term offtake deals are signed, they will continue to remain a big risk
8A hit of USD1/mmBtu on the whole quantity -- which is entirely a possibility -- could wipe out as much as 22% of its EBITDA.
8Right now, GAIL faces a serious problem on the offtake front without a resolution in sight.
8The problem is that there is wall of silence around it.
8How can a publicly funded company stay completely quiet on a development that can burn a big hole in its profitability and, if the condition persists as it well might, wipe out its networth still remains a big mystery.
