The stage however, is set for change; with continued economic growth and better living standards the per capita energy 52.9% consumption in India is expected to be more than double by 2031-32 to around 1,124 kgoe, though this will still be lower than the 2009 world average of 1,839 kgoe. 1.3% Increasing population, economic activity and rising 5.3% income levels with further push the demand for energy in India. The Integrated Energy Policy has estimated that 1.6% India’s primary energy supply will need to increase by 4 to 5 times and its electricity generation capacity by 6 9.8% to 7 times over its 2003-04 levels to deliver a sustained growth rate of 9 percent through 2031-32 with primary 29.0% energy supply growth of around 5.8 percent per year. On the other hand, commercial energy supply would need to grow faster at about 6.8 percent per annum as Oil Nuclear Energy it will incrementally replace non-commercial energy over this period. Natural Gas Hydro electricity The primary energy consumption in India is dominated Coal Renew- ables by coal and hydrocarbons, with less than 10 percent Source: BP Statistical Review 2012 of energy accounted by other sources like hydro, renewables and nuclear. In 2011, oil and gas accounted for around ~40 percent of India's total primary energy consumption, next only to coal, which accounts for ~53 percent (Figure 1). In the last five years, India has averaged a growth rate of 8% and the demand for energy has been putting pressure on its supply sources. It is an established fact that if India continues to grow at 8% or so in the coming years a higher than average demand for energy will persist. In such a scenario, it is expected that there will be continued pressure on supply sources in the next decade largely driven by increasing urbanization and increasing demand for consumption. 4 Oil & Gas Demand Supply Scenario Figure 2: Production and consumption of Crude Oil India has 0.5% of world’s proven oil reserves; however it houses more than 15 percent of the world’s population. 78 4,000 The current reserve to production ration is ~18 years. 76.50 75.11 75.30 3,500 In terms of Natural Gas, India has 1,241 billion cubic 76 ) 74.97 3,000 74 meters (bcm) of proven and indicated reserves, which is 2,500 72.89 0.6 percent of the world's total proven gas reserves.

Natural gas constitutes around 10 percent of India's total primary energy basket, which is well below the world average of 23.7 percent in 2011. As per estimates from Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, by 2025, the share of natural gas in India’s energy basket is likely to reach 20 percent. The increased consumption of natural gas is expected to be fed both by increased domestic production and import of natural gas Resource Allocation and Pricing | 5 The natural gas consumption, in India was about 180 Figure 4: Demand Supply Scenario of Natural mmscmd in FY11 as against an estimated demand of Gas for Power Sector (mmscmd) approximately 279 mmscmd in 2011 (as per 11th Five 450 Year Plan). Domestic supplies are not matching with the demand of oil and natural gas in India. Mature gas 391 400 fields like that of ONGC (Panna Mukta Tapti and Bassein) and Niko in Surat have declining production and mature Bombay High oil fields are also past their peak 350 313 production levels. 300 1.3% In 2002, Reliance Industries Ltd made a large discovery 5.3% in the Krishna Godavari Basin (KG Basin) with an 250 231 estimated 337 bcm of gas reserves. Hence, there was 1.6% a sudden jump in domestic supply in 2010 (45 percent 200 175 increase over 2009). The field started production in 151 started in 2009. The initial production estimates were 150 125 28, 53 and 62 mmscmd respectively for FY10, FY11 and 110 FY12. RIL was able to meet the FY10 target by achieving 100 100 a total production of 40 mmscmd, but after peaking at 65 70 61.5 mmscmd in March 2010, the production started declining alarmingly to the extent that the current 50 production levels hover around less than 30 mmscmd. Geological complexity of the basin and high water and 0 sand ingress are the indicated causes of the decline in 1999-00 2001-02 2006-07 2011-12 2024-25 output volumes. Supply Demand Power and Fertilizer sectors are two major consumers Source: CEA of gas in India. Other consumers include CGD, LPG, refineries, etc. Availability of domestic natural gas is an increasing concern for all the consuming sectors. There has been limited capacity addition in the past for fertilizer plants based on domestic natural gas. Similarly, there has been limited focus on developing natural gas based thermal projects which could have been better in terms of their capital cost, project construction time and also environmental concerns vis-à-vis the coal based projects. The price of imported re-gasified LNG is more than thrice as expensive and is thus considered prohibitive for development of plants which need to enter into PPA’s on a competitive bidding basis India is highly dependent on imports for both for crude oil as well as natural gas and with increasing demand and reducing domestic supplies, this dependence is expected to increase further. Currently, ~76% of the crude oil and ~21% of the natural gas is imported. Import dependence to increase to 80% by FY17 for crude oil and 35% by FY17 for Natural gas. 6 Demand Supply Scenario of Coal in India Figure 5: Demand Supply Scenario of Coal (MMT) India has fifth largest coal reserves in the world and it is XI FYP XII FYP (MT XIII FYP third largest producer after China and USA.

  • Precept 4. Fiscal Regimes and Contract Terms
    Precept 4. Fiscal regimes and contract terms Technical Guide 1. Introduction1 Fiscal regimes and their implementation are critical to the overall strength of the resource sector decision chain. The effectiveness of a regime will depend on clarity with respect to its objectives, the instruments chosen to meet those objectives and their administration, relative to the economic situation in the country. 2 These themes and related fiscal issues are discussed here. This Precept first provides a high level outline of the objectives, trade-offs and guiding principles that can help governments manage their extractive fiscal systems. It then describes the three main types of fiscal regimes: tax-royalty, production sharing and service contracts; and the individual fiscal instruments that are incorporated in each. The Precept also discusses the importance of having a set of stable fiscal terms, mechanisms to ensure this stability, and, when necessary, how to renegotiate terms. The Precept concludes with a discussion of tax administration issues. This Precept focuses on the instruments of fiscal policy and administration. A discussion of the actors is provided in Precept 3. Resource Sector Characteristics An appreciation of relevant resource sector characteristics is an essential prerequisite to success in this area. As such, this Precept begins by detailing the main characteristics of extractive industries in low-income countries that are relevant to the task of fiscal policy formation. The oil, gas and mining sectors have a number of features which, while bearing on all links in the resource sector decision chain, present particular challenges to the 1 This Precept is applicable principally to the treatment of non-state owned extractive companies.

  • Paper 1.3 the Use of Process Simulation Models in Hydrocarbon
    Paper 1.3 The Use of Process Simulation Models in Hydrocarbon Allocation Systems Phillip Stockton and Alan Spence Smith Rea Energy Limited 24th International North Sea Flow Measurement Workshop 24th – 27th October 2006 The Use of Process Simulation Models in Hydrocarbon Allocation Systems Phillip Stockton and Alan Spence, Smith Rea Energy Limited 1 INTRODUCTION This paper discusses the use of process simulation models in allocation systems associated with upstream and midstream hydrocarbon processing facilities - typically these include both offshore installations and onshore gas plants and oil terminals. It is concerned specifically with steady state simulation models and hence does not include a discussion of dynamic models. The main purpose of simulation models used within hydrocarbon allocation systems is to provide information regarding how hydrocarbons are behaving in a process plant. The use of simulation models ranges from the prediction of physical properties and calculation of shrinkage factors, to full integration of the model, (using cloned components) within the allocation process itself. The paper describes the appropriate construction of a simulation model for allocation purposes and incorporation of available measured plant data. It also discusses the commonly available commercial simulation packages and talks about issues such as stability, reproducibility, licensing and maintenance associated with such models. A novel alternative approach to constructing process models (using chemical engineering calculations) outwith a commercial package is described. This alternative approach has been implemented in a number of North Sea allocation systems and provides the advantages of: direct integration into software, robustness and transparency. Finally the paper concludes with a discussion regarding the necessity of a process simulation model and whether the allocation results can be replicated without recourse to a model at all.

The report’s findings show that the oil and natural gas industry has a widespread economic impact throughout all sectors of the economy and across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. These impacts result directly from the employment and production within the oil and natural gas industry, indirectly through the industry’s purchases of intermediate and capital goods from a variety of other US industries, by the personal purchases of employees and business owners both within the oil and natural gas industry and out of the additional income in the supply chain to the oil and natural gas industry, and from spending by shareholders out of the dividends received from oil and natural gas companies.
