The Economics of Petroleum Exploration and Development in India The economics of petroleum exploration and development in India By Sajith Venugopal A thesis submitted to the University of New South Wales in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering July 2005 School of Petroleum Engineering The University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, AUSTRALIA. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Mr. Guy Allinson from the School of Petroleum Engineering, University of New South Wales, for his excellent advice and enduring guidance. Without his encouragement and wisdom, my research endeavour would have been far more difficult. I thank him for his patient reading of my write- ups and the opportunities he provided me to conduct occasional tutorials and lectures. I am also extremely grateful to Deepak Mehta and Madhu Nainan from Petrowatch for granting me access to their exclusive database, the interest that they showed in my work played a pivotal role in motivating me to complete this research. I would like to extend my warmest thanks to my flat-mates Vivek, Frank and Ankur. They were my family in Australia. Each of them has given me great memories that I would cherish throughout my lifetime. They have been the best friends that I could wish for and have helped me greatly through my ups and downs. I express my deepest thanks to my parents K.P.Venugopal and Valsala Venugopal and my siblings Ajith and Anjali for their unconditional love and support. They have been there for me whenever I doubted my capability to complete this thesis. Without their motivation and blessings this thesis would not have been a reality. I also thank my dear Leena for her patience and love through the difficult times. Her presence in my life was a key ingredient in the drive that I had to complete this thesis and I am looking forward to my life with her. I dedicate this thesis to my parents Abstract This thesis provides the background to and an analysis of the economics of exploring for and developing oil and gas discoveries in India. It is aimed at helping the oil and gas industry assess the financial attractiveness of investment in that country. The thesis describes the geography, climate, infrastructure, and energy market with an emphasis on how these affect upstream oil and gas industry investment. A detailed description and analysis is given of the petroleum production sharing contract ("PSC") terms embodied in India's New Exploration Licensing Policy ("NELP"), and demonstrates that, depending on negotiations, Government Take under NELP terms is likely to be in the range 50% to 60% for a stand-alone petroleum development. However, PSC terms are regressive for marginal discoveries. In particular, State royalties might hinder the development of small or marginal discoveries and render them uneconomic. As an illustration, depending on the oil price, up to 6 MMbbls of oil in otherwise economically viable small fields in a geological basin might be made uneconomic and left stranded because of the effect of royalties. The thesis also analyses the economics of developing a sample of actual Indian oil and gas fields offshore the east and west coasts of the country in shallow and deep water. Onshore field developments are not analysed because of lack of data. All of the offshore developments analysed are profitable based on past and current economic conditions and knowledge. The majority are also relatively low-risk investments. Finally, the thesis evaluates the profitability of new oil and gas exploration and development offshore the east and west coasts of India. The required minimum size of new exploration prospects are in the range 10 to 17 MMbbls for oil prospects and 138 to 1,100 Bcf for gas prospects assuming a low probability of success. Once a new discovery is made, the required minimum economically developable reserves are 4 to 12 MMbbls for oil discoveries and 63 to 1,400 Bcf for gas discoveries.

SHRI JAI PRAKASH NARAYAN YADAV: Will the Minister of COAL be pleased to state: (a) whether the Government has made allocation of coal quota to each State to meet the requirement of coal at local level across the country; (b) if so, the quantum of coal in tonnes allocated across the country during each of the last three years, State-wise along with the coal reserves from where coal allocation was made, location-wise; and (c) whether coal is allocated in a discriminatory manner across the country, due to which consumers have to pay higher prices for coal at local level and if so, the details thereof, State-wise? ANSWER MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND COAL (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL) (a) to (c ): A statement is laid on the table of the House. Statement referred to in reply to parts (a) to (c) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No.210 for answer on 26.12.2018 asked by SHRI JAI PRAKASH NARAYAN YADAV: (a) The New Coal Distribution Policy, 2007 (NCDP, 2007), provided for distribution of coal to those units/consumers in small and medium sector across the country whose requirement was less than 4,200 tonnes per annum and were otherwise not having any access to purchase coal or concluded Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) for coal supply with coal companies. The earmarked coal quantity would be distributed through State Nominated Agencies (SNAs) notified by the State Governments. This provision of the NCDP, 2007 has been amended on 27.09.2016 by which the annual cap of 4,200 tonnes per annum for sale through SNAs has been increased to 10,000 tonnes per annum and the phrase of small and medium sector as mentioned in NCDP, 2007 has been amended as small, medium and others.

  • IMPORT SUBSTITUTION to BOOST DOMESTIC COAL CONSUMPTION Monthly Coal News Commentary: May - June 2020
    19 June 2020, Volume XVII, Issue 2 Energy News Monitor IMPORT SUBSTITUTION TO BOOST DOMESTIC COAL CONSUMPTION Monthly Coal News Commentary: May - June 2020 India accounting for more than four fifths of India’s domestic production. Domestic Production & Demand CIL’s Odisha-based subsidiary MCL reported a 42.6 IL which accounts for over 80 percent of the percent growth in top soil removal from coal seams domestic fuel output, has been mandated by the C during the current fiscal up to 25 May 2020 against the government to replace at least 100 mt of imports with corresponding period last year. Highest among all coal domestically-produced coal in the ongoing fiscal. The producing companies, the subsidiary cleared 27.51 mcm Centre had earlier asked power generating companies, of top soil and extraneous matter till 25 May, compared including NTPC Ltd, Tata Power and Reliance Power, to to 19.29 mcm during the previous corresponding period reduce import of the dry fuel for blending purposes and — a volume increase of 8.22 mcm. Despite lukewarm replace it with domestic coal. The government has also demand for the dry fuel from the consuming sectors, given directions to target thermal coal import substitution, amid Covid-19 slowdown, MCL managed to produce particularly when huge coal stock inventory is available in 20.54 mt of coal up to 25 May this year, the highest the country this year. State governments have been asked among all coal companies of CIL. not to import coal and take domestic supply from CIL, which has the fuel in abundance.
