Oil India Ltd, a a premier National Oil Company having “Navratna” status under Ministry of and Natural Gas, Govt. of India invites EOI from interested prospective gas consumers for feed gas available for allocation on fall back basis from Dandewalla (DND) , Tanot & Baggitiba gas fields of Limited in Western Rajasthan, under Jaisalmer district

Availability of Gas – a) Presently OIL is supplying gas to thermal power plant of Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL) at Ramgarh through pipeline of M/S GAIL and at present, commitment from OIL to supply the gas to RRVUNL is 0.7 MMSCMD. Present MOU/Agreement with M/S GAIL for gas sale is up to October 2014, which is likely to be extended nearer the time.

b) Depending on shortfall in upliftment by RRVUNL, gas availability ranges from 0.05 to 0.40 MMSCMD throughout the year as has been observed by us from the past trends. However, the availability of the gas is purely on fall back basis and if RRVUNL through GAIL is not able to lift the committed quantity of gas, only in that case, gas would be available for sale.

c) Gas is supplied to power plant at Ramgarh through a 300 mm x 60 km long pipeline of GAIL.

d) Supply pressure at the custody transfer at DND GPC (Gas Processing Centre) is around 28 kg/cm2 and terminal pressure at Ramgarh is around 18 kg/cm2.

e) The gas composition is shown in Annexure – I. The gas is dehydrated at OIL‟s DND GPC.

f) Depending upon the availability, gas shall be made available ex-OIL installation/RRVUNL supply point at Ramgarh. The prospective interested parties will make their own arrangements to evacuate gas from OIL‟s installation or from RRVUNL supply point to their respective plants/units at no cost to OIL.

Note:-This EOI is not an invitation for bids. After reviewing the EOI, a pretender conference may be held where the parties shall have to give their technical presentation on their capabilities. Based on the outcome of the pre-tender conference, OIL may float tender for the required service.

1.0 Methodology of allocation of gas :

i) Only interested parties from the following Sectors can submit the EOI indicating the „Priority Sector‟ they belong to, while submitting the EOI. The sectoral priority for consideration of the EOI is shown as under: i. Gas Based Urea fertilizer plants ii. LPG Plants iii. Power Plants supplying power to the grid/state utilities at regulated rates under PPA. iv. CGD systems for domestic and transport sectors v. Steel / for feedstock purposes. vi. CGD for industrial and Commercial Consumers. vii. Any other customers for captive and merchant power, feedstock or fuel purpose.

ii) The Prevailing price of gas is USD 4.20/MMBTU (for calorific value of 10,000 kcal) ex-OIL installation as notified by MoP&NG, Govt. of India. The gas price is inclusive of Royalty but exclusive of Taxes, Duties, service tax, education cess, sales tax/VAT, octroi, marketing margin and all other statutory levies as applicable at present or to be levied in future by the Central or State Government or Municipality or any other local body or bodies payable on sale of gas by OIL and these levies shall be borne by the buyer over and above the gas price.
