FPSO for KG-DWN-98/2: ONGC finds itself in a corner
Feb 22:
The last bids have come in for the FPSO tender for the KG-DWN-98/2 this week.
8And the results are a surprise and not what ONGC would have ordinarily wanted. In fact, the public sector E&P major seems to be finding itself in a bit of a corner.
8According to well-placed industry sources, the entire selection process is expected to be the subject of intense scrutiny at some point in time

New LNG terminals will find the going hard
Feb 22:
With a number of LNG terminals now coming up, the terminal utilization rate is expected to fall dramatically going ahead.
8Estimates show that LNG offtake will grow at a significantly slower pace than regasification capacity in the next four years.
8Since the Dahej utilization rate is projected at 100%, new facilities will have to do with much lower utilization rate than what the average utilization rate seems to be suggesting.
8A slow rise in demand for LNG in the face of rising domestic output is one of the primary reason for for low capacity utilization
8Also get a projection of how LNG prices are going to behave going ahead

Production Enhancement Contracts-I: Service companies may become the biggest investors in Indian E&P
Feb 22:
After the big investments by Cairn India and BP, the next round of big money in the E&P sector may well come in not from oilfield owners but from service companies of the likes of Schlumberger, Halliburton and Baker Hughes.
8One such company is reported to be willing to invest more than a billion dollars for a field under a service contract with ONGC. Clearly what the fields have to offer is something indeed quite valuable for a service provider to put up that kind of money.

Production Enhancement Contracts-II: Service companies are not all that excited either
Feb 22:
There is a lot of controversy over the Production Enhancement Contract that ONGC and OIL are planning to work out with specialist service companies such as Schlumberger, Halliburton and Baker Hughes.
8Trade unions are already up in arms, claiming that such contracts are a sell out of national assets to multinationals. The government and the top brass of these companies see it as an attempt to push ageing oil fields out of the stranglehold the ONGC bureaucracy and into the hands of service companies who can bring in money and new technology to push their recovery rates higher.
8Depending upon the view you take, the glass is either half empty or half full.
8In this melee, no one seems to be interested in what the service companies are thinking. Are they all equally excited about the prospects on offer?
