8Estimates show that at current price differentials, the payback period will be less than 2 years
8Trucks can become a significant consumer of LNG, adding up as much as 48 MMTPA of extra LNG demand by 2035

The long term projections is that gas will no longer be used in vehicle mobility.
8For several reasons, CNG will not remain a viable fuel in Indian cities, even in the medium term perspective.
8Globally, as also in India, there is an increasing belief that LNG based trucks has a long term future. This is because LNG storage space can be up to 600 times less than CNG
8In the Indian market, the captive point to point segment can roll out quickly.  Trucks plying in container terminals, LPG/MS/HSD transportation trucks, automobile carriers, milk carriers, mining trucks and city/STC buses have been identified as possible segments which can be targeted initially.
8An estimate has shown that the the overall cost at the retail outlets level is expected to beRs 170-180/mmbtu. In the current pricing scenario, LNG pump price of about Rs 1050/MMBtu, which is about a viable Rs 54/kg.

Weatherford has introduced what it called the most disruptive technology ever in pipeline connectivity in deepwater oil fields.
8The technology applies artificial intelligence at every stage, from pipe manufacturing to well installation and removes the uncertainty of human judgment from the connection process.
8In doing so, the solution can minimize the chance of catastrophic well failures associated with poorly made up connections while significantly reducing the total cost of well ownership,  minimizing safety risks, and protecting corporate reputation.
