Government-owned explorers ONGC and Oil India face an additional royalty burden of more than $1 billion after the Narendra Modi government decided that they would have to pay royalty to crude oil-producing states such as Assam, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu at ‘pre-discount’ rates. “It has been decided that ONGC and Oil India will pay royalty to all similarly placed crude oil-producing states at pre-discount prices effective February 1, 2014, pending the outcome of the special leave appeal filed by ONGC before the Supreme Court,” said a petroleum ministry order dated July 15. |

ONGC has hired US-based petroleum reserves certifier Ryder Scott to review the hydrocarbon present and recoverable in the 1,850 sq km GSPC-owned block KG-OSN-2001/3 in the East Coast. This is in the wake of the central government-owned explorer, which is negotiating a deal to pick up a majority stake in the GSPC deep water block, finding that the actual hydrocarbon that could be taken out is far less than the presumed 7.6 trillion cubic feet (tcf) — probably not even half that. |

ONGC will have to bear a heavy loan repayment burden if it buys more than 50% equity stake in the Krishna Godavari (KG) basin deep-water block — KG-OSN-2001/3 — held by Gujarat government-owned GSPC. The debt burden, coupled with ONGC’s estimate that the high-pressure-high-temperature block off the east coast has far less than the presumed 7.6 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas, could mean that size of a potential deal between the two firms would be much lower than the reported $2-2.5 billion. |

NEW DELHI: State-run Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) is trying hard, and succeeding, in lowering its exploration cost write-offs, one of the biggest concerns for all oil firms. The write-off has nearly halved in a year and is expected to shrink further. Explorers spend millions of dollars gathering seismic data and drilling wells to discover areas that can commercially produce oil and gas. They have to write off expenses when the wells drilled in the process turn out to be dry, or with reserves that can't be exploited commercially. |
