2 GAS IN INDIA Mission The year witnessed significant efforts by the government to make the natural gas sector more competitive and efficient. Its decision to double natural gas prices to $8.4 mmbtu effective from April 2014, based on the recommendations of the Rangarajan Committee, is expected to boost investments in the sector. The government is also considering allowing exploration companies to bid based on the targeted output from the first day of production. Reduced uncertainty over pricing and PSCs will provide the government an impetus to move forward with NELP X by late , under which as many as 68 blocks covering over 270,000 square km are expected to be offered. Meanwhile, the gap between the demand and supply of natural gas continued to increase and reached bcm in Production from the KG-D6 Basin has slipped to an all-time low of 14.8 mmscmd. The supply is only bcm, much lower than the demand, which is estimated at bcm. CBM production currently constitutes only 0.5 per cent of the gas supply. The segment holds potential but requires a favourable policy. Shale gas, on the other hand, seems some years away, as a policy framework and resource estimates are still awaited. As a result, LNG imports have emerged as the only source to bridge the gap. At present, it accounts for almost 30 per cent of the total gas supply. The share of LNG is expected to increase further, as capacity is estimated to reach 48 mmtpa by , almost thrice the current capacity. A higher domestic price next year will also make LNG players more competitive. The lack of domestic gas is having repercussions on the development of pipeline infrastructure, as several pipeline projects have been stalled. Investments in the CGD segment are also expected to increase with the change in bidding criteria. The modified norm specifies an increased share of network and transmission charges along with limits on annual variation, which is expected to result in more rational bidding. This was required since no progress has been made in the award of GAs under the third bidding round. The supply outlook for natural gas is uncertain even though some improvement in supply is expected from the KG-D6 gas fields and with commencement of production from the GSPC and ONGC fields on the east coast in the next few years. Meanwhile, the demand continues to increase, despite the economic slowdown, driven by the competitive advantage in terms of cost and environmental impact vis-à-vis other fuels. The mission of this conference is to provide an update on gas sector development in India, to discuss the recent policy and regulatory developments affecting exploration and production, to examine the prospects of LNG, and to highlight noteworthy initiatives and projects. Target Audience The conference is targeted at officials and managers from: - Natural Gas Producers - Policymakers and Administrators - Steel Manufacturers - Natural Gas Buyers - Government Agencies - Other Industrial Users - LNG Suppliers - Regulatory Agencies - Ports and Shipping Businesses - Potential LNG Buyers - Equipment and Technology Providers - Financial Institutions - Oil and Gas Exploration and - CBM Companies - Research Organisations Production Companies - Independent Shale Operators - Industry Analysts - Pipeline Operators - Power Plant Operators - Consulting and Legal firms - City Gas Distributors - Fertiliser Manufacturers - Etc.
