Dear Shareholders,
It gives me great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all of you to the 50th Annual General Meeting of your Company. Th e Annual Report for the year ended 31st March 2009, along with the Report of the Directors and Audited Accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2009, has already been circulated. With your permission, I shall take these as read.
Your Company completed 50 glorious years of its existence on 18th February, 2009. All of us are indeed proud to be a part of the Company in its long and eventful journey.
Industry Scenario
The year 2008-09 has been a difficult period in the Hydrocarbon Industry worldwide. We saw continued high demand for oil in emerging markets like India and China. It is also a fact that production is declining in certain regions where fi elds are maturing. Th e fall in oil prices has been quite rapid since the Indian crude basket climbed to the highest level of US$ 142.04 per barrel on July 3, 2008 and slumped to US$ 35.83 per barrel on December 24, 2008. In India, the demand for oil is increasing continuously and our country is importing 128.155 MMT of crude oil which is around 77% of its demand. Th is is expected to increase further in future. Th e country’s crude oil import bill was US$ 75.70 Billion in 2008-09 as against US$ 67.988 Billion last year. Your Company is putting all its efforts and resources to supplement the energy demands of the nation by increasing exploration and production activities.
Company Scenario
The year was full of challenges and struggles, but every Oilindian contributed in overcoming these challenges, stimulating change and growth in every facet of your Company’s operations.
Your Company is the second largest national oil and gas Company in India as measured by total proved plus probable oil and natural gas reserves and production for the year 2008-09. Besides the nominated PELs and MLs, your Company is now operating in India with 3 pre-NELP JV blocks (1 production and 2 exploratory) and 24 NELP blocks besides having participating interest in 17 Blocks in 7 countries overseas.
For fiscal 2009, the Company’s gross production amounted to approximately 24.95 million barrels of oil (3.47 MMT) and approximately 2.27 billion cubic meters of natural gas. Th is is approximately 10.41% and 6.91% of India’s total production of crude oil and natural gas, respectively.
Performance Recognition
You will be happy to know that your Company performed resiliently in an environment characterized by volatility in energy sector, oscillating crude oil prices and indications of a depressing market. Th e Company registered growth and came out with better results.
During the year, Dalal Street investment journal awarded your Company the “PSU with the highest Book Value award”. Th e award was given in a ceremony in Delhi by Mrs. Shiela Dixit, Chief Minister of Delhi. Your Company also received the prestigious Greentech Environmental Excellence Gold Award – 2008 for its eff orts in green movement and environmental protection in its oil fields.
You will be pleased to know that during the year your Company was honoured by the MOP&NG at the inaugural function of Oil Conservation Fortnight, OGCF-2008 at New Delhi, with the Best Overall Performance Award amongst upstream sector oil companies, for the activities carried out during Oil and Gas Conservation Fortnight-2008.
Four drilling rigs S-2, S-3, S-4 and S-7 of your Company were accredited with ISO 9001-2000 certification.
The Company’s 190-bed hospital (Oil India Hospital) at its fi eld headquarters was accredited with the Integrated Management System Certifi cation (ISO9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 18001:2007) during the year. We believe, Oil India Hospital is the fi rst public sector hospital in the north-east to be ISO accredited.
Physical Performance
In comparison with the previous year’s crude oil production of 3.10 MMT, this year the production is 3.47 MMT, an increase of over 12% compared to 2007- 08. Th is is the highest ever crude oil production achieved by your Company. Natural gas production was 2268.38 MMSCUM as compared to 2340.46 MMSCUM last year. While your Company achieved the highest daily rate of natural gas production of 6.43 MMSCMD from Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, the overall production during the year was lower due to less off take by consumers. LPG production was 47610 tonnes. Your Company has also increased its daily production potential of Natural Gas from Rajasthan to 0.93 MMSCMD. All these could be achieved despite the environmental problems in some of our major operational areas.
I am happy to state that the crude oil production since April, 2009, has also increased substantially and the production rate now is around 3.56 MMTPA. Further, the Company has since achieved highest ever natural gas production rate of 6.67 MMSCMD in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
Your Company continued to give more emphasis on 3D seismic survey and 3495 SQKM of 3D seismic data was acquired during the year which is the highest ever and about 305 % higher than that acquired in 2007-08. Your Company also completed acquisition and processing of fi rst ever 4D seismic survey over Dikom fi eld.
In overseas operations your Company completed 721 GLKM of 2D Seismic survey in Gabon and an additional 279 GLKM of 2D survey is being completed in 2009-10. 3D acquisition of 700 SQKM in Libya was also completed during the year and two wells are planned to be drilled in Libya during 2009-10.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company’s estimated independent proved plus probable crude oil reserves were approximately 577.47 million barrels and proved plus probable natural gas reserves were approximately 63.41 billion cubic meters. In addition your Company has a participating interest of 8.19 million barrels of proved plus probable reserves in the Kharsang fi elds in the Assam- Arakan basin in the State of Arunachal Pradesh.
Your Company made four discoveries during the year in the State of Assam. These discoveries were in West Madhuting Structure, West Makum, Madhuting Structure and in Mechaki West. Mechaki is a signifi cant discovery in upper Assam with a commercial oil and gas strike at a depth of more than 5556 m, one of the deepest commercial hydrocarbon discoveries in the country. In the discovery well (Mechaki Well No.2), a number of prospective oil and gas bearing sands with a total net hydrocarbon pay of about 50 m have been encountered. The well has been tested to a production potential of over 1000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Th is signifi cant discovery has opened up adjoining areas for further exploration of deep seated hydrocarbon prospects.
The achievement of drilling meterage during the year was 1,15,867 m. Four new charter hire rigs in addition to two existing charter hire rigs have become operational, taking the total number of drilling rigs to 17 (Seventeen). During the last quarter itself your Company drilled 38369 m compared to 25511 m during the same period last year. During the year, three J-Bend and three Horizontal wells were drilled with encouraging results. We will continue induction of new technologies like J-Bend and Horizontal drilling and these eff orts are expected to substantially increase the drilling meterage and production.
Your Company’s improved quality control initiatives have helped to bring down the percentage of suspended water in delivered crude to refi neries to 0.42 % by weighted average, a signifi cant improvement compared to 0.46% in 2007-08. Eff orts are still on to bring down the same to the minimum extent possible to match international standards.
Financial Performance
Your Company’s total income for the year 2008-09 reached a level of Rs.8137.88 crores as compared to Rs 6795.46 crore for the previous year. The profit after tax at Rs.2161.68 crores is the highest ever earned by your Company inspite of sharing a very high subsidy burden on crude oil and LPG and paying higher amount of statutory levies compared to previous year. Th e total subsidy share was Rs. 3023.28 Crores in 2008-09, compared to Rs. 2305.09 Crores in 2007-08, which works out to an increase of 31.16 %. Net worth of your Company increased to Rs. 9331 crores up by 17.6 % over the previous year of Rs. 7933 crores.
You will be happy to learn that for the year 2008-09, your Board of Directors has recommended a fi nal dividend of 155%. Th is is over and above the interim dividend of 150%. Th e total dividend of 305% works out to Rs. 652.71 crores. Your Company had paid 275% dividend during the year 2007-08.
