Consumption of raw materials increased by 85.4% to Rs.45,818 crore (US$ 10.0 billion) mainly on account of higher crude oil processed in the SEZ refinery.

Net operating margin was lower at 15.3% as compared to 19.7% in the corresponding period of the previous year due to base effect and softer margin environment in petrochemicals partially offset by incremental share of the higher margin Oil & Gas business.

During the quarter, production of gas condensate stood at 12,841 tonnes.
In line with the Government of India’s gas utilization policy, GSPAs have been executed, with 55 customers in the fertilizers, power, city gas distribution, steel, LPG, refinery and petrochemical sectors. During the quarter, GSPAs with two refineries and one power plant were signed.

Decrease in oil production at Panna-Mukta was due to six days shutdown in Panna in April 2010 while increase in natural gas production was due to incremental production from infill and PK wells.
Production from Tapti was 785 MMSCM of natural gas and 42,277 tonnes of condensate, a decrease of 6% and 18% respectively over the corresponding period of the previous year. The decrease in production was due to natural reserves decline.

Other Domestic Blocks

Dhirubhai-47 in Well AF1 in CB10 block
·         Dhirubhai-48 in Well AJ1 in CB10 block

Dhirubhai-50 in Well AN1 in CB10 block

Currently, three deepwater rigs are under operation for Exploration and one additional rig is expected in second half of the financial year 2010-11.

“We had yet another record quarter, due to high operating rates and improving margins across all our businesses. Reliance embarked on two major initiatives to create incremental value. We entered into joint ventures in shale gas to internationalise and diversify our upstream portfolio. Reliance has also committed itself to participate in the high growth and exciting area of broadband wireless. Both initiatives are in line with the strategy to identify and invest in new, value-creating businesses,” said Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani.
