The investment in the expansion of energy and petrochemicals  projects represents one of the  largest such investments globally. The proposed  coke gasification facility is also among the largest such projects ever built.

 RIL has announced that it has selected Phillips66’s E-Gas™ technology for its planned gasification plants at Jamnagar. The planned gasification plants at Jamnagar will be among the largest in the world and will process petroleum coke and coal into synthesis gas utilizing the EGas™ technology. The synthesis gas will be used as feedstock for a new chemical complex and will fuel the refinery's existing gas turbine power generation units. Phillips 66 will license Gas™  technology to RIL and provide process engineering design and technical support gasification technology relating to the process area.

 Government of India, by its letter of 02 May 2012 has communicated that it  proposes to disallow certain costs which the PSC relating to Block KG-DWN-98/3 entitles RIL to recover.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS

RIL achieved a turnover for Q1 FY 13 of Rs.94,926 Cr, an increase of 8.1% over the trailing quarter. Higher prices accounted for 4.1% growth in revenue while higher volumes accounted for the balance 4.0% growth.

Exports were higher by 7.7% at Rs.55,261 Cr as against Rs.51,290 Cr in the trailing quarter. Higher exports were mainly on account of increase in volumes of refining products by 8.8 % over the trailing quarter. However, on a Y-o-Y basis, higher prices resulted in turnover increasing by  13.4 % from  Rs.83,689 Cr to  Rs.94,926 Cr. Exports were higher by  6.8% at  Rs.55,261 Cr as against  Rs.51,737 Cr in the corresponding period of the previous year.

On a sequential quarter basis, raw materials consumption increased by 10.9% to Rs.79,335 Cr on account of incremental  crude processed and higher exchange rate partially offset by lower average crude prices. On a Y-o-Y basis, raw material consumption increased by 23.1% from Rs.64,443 Cr to Rs.79,335 Cr mainly on account of higher exchange rate.

Employee costs for the quarter were Rs.847 Cr. Employee costs were higher by 41.9 % over the trailing quarter on account of one-time performance linked payments for the previous year’s performance. However, employee costs were lower by 3.5% from Rs.878 Cr to Rs.847 Cr as against the corresponding period of the previous year.

Other expenditure increased by 17.0% from Rs.4,933 Cr to Rs. 5,770 Cr  over the trailing quarter and 34.2 % over the corresponding period of the previous year. The increase is primarily due to higher power & fuel expenses and higher exchange differences.

Depreciation (including depletion and  amortization) was  lower by  8.5% at  Rs.2,434 Cr against  Rs.2,659 Cr over the trailing quarter. This was  primarily  due to  lower depletion charges in oil & gas and lower depreciation on petrochemical assets due to WDV method.

Cash outflow on account of capital expenditure for the  year amounted to  Rs.2,398 Cr.The increase in capital expenditure is primarily on account of  capital expenditure incurred for the Petrochemical Projects at Dahej and Silvassa. The net capital expenditure for Q1 FY 13was Rs.7,656 Cr including Rs.5,218 Cr capitalized on account of exchange difference on loans.  
                                        
RIL retained its domestic credit ratings of AAA from CRISIL and FITCH and has investment grade ratings for its international debt from Moody’s and S&P as Baa2 and BBB respectively.

DOMESTIC OPERATIONS : KG-D6

The KG-D6 field produced 0.9 million barrels of crude oil, and 104.40 BCF of natural gas,  which was lower by 36.7% and 33.1% respectively over the previous period. The reduction in production was due to reservoir complexity and natural decline. Production of gas condensate was 0.1 million barrels, reduction of 30.6% over the previous period.

As compared to Q4 FY12, the decrease in oil production by 17 %, in gas production by 9% and in condensate production by  1% was due to a reduction is reservoir pressure associated with production from the field.

Production from KG-D6 has resulted in cumulative sales of 1,869 BCF (52.92 BCM) since start of production while sales for 1Q FY 12-13 was about 103.35 BCF (2.93 BCM).

Significant efforts towards augmenting production from KG D6 have been undertaken during the quarter.

For KG-D6, RIL is planning to submit Revised Field Development Plan (RFDP) for D1-D3 which is aimed at maximizing gas recovery from the existing fields. It also plans to further pursue approval of

RFDP of D 26 (MA) submitted in the earlier quarter. Further, to expedite the development projects of other discoveries, RIL is preparing development plan(s) based on an integrated concept which is planned for submission in 3Q FY13.

RIL has also  commenced pre-development activities  in the D6 block  which includes Engineering Surveys i.e. Geophysical Surveys & Geotechnical Investigations and Conceptual Engineering and FEED.
