Risk Analysis in Oil and Gas Sector
TOPIC
Risk management with respect to Oil & Gas Industry
INTRODUCTION
India is the fifth largest consumer of energy in the world, and is likely to surpass Japan and Russia to become the world's third biggest energy consumer by 2030. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), hydrocarbons satisfy major energy demand in India wherein coal and oil, together, represent about two-thirds of total energy use. Natural gas accounts for about 7 per cent share. India has about 5.7 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.
India's oil and gas sector has attracted investors round the globe as the country enjoys rich reserves of resources.
The petroleum and natural gas industry in India has attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) worth US$ 3, 332.78 million during April 2000 to December 2011. The Department further recorded US$ 196 million during April– December 2011-12, in the industry.
Oil & Gas- Production and Consumption * Crude Oil production was recorded at 31.87 million metric tonnes (MMT) for April-January 2012, as compared to the 31.41 MMT in April-January 2011 * Natural Gas production was 40, 156.7 million cubic metres (MCM) during April-January 2011 * During April-January 2012, 140.73 MMT of crude oil was refined, compared to 136.49 MMT of oil refined during corresponding period in 2011
India's average oil and liquids production for 2011 is estimated at 1.04 million barrels per day (B/D) which will touch the peak production at 1.06 million B/D in 2012. Further, giving its demand outlook, BMI projects consumption to rise sharply to 4.29 million B/D by 2016 from 3.44 million B/D in 2011. Total gas consumption is estimated by BMI at around 81 billion cubic meters (BCM) in 2016 from around 58 BCM in 2011.
Diesel & Petrol
Around 40 per cent of fuel consumption in India is satisfied by diesel. There would be an increase in India's fuel demand by 3.8 per cent which would be majorly accounted by diesel and petrol (gasoline). IEA

    Today, the United States is the largest consumer of oil in the world. On average, the United States consumes 20.7 million barrels of oil a day (EIA, 2008) but we are the world’s third largest producer of oil (EIA, 2008). The United States produces 5.1 million barrels of oil a day and 3.6 million barrels from various other sources but there is a 13.5 million barrel shortfall (EIA, 2008). This information allows us to conclude that the United States produces 10% of the world’s oil but consumes 24% (EIA, 2008).…

    The United States’ increasing dependence on oil is a growing problem. Oil demand is increasing at an outstanding rate, not only in the U.S. but also around the world. Consider this, in 2008, “the world produced about 85 million barrels of oil a day, but global demand topped 86 million barrels a day” (Pickens). Just 4 years later the oil consumption rate has increased to 90 million barrels a day (IEA). A major portion of this increase can be attributed to high oil consumption rates in China and India, which now are importing more oil. The graph below from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) illustrates how significantly China’s dependence on world oil has increased over the past 15 years. It isn’t just competition for oil with other countries that is contributing to the problem though. Our usage of oil has to be looked at; especially our vehicles which consume an ever increasing amount of oil. According to the EIA, gas mileage of all types of U.S. made vehicles has leveled off since 1985. While foreign car companies have continued to make more fuel efficient vehicles, U.S. automakers have failed to keep up with innovations to make their vehicles increasingly more energy efficient. Based on the fact that each year more people are driving and people are commuting longer distances, oil consumption will continue to go up.…

    A significant factor on petroleum demand has been human population growth. Oil production per capita peaked in the 1970s. The world’s population in 2030 is expected to be double that of 1980. There are speculations or predictions that oil production in 2030 will have declined back to 1980 levels as worldwide demand for oil significantly out-paces production. Oil production per capita has declined from 5.26 barrels per year (0.836 m³/a) in 1980 to 4.44 barrels per year (0.706 m³/a) in 1993, but then increased to 4.79 barrels per year (0.762 m³/a) in 2005. In 2006, the world oil production took a downturn from 84.631 to 84.597 million barrels per day. This has caused the oil production per capita to drop again to 4.73 barrels per year (0.752 m³/a).One factor that has so far helped ameliorate the effect of population growth on demand is the…

    India is the fourth largest oilseed producing country in the world, next only to USA, China and Brazil, harvesting about 25 million tons of oilseeds against the world production of 250 million tons per annum. Since 1995, Indian share in world production of oilseeds has been around 10 percent. Although, India is a major producer of oilseeds, per capita oil consumption in India is only 10.6 kg/annum which is low compared to 12.5 kg/annum in China, 20.8 kg/annum in Japan, 21.3 kg/annum in Brazil and 48.0 kg/annum in USA.…

    We live in a world where technology has outgrown us, and where we have outgrown our world. Beyond our dependence on the earth’s resources for simple necessities we have grown dependent on it for energy. Since we developed our need for energy the quest to find it has been perpetual. Over the last 200 years that need has been mainly supplied by fossil fuels, predominately coal. Recently, interest in the development for more sustainable energy options has surfaced. Options such as hydro power, wind power, nuclear power, and geothermal power have all been developed and put into active production. However we as a society continue to depend upon oil to survive, and the development of the industry will only help us. The investment in offshore oil drilling coupled with new technology and stricter regulations will alleviate environmental woes while the industry itself will continue to help our economy prosper. Many different stakeholders from first nations to environmentalists to politicians criticize the legitimacy of this industry in a changing world. This paper will discuss many issues regarding the practicality of offshore oil while also addressing the environmental and economical affects the industry has.…

    Hydro-power and coal based thermal power have been the main sources of generating electricity in the Indian power sector which has registered significant progress since 1950 when the process of planned development of the economy began. Nuclear power development has been at a slower pace, since its inception in the late sixties. In spite of the overall development in the recent times, the power supply industry has been under constant pressure to bridge the gap between supply and demand.…

    India is the sixth largest consumer of oil in the world and the ninth largest crude oil importer. India’s oil and gas sector contributes over 15% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). According to Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, India has a total reserve of 1201 million metric tonnes of crude oil and1437 billion cubic metres of natural gas as on 01 April 2010. The total number of exploratory and development wells and metreage drilled in onshore and offshore areas during 2009-2010 timeframe was 428 and 1019 thousand metres respectively.Crude oil production during 2009-2010 timeframe was 33.69 million metric tonnes and gross production of Natural Gas in the country was 47.51 billion cubic metres during 20092010. The production of petroleum products during 2009-2010 was 151.898 million metric tonnes (Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas).However, due to huge demand-supply gap in oil and gas in India, it imports more than 60% of its crude oil requirement.Further, oil consumption in India is projected to enhance by 4-5% per annum to 2015, indicating a demand of 4.01 million b/d by 2015. As per the Business Monitor International (BMI) forecast, India will account for 12.4% of Asia Pacific regional oil demand by 2015, while satisfying 11.2% of the supply.Due to increasing refining capacities, exports of petroleum products are high in terms of the foreign currency amassed and accounts for 17% of the total exports. India’s exports of refined products stood at 0.95 million barrels per day as of June 2011 and US$ 4.6 billion worth of petroleum products were exported during July 2011. Vastness of this sector is corroborated by the fact that there were a total of 130,000 people employed in the petroleum industry in 2009-2010.…
