GAIL to buy gas from ONGC Mumbai offshore at market price

19 Jan 2009 Evaluate

GAIL (India) Ltd is all set to source 3.2 million standard cubic metres a day of gas from ONGC’s marginal fields in Mumbai offshore at a market related price. According to the sources, ONGC is going to sell the gas at about $5.25-5.75 a British thermal unit (mBtu) to GAIL. The two companies are likely to ink a commercial agreement later this month.

The market-related price normally depends on demand and currently, the price is around $5.5-6 per mBtu, excluding transmission charges, taxes, marketing margins and charges for services. In fact, the market price is 45-50 per cent higher than the administered price decided by the Government, thus being very beneficial for ONGC.

This gas from ONGC would help GAIL partially meet the deficit in demand. Gas demand in the country is about 150-170 million standard cubic metres, while supply is about 96-110 million standard cubic metres. The gas from the C-series field, located 60 km west of Daman in the Tapti Daman block of Mumbai offshore, will be available to GAIL from 2009, after the completion of the first phase of the project sometime before the monsoon sets in.
