Petroleum Ministry might take ‘scrupulous’ action against RIL: Report

22 Nov 2011 Evaluate

Fresh concern seems to be brewing up for Mukesh Ambani led Reliance Industries (RIL) as the Petroleum Ministry in a span of next three-four weeks is expected to take a decision on the action to be taken against  RIL for its gas output from the East Coast fields falling below the target. It is reported that the Petroleum Ministry has made up its mind to take ‘scrupulous’ action against RIL, the operator of D6 gas fields for the drop in output below the target.

The ministry reportedly has decided to disallow expenditure incurred in constructing production and processing facilities at D-1 and D-3 gas fields in the Krishna Godavari Basin block that are currently underutilized and have excess capacity because of drop in output, which is much contrary to the production sharing contract norms. Reliance Industries' (RIL's) centerpiece KG-D6 field’s natural gas production off the East Coast has declined to a one-year low of less than 42 million standard cubic meters per day  (mmscmd ) against 61.5 mmscmd level achieved in March last year and the production plan of over 70 mmscmd for 2011-12.

On whether, the ministry will amend the production sharing contract G C Chaturvedi, Petroleum Secretary, said, ‘if need be we will.’ He further added that, ‘the Law Ministry had not quantified the amount.’ Reports had indicated that $1.85 billion out of the $5.69 billion investment already made in the facilities will be disallowed and arbitration initiated to recover that from RIL.
