Expected
Global Oil Demand has grown by 3.0 mbpd in 2010
one of highest in the history.
Demand growth moderated in 2011 to 0.7 mbpd,
however, IEA estimates global oil demand to grow
by 0.8 to 1.0 mbpd for 2012 & 13.
Global demand to grow mainly on account of
consumption driven growth in Non OECD
countries led by China, India & Middle East.
Refinery Closure / Shutdown
Expected closure
In last 4 years, 4.5 mbpd equivalent refineries
closed/ shutdown.
Center of gravity has shifted from OECD countries
to non-OECD countries as most of refining capacity
additions are taking place in non OECD countires.
Net refinery capacity additions are sufficient only to
meet the incremental oil demand.
Additional closures in Europe and US will put
upward pressures on refinery margin.
Refinery margins are expected to remain robust in
Asia in next 2-3yrs.

Benchmark Crude Prices continue to show volatility
on account of global economic outlook, geo-politics
in Middle East & Africa regions & European crisis.
Diff. between Dubai & WTI continue to remain wide
& expected to moderate only after reversal of
cushing pipeline.
Light & heavy difference remains range bound,
however, light to heavy & ultra heavy diff. improved,
providing incremental margin to highly complex
refineries
Middle & light dist. continue to remain strong on
account of demand from non OECD counties and
unplanned shutdown and closures of refineries and
low inventories

Gasoline Growth Gasoil Growth (Diesel)
Low per capita oil consumption
Low per capita Oil & Gas consumption in India;
provides a huge potential to grow at faster pace in
order to catch up with developed economies.
Petro products demand in India continues to be
strong led by growth in GDP, rising disposable
income, Govt. focus on development of infrastructure.
Gas demand is growing at 20%+ rate, however, this
is also restricted due to constrain from supply side.
Govt Policy to restrict Gasoil Price has created
abnormal demand growth in Gasoil, which has even
replaced Fuel Oil & CNG also apart from Gasoline.
Low per capita gas consumption

IPR Report

Why refining margins could remain high?
Contraction in refinery capacity due to unplanned shutdown :
Refinery capacity has contracted due to planned/unplanned refinery shutdown.
Market witnessed more than 1.5 mbpd of refinery capacity closure in FY12 & expected likely
closure of another 1mbpd for FY13; resulting net refinery capacity addition to be negative in FY13
and with expected demand growth at 0.8mbpd. This would support refinery margins in the near to
medium term
Global capacity utilisation under pressure : Refinery Utilisation unlikely to rise further due to high
average life of refineries and planned/ unplanned shutdown.
Low Inventory level: Five-year-low inventory level to provide support to diesel cracks in the coming
quarter
Strong diesel demand in India : Continuous strong diesel demand in India and Middle East will
benefit Asian diesel refiners and will result into healthy refinery margin.

Saving on account of Coal based Power Plant
23
Coal Based Boilers and Power Plant provides a low cost source of Power and Steam to meet Refinerys
demand compared to liquid fuel or natural gas.
Post Expansion Projects, Fuel & Loss increased to 8%.
With start of Coal based power plant, fuel cost will reduced to 4.5%.
Refinery will use Coal for Power plant and Natural Gas for refinery internal processes.
This will save around 3%-3.5% of liquid fuel (Fuel Oil & Naphtha), which will be further converted into
other value added products.
This will save minimum US$ 0.8/bbl for the Refinery.

This process has been developed in house
and which resulted in avoiding the
investment for Bitumen Blowing unit.
Essar Oil also has capability to produce up

The company has the flexibility to swing the

Deregulation in
2002
In March 2002, the Indian Government announced a new policy allowing private sector
companies to obtain rights to market automotive fuels and aviation fuels in India, subject
to a minimum investment of at least US$392mn in the domestic oil industry infrastructure
Commercial sales
Commercial sales include sales to domestic industrial customers on a bulk basis, as well
as sales to the National Oil Companies
These sales are made at Trade Parity prices for Auto fuels and Import Parity Prices for
Kerosene and LPG
Retail sales
As of today the Indian Fuel market is attempting to move towards a total decontrol of
pricing having already announced the deregulation of MS
Retail outlets owned or controlled by the Indian Government (c.94% of the retail outlets
in India) are pricing their petroleum products below cost
As a result, private sector oil companies have had to either similarly sell their petroleum
products below cost for a loss, or charge higher, non-competitive prices
The subsidy mechanisms in place by the government, compensates public sector OMCs
for majority of their losses by way of oil bonds and discounts from its upstream E&P
companies (ONGC, Oil India and GAIL)
