HOEC is expected to start production from the block during the third quarter of the current financial
year. The Company is seeing a ten-fold rise in the reserves
based on the latest estimates.
At a time when the government is rolling out the red carpet for
investors under the third round of Discovered Small Field (DSF-III) auctions, Chennai-based Hindustan Oil
Exploration Company (HOEC) has claimed that based on the latest estimates, B80 block — that it won
during the first round of DSF — has seen a tenfold rise in oil and gas reserves.
The company is expected to start production from the block during the third quarter of the current
financial year.
With B80 in place, total production by the company is expected to increase from 2,300 barrels of oil
equivalent per day (BOEPD) to 7,000 BOEPD.
The story of HOEC begins in 1983, when the great visionary, the Late Shri H.T. Parekh foresaw the need for a private stake in India's Oil & Gas sector. After over 3 decades, HOEC has now emerged as a fast growing independent E&P operator in India. HOEC now, through its operations, supplies 10,000 boe of products to the nation daily, across 4 of the 7 production basins in India. HOEC Ltd achieved it's success by adopting a low-cost rapid development model with a focus on local content, innovation and sustainable practices. HOEC aims to create long-term stakeholder value and ensures "grow responsibly".
Multiple keys to turn a Multibagger Stock
It is at a time when the majority of players, who won blocks under the DSF, are struggling to start
production.
A total of 54 contract areas were awarded in the first two rounds of DSF, out of which the DGH has
received field development plans for 29 areas.
“We are seeing a multifold rise in the reserves
based on the latest estimates. The pre-bid expected
volume was around 1.8 million metric tonnne (MT)
of oil and 0.25 million metric tonne of oil equivalent
(MMTOE) gas. This has increased to 18.6 MT and 3.1
MMTOE now,” said P Elango, managing director
(MD) of the company.
According to the company,
with the rise in estimates, the value of reserves also
increased from $35 million pre-bid to $365 million
now (at a price of $65 a barrel).
The company is investing $40 million in the block
for two wells, in addition to four wells already
drilled by the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation
(ONGC).
“The reason for such increase is on account
of post-development drilling, whereby HOEC revised
the B80 three- dimensional geological model by
applying all the data from the field, which include all
the six wells,” he added.
B80 block in the Arabian
Sea, off the Mumbai coast, had its first discovery by
ONGC in 1987.
HOEC won the block in September 2017, when the
government came out with small field auctions to
attract new investors to the sector. These were small oil and gas discoveries made by public sector
undertaking oil companies, ONGC and Oil India (OIL). But these state-run companies could not develop it
due to various reasons, including unviability, small size and restrictive fiscal regimes.
Though HOEC and Adbhoot Estates had equal stake in B80 initially, the Chennai-based company
increased its stake to 60 per cent last year. The company had raised a Rs. 150-crore loan during that time
for the acquisition and other project development works.
The third round for which the government is scouting for investors includes 32 contract areas.
These
comprise 75 discoveries, spread over 9 sedimentary basins covering an area of about 13,685 square
kilometres.
These blocks are expected to have a potential of approximately 232 million tonne. The government is set
to conduct roadshows at overseas destinations like Perth, Singapore, Houston and London as well as
domestic locations like New Delhi, Mumbai and Gandhi Nagar, said sources.
