Q1 2025 Hindustan Oil Exploration Company Ltd Earnings Call Transcript
Key Points
- Successful testing of Sand 9 in the Dirok field, producing 6 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, which increases the field's potential recoverable reserves and production capacity.
- Dirok gas sales maintained at 0.55 Bcf for the last quarter, with condensate production at 10,578 barrels, indicating stable production levels.
- Plans to drill two additional producers in the Dirok field to ramp up production to 70 million standard cubic feet per day, preparing for potential increased demand.
- Secured environmental clearance for Cambay blocks after four years, with plans to start drilling two wells each in Asjol and North Balol, enhancing production potential.
- Capital program of about INR1,000 crores for the next three years to ensure sustained production with increased reserves and resource base, funded through internal accruals without borrowing for organic growth.
- Inconclusive test results for Sand 10 in the Dirok field, unable to flow hydrocarbon to the surface, indicating potential challenges in further prospecting.
- Revenue reduction in the BAT field due to a significant drop in gas prices from USD17.54 per MMBtu to USD10.34 per MMBtu, impacting overall financial performance.
- Production constraints in the Dirok field due to lack of demand, despite the field's capacity to produce about 50 million standard cubic feet per day.
- Operational challenges in the BAT field during the monsoon season, leading to production disruptions and the need for new hawser installations.
- Standalone revenue for the quarter significantly decreased to INR71.79 crores from INR254 crores in the previous quarter, primarily due to reduced crude sales from the BAT field.
