Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Energy Sciences, grade: 8.5, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, course: MBA in oil and gas management, language: English, abstract: This paper examines the Indian energy sector with special focus on the TAPI pipeline. The distance from major fossil fuel-rich countries to Indian borders are not more than 1000 to 2000 km either by sea or land route. The best possible mode for importing natural gas is the trans-national pipelines from Turkmenistan, Myanmar or Iran. Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India Pipeline - the “TAPI Pipeline” is a 1735 km long land pipeline travelling through these countries. This pipeline will have an annual discharge capacity of 33BCM and will play a crucial role for domestic demand and supply. The research objective of this thesis is to analyze different actors in risk, their role in the risks and their possible long term impacts. These risks are categorized as security, price, geopolitics, environment, legal, economical, production and demand-supply. The study develops some scenarios on the basis of changing circumstances, and examines some pertinent issues regarding the pipeline’s technical feasibility.

Historically in India, gas has not enjoyed the same strategic significance as oil. That picture is gradually changing. India imports 82 per cent of its oil needs and aims to bring that down to 67 per cent by 2022 by replacing it with local exploration and alternative energy sources. Natural gas is set to play a key role, with ambitious plans to increase its share in the energy mix from 6.5 per cent to 15 per cent. Increasing natural gas usage can also help India overcome several challenges such as meeting its development objectives, fulfilling mitigation efforts on the climate change front, providing energy security while reducing fiscal imbalance and so on. Needless to say, it will also have a significant bearing on India's geopolitics. Edited by Vikram Singh Mehta, an authority in the energy domain, and with essays by a number of global experts, this anthology lays out a comprehensive roadmap for India's natural gas sector by analysing supply, demand, infrastructure, pricing, regulations, finance, technology, policy and a host of other issues. The Next Stop is an essential overview of the country's emerging energy sector in the twenty-first century

This book analyzes energy security through the lens of oil and natural gas and explains how geopolitics and security challenges affect India’s quest for energy security. It also offers insights into India’s international trade and investment in the overseas oil and natural gas markets and discusses shale energy, adopting region-specific (Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, and LAC), country-specific (Russia and the US), maritime-specific (Arctic and South China Sea), and pipeline-specific (TAPI, MBI, IPI, and RCI) approaches to analyze India’s oil and natural gas trade and investment abroad. The introductory chapter examines energy perspectives in international relations and conceptualizes energy geopolitics and energy security from both international and Indian standpoints. The book also highlights the similarities and differences in the issues involved in the global oil and natural gas market, and India’s approach to these, offering a roadmap for holistic and integrated energy security through oil and natural gas. Since India’s energy trade and investment in the international oil and natural gas market are not free from the effects of political instability, corruption, environment crisis, militancy, terrorism, war, and geopolitical involvement and interference, the book investigates the nature and extent of the security threats and competition India faces in the oil and natural gas-producing countries while pursuing its trade and investments there. As major sources of energy, oil and natural gas are strategic assets, and energy security is one of the core areas of India’s foreign policy pursuits. As such, the chapters critically assess India’s energy policy and resource diplomacy, providing analyses of the issues raised, identifying the central arguments and presenting existing cooperations – with past examples where necessary. The book appeals to scholars and policymakers active in the fields of energy, political science, international relations, economics, foreign policy, peace and conflict, security and geopolitics, as well as non-experts interested in this topic.

Gas pipelines constitute an important, yet unexplored, aspect of strategic geography. As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, India’s need for energy is paramount. Though surrounded by gas-rich regions – Myanmar and Bangladesh to the east, the Gulf to the west and Central Asia to the north – India does not have a single gas pipeline coming in, going out or traversing through its territory to date. This book highlights the global competition over gas pipelines and its implications for India’s energy security in a comprehensive manner. The author leads us through a labyrinthine world comprising numerous actors – the states, energy firms, scientists, engineers, investors and bankers – engaged in competition over these pipelines leading to a continuous game of checkmating rivals, instigating conflicts, causing damage and destruction and threatening military action to persuade or dissuade states from joining specific projects. Pulsating, rigorous, grounded in hard facts and solid research, this book will be indispensable for scholars and researchers of international relations, strategic affairs, defence studies and politics, as well as think tanks, government agencies and the informed general reader.

A study was initiated to understand the entire value chain of Natural Gas in India. Natural gas industry started developing since 1960s in India. Two government organizations Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Oil India Limited (OIL) started exploring blocks in search of more Natural Gas in India. This was called the nomination regime. Later private companies were allowed to enter into exploration through joint ventures (JVs) under pre-NELP regime. From the implementation of NELP in 1999 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) was allowed in exploration business to enhance self sufficiency of India in crude oil and natural gas. Discoveries were made in Gujarat, KG basin, Cauvery basin, Tripura, Assam etc. The discovery at KG-D6 basin by Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) was very huge and had promised substantial reduction on imports by India but the sudden drop in production from the field came as a setback. Since the domestic production was insufficient to meet the growing demands of the country, India had to resort to import of natural gas. Transportation of natural gas is the major barrier in the natural gas business. Pipeline transport was the only mode developed by this industry. Accordingly Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) pipeline, Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) Pipeline and Myanmar-Bangladesh-India (MBI) pipeline were planned by India to import Natural gas to reduce the supply demand gap but unfortunately none of them took off, the first two due to geopolitics between India and Pakistan. This is when transport of natural gas in the form of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) gained momentum in the Natural gas industry and India started building regasification terminals on the western coast of India due to the source of supplies mainly concentrated on the western side. India hence struck a long term deal with Qatar for 20 years to source LNG from them.

The natural gas business consists of two major aspects, sourcing and transportation, and distribution has been a growing area of interest to industry, government and academia. With the emphasis on promoting natural gas sector, there is an increasing need to have a well documented book that deals with the business issues, particularly the transportation and distribution of this sector, specifically aimed at petroleum engineers and professionals. This book fills this gap to provide structured material that deals with managerial and regulatory aspects with an applied technical perspective wherever needed.
