Rahul Dhir, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Cairn India said:
"With the completion of the critical infrastructure, Cairn India is on the verge of significant production growth. The timely execution of the world class development in Rajasthan has been possible with very strong support from the Government of India, State Government of Rajasthan and our joint venture partner, ONGC.
The Barmer Basin continues to evolve and the company is focused on optimising the resource base with a vision for increased production from the Rajasthan block."
CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REVIEW
Cairn India's primary focus over the last 12 months has been to take the Rajasthan project from the development phase to production. The all important milestone of First Oil from Mangala was achieved in August 2009. Another major milestone will be achieved soon, as sales of crude from Mangala are set to commence through the newly completed pipeline.
With the start of production in 2009 the Company is today on the threshold of transformational multi-year production growth.
The journey from discovery to production has been challenging but rewarding. The remote location of the project, harsh weather conditions and infrastructure constraints presented challenges in the commercialisation of the discoveries in Barmer. Those challenges were transformed into opportunities with the successful commissioning of Train One and Train Two at the Mangala Processing Terminal, and the completion of the world's longest continuously heated and insulated pipeline from Barmer to Salaya, whilst ensuring that the commitment to global Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) standards as well as timely deliver to the buyers was met.
The agreement of crude oil sales with the public sector and private sector refiners will deliver significant production and revenue growth and add secure cashflows for the Company to fund the next phase of the Rajasthan development.
With the completion of the pipeline, production in Rajasthan will be ramped up from 125,000 bopd later this year to the approved plateau production rate of 175,000 bopd by next year. Development drilling at Mangala indicates production potential of 150,000 bopd, subject to Government of India (GoI) approval.
A number of innovative applications of technology have helped us develop the Mangala field effectively;
Ø the use of pad based drilling has allowed a large number of wells to be drilled in a short time with reduced environmental footprint and lower infrastructure and drilling costs,
Ø the drilling of high capacity horizontal wells in Mangala and the application of new fracture simulation and completion technology in Raageshwari wells will aid greater production from fewer wells,
Ø the application of high density 3D seismic surveys has enhanced understanding of the reservoir and helped identify well locations precisely,
Ø the adaptation and successful application of the specialised skin effect heat management system has made the Barmer to Salaya pipeline a reality, thereby creating a unique national asset,
Ø The application of EOR techniques following the pilot programme in the Mangala Field has the potential to unlock further resources.
The Mangala, Bhagyam and Aishwariya (MBA) Proved and Probable recoverable resource base today stands at more than one billion barrels including an EOR potential of more than 300 million barrels. There is a further estimated 1.9 billion boe in place for the twenty other fields with scope for additional growth. Detailed basin re-evaluation through re-analysis of well data, reprocessing of seismic data and an updated knowledge of petroleum systems has resulted in a significant improvement in the understanding and de-risking of the Rajasthan resources.
The vision for Rajasthan is to take production up to 240,000 bopd, with the necessary support and approvals from the Government of India, in line with Cairn India's strategic focus to maximise reserves, production and ultimately value to all stakeholders.
This vision will allow the Company to increase its contribution to India's energy security. At the current approved peak production rate from the MBA fields of 175,000 bopd, Cairn India will contribute more than 20% of India's crude oil production in 2011.
The company completed a USD 1.6 billion borrowing for funding the Rajasthan development. This was done at a time when the global financial markets were in turmoil, which shows the robustness of the Rajasthan project.
The timely execution of the world class development in Rajasthan has been possible with very strong support from the Government of India, State Government of Rajasthan and our joint venture partner, ONGC. The success of this project highlights the potential in the Indian Hydrocarbon sector and the attractiveness of India as an investment destination.
In addition to the development in Rajasthan, the producing assets at Ravva and Cambay have performed better than expected with controls on the operating costs. These assets continue to contribute cashflow to fund our growth.
Cairn India is now well established on the Bombay and National Stock Exchanges as one of the key oil and gas exploration and production companies in India creating value for its stakeholders.

Rajasthan (Block RJ-ON-90/1) (Cairn India 70% (Operator); ONGC 30%)
Cairn India and its joint venture (JV) partner ONGC have an area of 3,111 km2, under long term contract on the Rajasthan licence spread across the districts of Barmer and Jalore.
The Mangala Field, which was discovered in January 2004, is the largest onshore oil discovery in India in more than 20 years. The MBA fields have gross recoverable oil reserves and resources of over 1 billion barrels, which includes proven plus probable (2P) gross reserves and resources of 694 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) with a further 308 mmboe or more of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) resource potential. An EOR pilot project on the Mangala field has started in 2010.
DeGolyer and MacNaughton have conducted an independent estimate of reserves and contingent resources. The result of their work is in line with the CIL estimates.
The twenty other fields (including the Barmer Hill Formation) are estimated to hold approximately 1.9 billion boe in place of which the gross 2P recoverable resource is estimated to be 140 million boe. Evaluation work is underway for these fields. A pilot hydraulic fracturing programme in the Barmer Hill is planned in 2010, subject to GoI approval.
At the peak of the construction activity for both the upstream and midstream projects more than 16,000 people were involved. In keeping with Cairn India's dual commitment to maintain the highest HSE standards as well as building local capacity, top quartile HSE standards have been achieved against global benchmarks and over 60,000 individuals have been trained in HSE principles and skills in the project.
Development - Upstream
The MPT is designed to process crude from the MBA fields and has a capacity to handle 205,000 bopd of crude with scope for further expansion. Four processing trains are being built to ensure that the Joint Venture is able to produce and process the approved peak plateau production of 175,000 bopd in 2011.
While Train One, with a capacity to process 30,000 bopd, was commissioned in August 2009, Train Two with a capacity of 50,000 bopd commenced production in May 2010.
The current Mangala production of 60,000 bopd is being processed through Trains One and Two. Train Three with a capacity of 50,000 bopd is targeted for completion by end June 2010.
Mangala production will continue to build during the ramp up phase. The average gross production during Q4 FY 2009-10 was 17,532 bopd and during the FY 2009-10 was 14,861 bopd. Current production is ~60,000 bopd.
Mangala crude continues to be evacuated via trucking to the Gujarat coast for onward transport to MRPL and RIL, using heated tankers.
Raageshwari Gas Terminal, the Thumbli water field (saline aquifer) and the steam and power generations at MPT have been commissioned and are operational.
Development drilling and the well completion activities are progressing with three drilling rigs and one completion rig operating in the Mangala development area. 65 Mangala development wells have been drilled of which 51 wells have been completed and made ready for initial production. In addition, 3 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) pilot wells, 10 Raageshwari Deep Gas wells and 3 Thumbli water supply wells have also been drilled.24 Mangala wells are currently producing and the other wells will be brought on stream in a staged manner during the ramp-up period.
In addition to the success of the first horizontal well at Mangala, which tested more than 11,500 bopd, Cairn has successfully drilled and completed five more horizontal wells in Mangala. The results from all the wells drilled to date confirm the good reservoir quality and the high deliverability potential of the Fatehgarh Formation reservoir.
A hydro-fraccing campaign in three Raageshwari Deep gas wells was carried out across ten gas zones. After treatment, while the first well tested in Raag-14 proved a gas rate of 15.7 mmscfd, the second well Raag-15 tested to a gas rate of 20.9 mmscfd, the highest ever in the field. This test result indicates the potential for improved frac designs, which could be applied to the low permeability reservoir zones of the Barmer Hill Formation in the near future.
Development - Midstream (Pipeline)
Of the total length of the MPT to Bhogat pipeline of ~670 km which passes through the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat, the MPT to Salaya section of ~590 km has been completed along with the final delivery infrastructure to each buyer.
Pipeline operations have commenced with oil being introduced into the pipeline in anticipation of sales to refiners.
In-principle approvals for the Salaya to Bhogat section have been obtained and the necessary land purchase has been completed. The contracting process is well underway with some key contracts already placed.Bhogat lies on the Gujarat coast and provides further flexibility in respect of future offtake volumes.
Crude - Sales
The initial crude oil sales arrangements to Public Sector Undertakings (MRPL, IOC) have now been supplemented by sales to Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) at Jamnagar and the Essar Group at Vadinar following the decision of the Government of India to allow private refiners to qualify as additional offtakers of the Rajasthan crude.
The crude is currently being trucked to Kandla at the Gujarat coast and then being shipped to MRPL and RIL. Eight parcels to MRPL and eleven parcels to RIL have been delivered to date and been processed successfully.
To date more than four million barrels of crude from Mangala has been delivered to the refiners.
The commercial terms and pricing negotiations have been concluded with all the buyers. In accordance with the Production Sharing Contract, this pricing is based on comparable low sulphur crude frequently traded in the region - Bonny Light - with appropriate adjustments for crude quality.
The implied price realisation represents an average 10-15% discount to Brent on the basis of prices prevailing for the twelve months to May 2010.
Sales arrangements are now in place for 143,000 bopd with four refineries. With the completion of the pipeline and related facilities, sales to both public and private refiners are expected to ramp up to the currently approved plateau of 125,000 bopd in H2 CY 2010. In addition, discussions are underway with PSU refiners as well as refiners in Special Economic Zones and overseas, subject to GoI approval.
Discussions are in progress with the GoI to allocate additional volumes.
Resource base including enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
The current assessment of the EOR resource base is more than 300 mmbbls of incremental recoverable oil from the MBA fields. An EOR pilot project has been initiated this year. Three wells have already been drilled, with production and water injection in the pilot to start this year, followed by polymer and ASP injection. If the trails are successful, our intention is to implement chemical flooding on a field scale in Mangala, followed by Bhagyam and Aishwariya.
Cairn India is also in the final stages of planning to carry out pilot work to evaluate the Barmer Hill formation. As the Barmer Hill reservoir is less permeable than the main Fatehgarh Formation reservoir, the use of fracced horizontal wells are planned to optimise the well count and deliver high online production rates when compared to vertical wells. A declaration of commerciality for the Barmer Hill has been submitted to the GoI and an FDP is under preparation.
Cairn India will also continue to consider low cost development options for smaller fields through the use of cost effective technologies and by leveraging the existing infrastructure.
Exploration - RJ-ON-90/1 (Cairn India is the Operator - 70% holding in the Mangala and Bhagyam Development Areas)
There remains a significant and as yet untested prospective resource potential to pursue in the Barmer Basin of the Rajasthan block. Cairn India drilled two exploration wells in Q4 FY 2009-10.
Both wells found hydrocarbons in the Thumbli reservoir, extending the Shaheed Tukaram Ombale (Raageshwari East-1z) Discovery made in 2008. Tukaram-2 found 6m oil and 6m of gas pay whilst Tukaram SE-1 found 11m of oil pay. In addition, 2.5m of oil was found in a Dharvi Dungar reservoir, and the deeper well Tukaram-2 also found 15m of gas in the Fatehgarh, extending the Raageshwari deep gas resource base.
Technical evaluation work continues to assess existing and new plays in the basin to generate further prospects in Rajasthan.
Cairn India - Producing Assets
Krishna-Godavari Basin - Eastern India
Ravva (Cairn India 22.5% (Operator))
Average gross production from the Ravva field for FY 2009-10 was 40,718 boepd (comprising an average oil production of 32,786 bopd and average gas production of 48 mmscfd).
Originally estimated to produce 101 million barrels of crude oil, the field has to date produced ~225 million barrels; and following a comprehensive assessment of remaining potential the Gross Proved plus Probable (2P) reserves have increased by 25%, from 60 mmboe last year, to 74 mmboe. Cairn is confident of the field's considerable remaining reserve potential and of producing more oil from this block.
The Ravva block's direct operating cost per barrel at approximately USD 2.1 per bbl is amongst the lowest in the world. This has been possible only through life-cycle planning, continuous monitoring and the innovative application of operating technologies.
Cairn and its joint venture partners have completed the 4D seismic campaign to identify bypassed oil zones within the field and the scope of further reserve addition through future infill drilling.
Cambay Basin - Western India
Block CB/OS-2: (Cairn India 40% (Operator))
Average gross production from the CB/OS-2 block for FY 2009-10 was 13,480 boepd (comprising an average oil / condensate production of 9,060 bopd and average gas production of 26 mmscfd).
The application of advanced geophysical tools has helped map thin oil sands which are beyond seismic resolution. These techniques have transformed CB/OS-2 block from a predominantly gas field to an oil field. The operating team set a field production record of more than 10,500 bopd.
Cairn India - Exploration - Other Assets
In addition to the ongoing exploration activities in the three producing blocks, Cairn India currently has exploration interests in six blocks in India and one in Sri Lanka, three of which are operated by the Company. These blocks are located in the Krishna-Godavari Basin, the Palar-Pennar Basin, Kerala Konkan Basin, Cambay Basin, Gujarat Saurashtra Basin, Barmer Basin, Jaisalmer Basin and the Mannar Basin offshore Sri Lanka. The Company made two successful bids in the New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP) VIII licensing round, and was provisionally awarded the KG-OSN-2009/3 and MB-DWN-2009/1 blocks, subject to GoI approval.
The 2009-10 operated exploration programme includes the drilling of 5 other wells outside Rajasthan and seismic acquisition in two blocks, as well as participation in non-operated JV activity.
Block Updates
Jaisalmer Basin - RJ-ONN-2003/1 (Cairn India 30%, non-Operator, ENI is the operator)
The operator completed the first exploration well in mid-2009 which encountered a sequence of low reservoir quality Mesozoic and older rocks of limited hydrocarbon potential. The operator remains in discussion with the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) regarding the remaining work programme commitments.
Southeast India
Krishna Godavari Basin
The Company holds a strong position in the Krishna Godavari basin with both existing production from the Ravva Field and prospective acreage in onshore and offshore blocks. Our commitment to this basin was further consolidated with the provisional award of the sought-after KG-OSN-2009/3 block in the NELP VIII bid round, subject to GoI approval.
Ravva (Cairn India 22.5%, Operator)
A major review of the block-wide additional potential is being undertaken. A review of Contingent Resources was completed in early 2009, resulting in small but significant additions to the resource base, although further drilling will be required to monetise these. A second study to assess the additional undiscovered potential within the field both in untested deeper horizons and in adjacent structures is ongoing and is expected to add new exploration prospects. Further evaluation of the commerciality of these prospects is required prior to drilling but is expected to result in future drilling activity that will help sustain production in future years.
KG-ONN-2003/1 (Cairn India 49%, Operator)
The company has finalised 5 prospects and the drilling of the first of these wells (Nagaram-1) commenced in February 2010 and was plugged and abandoned in March 2010. The second well (Daliparu-1) commenced drilling in the same month. The drilling of the remaining wells is expected to be complete by early Q3 CY 2010.
KG-DWN-98/2 (Cairn India 10%, non-Operator, ONGC is the operator)
The northern area of this PSC is now in an appraisal phase following completion of the Exploration Period. Drilling commenced in the first of three wells in December 2009 and encountered low saturation gas. Two further wells are scheduled to be drilled as part of the future plan for commercial development of this discovered oil and gas resource. The southern area appraisal period was completed in December 2009 and the declaration of commerciality submitted to the DGH.
Palar-Pennar Basin
PR-OSN-2004/1 (Cairn India 35%, Operator)
This block, with aerial extent of 9,400 km2, is located contiguous to discoveries in Krishna-Godavari and Cauvery basins. Following interpretation of 3,100 line km of offshore 2D seismic data, an 811 km2 of 3D seismic data was acquired in Q1 CY2010 in preparation for a drilling campaign planned for Q1 CY 2011.
Other Indian Acreage
In KK-DWN-2004/1 (Cairn India 40%, ONGC is the operator), a 3,840 line km 2D seismic programme was completed in 2009 and following interpretation of the data, 300 km2 of 3D acquisition is being planned.
Well GSA-1 in the offshore southern Saurasthra block GS-OSN-2003/1 (Cairn India 49%, ONGC is the operator) was plugged and abandoned in Q1 CY 2010.
Cairn India also completed its work programme commitments in the Ganga Valley exploration blocks GV-ONN-2002/1 and GV-ONN-2003/1 and Vindhyan basin block VN-ONN-2003/1. Cairn India has since relinquished its interests in these blocks.
Sri Lanka
SL 2007-01-001 (Cairn Lanka 100% - a wholly owned subsidiary of Cairn India)
Cairn Lanka Private Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary of Cairn India, acquired a 1750 km2 3D seismic survey data in the Mannar Basin in Sri Lanka between December 2009 and January 2010, The Mannar basin is an under-explored frontier petroleum province, virtually un-explored in Sri Lanka with both structural and stratigraphic plays. The programme fulfils the commitment of 1,450 km2 of 3D seismic data acquisition.
The 3D seismic data is currently being processed. A detailed Metocean study has recently commenced in preparation for the Exploration drilling of three wells planned to commence in Q2 CY 2011.
