Production Performance of Oil & Natural Gas Sector for August, 2016

Crude Oil

  1. Crude oil production during August, 2016 was 3067.80 TMT which is 1.02% and 3.93% lower than target and production achieved in August 2015 respectively. Cumulative crude oil production during April-August, 2016 was 15146.22 TMT which is 0.75% and 3.15% lower than target and production during corresponding period of last year respectively. Unit-wise and state-wise crude oil production is given at Annexure-I. Unit-wise crude oil production for the month of August, 2016 and cumulatively for the period April-August, 2016 vis-à-vis same period of last year has been shown in Table-1 and month-wise in Figure-1.

3.1         PSU Refineries’ production during August, 2016 was 10985.15 TMT which is 0.84% higher than the target for the month and 6.69% higher than the production achieved in the corresponding month of last year. Cumulative production during April-August, 2016 was 56599.40 TMT which is 1.75% higher than the target for the period and 11.11% higher than the production during corresponding period of last year. Reasons for shortfall of refinery production in some PSU refineries are as under:

  • IOCL, Guwahati & Digboi: Lower crude availability.
  • IOCL, Panipat: Throughput is restricted due to advancement of planned shut-down of Diesel Hydro Treatment unit.
  • IOCL, Paradip: Throughput is lower due to delay in commissioning of South oil jetty and Continuous Catalytic Reforming Unit under shut-down for maintenance.

 

3.2         Production in JV refineries during August, 2016 was 1521.60 TMT which is 22.12% higher than the target for the month but 2.31% lower than the production achieved in the corresponding month of last year. Cumulative production during April-August, 2016 was 7358.10 TMT which is 13.57% higher than the target for the period and 5.08% higher than the production during corresponding period of last year.

3.3       Production in private refineries during August, 2016 was 7783.51 TMT which is 1.22% higher than the target for the month and 0.33% higher than the production achieved in the corresponding month of last year. Cumulative production during April-August, 2016 was 37826.88 TMT which is 3.96% higher than the target for the period and 3.31% higher than the production during corresponding period of last year.

3.4       Refinery-wise details of the capacity utilization and production of petroleum products during the month of August, 2016 and cumulatively for the period April-August, 2016 vis-à-vis April-August, 2015 are given at Annexures-IV and V respectively.
