Beat led by lower opex/D,D&A; KG-98/2 development on fast-track
ONGC’s 1QFY17 EBITDA was above estimates at INR92.7b (est INR82b; -23%
YoY, +55% QoQ) led by lower opex at INR35b (-22% YoY, -27% QoQ) as service
costs have reduced. PAT was further boosted to INR42b (est INR32b; -22% YoY,
-4% QoQ) led by lower D,D&A of INR37b (est INR45b; -19% YoY, -10% QoQ),
partly negated by interest cost at INR2.9b (v/s almost nil earlier).
1QFY17 net realization at USD46.1/bbl:
(est of USD47/bbl ; -28% YoY, +32%
QoQ). It was exempted from subsidy sharing and we model the same for FY17.
Production, sales inline:
1QFY17 oil sales stood at 5.87mmt (inline;-2% YoY and
-2%QoQ) and gas sales at 4.15bcm (-4% YoY, flat QoQ).

ONGC management indicated that
through its concentrated efforts has reduced the crude production and sales
gap from ~6% to ~4%.
Management guided the production target (incl. JV) for FY17 at 25.7mmt
(-0.8% YoY) for oil and 23.8bcm (+6% YoY) for gas led by Daman and Vasai East
fields. OVL production stood at 2.48mmtoe (+12% YoY) with oil at 1.6mmt and
gas at 0.87bcm – boosted by recent stake purchase in Vankor, Russia.
MoPNG has directed to pay royalty on pre-discount from February 1, 2014.

FY14 (INR156b for Gujarat) isrecognized as a contingent liability by ONGC.
