GAIL, RIL to swap gas for optimum use

17 Nov 2009 Evaluate

GAIL and RIL is set to enter into a swap arrangement to facilitate optimum use of available natural gas in the country. An oil ministry statement yesterday said that since gas from the latter's Andhra offshore field cannot be used for making petrochemicals, the state utility will exchange suitable gas with RIL’s petrochem units that have been allocated nearly 2 mcmd (million cubic metres per day) from India's biggest gas field.

According to the statement, the ministerial panel for distributing has said GAIL will supply adequate quantities to its existing consumers to make up for any ‘‘shrinkage'' in supply of rich gas. Gas swap is not uncommon in industry as using ‘rich' gas, from which petrochem can be extracted and costs more, for firing industrial burners entails loss of value-adition. The panel had on October 27 identified consumers for incremental increase in production from Andhra offhsore field.
