During the quarter, we made significant advancements in our exploration and appraisal activities paving the way for future growth opportunities.
Rajasthan (Block RJ-ON-90/1)
- Since the re-commencement of exploration in the Rajasthan block in March 2013, we have established 1.2bn boe of hydrocarbons in-place to date relative to our 3 year drill-out target of 3 bn boe. An additional ~0.6bn boe has been discovered and is either undergoing testing or awaiting testing.
- Through FY15/16, as a result of our current drilling activities, we anticipate establishing an additional 1.2 bn boe hydrocarbons in-place achieving target volumes significantly ahead of plan.
- These new discoveries and prospect volumes will take the total Rajasthan discovered hydrocarbons in-place to over 7 billion boe. An additional un-risked prospect inventory of approximately 3 billion boe has been identified for drill-out commencing FY16.
- Ongoing 3D seismic acquisition programs are now underway in Rajasthan. We anticipate that these programs will identify additional prospects that will continue to replenish the prospect inventory.
- Exploration drilling in the proximity of the RDG field indicates the presence of a larger, multi-TCF gas resource base that comprises the Raageshwari Deep, the Guda Deep and the Guda South structures. We are currently testing an important offset well to the RDG field and have an additional 6 well program of exploration-appraisal drilling and testing over the remainder of the financial year.
- During this period, we plan a dramatic shift to appraisal, in preference to exploration drilling, aimed at accelerating 2C-2P resources-reserves conversion and monetization.
- Very high drilling success rates continue to be the norm in Rajasthan. These results continue to confirm the potential of the Barmer Basin characterized by a low-risk exploration environment unparalleled anywhere else in India.
- To date, as a result of the 2013-16 exploration and appraisal campaign, we have announced six new discoveries, currently either undergoing appraisal or appraisal planning. An additional two discoveries, namely SL-1 and NL-2, are undergoing flow testing.
During Q1 FY15, we have drilled three successful exploration and four successful appraisal wells.
- Exploration well SL-1 has successfully drilled a new Dharvi Dungar prospect and flowed at an initial vertical rate of 120bopd from the Dharvi Dungar formation.
- Exploration well NL-2 successfully drilled a Barmer Hill porcellenite play, flowing at an initial vertical rate of 100-150 bopd. We anticipate that fractured, horizontal wells within both the Barmer Hill and Dharvi Dungar Formations, together with artificial lift, will act to significantly increase well productivities and recoveries.
- These two discoveries, together with Kaam W-8, have successfully flowed hydrocarbons to surface.
- Well DP West-1 successfully appraised a fault block adjacent to the DP-1 well drilled earlier in the campaign. Together with the NL discovery, we anticipate significant volume additions in this complex whose value can be optimized through rapid tie-back to the Mangala facilities.
- Exploration well GSV-2 was a successful drill-out of a Fategarh and fractured volcanics play which we anticipate to appraise in the FY16 drilling campaign.
- Appraisal well Raag Deep SW-1 was the first of an exciting 5-well appraisal program planned for up-side realization of the existing Raag Deep Gas Field. Additional appraisal wells will follow as part of the current drilling campaign.
- Appraisal well Mangala East -2 comprised a successful down-dip evaluation of the existing Barmer Hill field at Mangala and is currently undergoing detailed evaluation.
- Well Guda S-8 was the second of an 8 well program designed to test the flanks of the existing Guda Dharvi Dungar field, significantly boosting existing 2C resources. The well encountered oil pay within the Dharvi Dungar section and is currently awaiting testing. Guda-7, the first well in this campaign, flowed oil from the Dharvi Dungar Formation and established an oil down to deeper than previously encountered in the Guda Field.
The fifth rig dedicated to exploration and appraisal commenced drilling in this quarter. With the addition of higher capacity rigs in our drilling program, we have been able to drill two high impact prospects to test potential gas accumulation in the deeper section. The initial results obtained are encouraging and testing is ongoing.
The 3D seismic data acquisition programme for ~1,900 square kilometres that is currently underway will further help in identifying new exploration leads and augmenting the prospective resource base. As at 30th June, 2014, we have acquired 411 square kilometres of 3D seismic data.
Ravva (Block PKGM-1)
In November 2013, we commenced drilling of the 'High Temperature, High Pressure' (HTHP) deep exploration prospect LO110 in Ravva. The objective of the well was to test the hydrocarbon potential within Late Oligocene sands underlying the existing Ravva field. The well is currently awaiting logging.
KG Onshore (Block KG-ONN-2003/1)
The Declaration of Commerciality for the Nagayalanka discovery is currently under Management Committee review. The evaluation of the results of the Nagayalanka appraisal wells and extended well test is in progress with the objective of optimizing the field development plan. Nagayalanka-NW-1 encountered over 230m of sand in the Jurassic Golapali Formation and an 80m synrift section. Fracking and flow testing of the reservoir sections have been completed and the well has been temporarily suspended pending further analysis.
KG Offshore (Block KG-OSN-2009/3)
934 km[2] of full fold 3D seismic data has been acquired to date. Planning has begun for an additional 3D seismic programme in the remaining area, with acquisition expected to begin by end of Q3 FY 15. Exploration is focused upon building a high quality prospect inventory across multiple play types.
Mumbai Offshore (Block MB-DWN-2009/1)
2128 line km of 2D broadband seismic has been acquired. The processing contract has been awarded and is expected to begin shortly. Planning for acquisition of additional 500 square kilometres of 3D seismic data is underway.
Palar-Pennar (Block PR-OSN-2004/1)
The application for the shift of the restricted boundary has been accepted by government authorities, paving the way for resumption of exploration activity.
Sri Lanka (Block SL 2007-01-001)
In 2013, Cairn concluded appraisal and commercial studies to determine the next steps for the gas discoveries made on the block. We continue discussions with the Sri Lankan Government regarding commercial terms necessary to monetize the discovered gas resources on the block.
South Africa (Block 1)
Initial interpretations of the 3D volumes over South Africa Block 1 indicate that the acreage contains exciting plays similar to those in offset blocks along the West African margin. A deep water oil and a shallow water gas play comprise two promising play fairways that we will work up through ongoing interpretation.
Based on the preliminary assessment of the seismic data, a working petroleum system with multiple oil and gas plays is likely. The on-going seismic processing and technical evaluation is expected to identify drillable prospects during the remainder of 2014.

Operations and Development
The Rajasthan Block produced ~16.7 mm barrels of oil equivalent in the quarter, achieving a cumulative total production of ~233 mmboe until the end of Q1 FY15. 34 new wells were brought on production during the quarter contributing to the Block's gross average production of 183,164 boepd. Sequential quarterly production was impacted by an unplanned outage at MPT in May 2014, resulting in reduced facility uptime of ~96%. The overall operating expense in Rajasthan continued at a low of US$ 4.2/bbl for Q1 FY15.
Lowering of drilling cycle time and significant improvements in rig movement times are examples of our focus on operational excellence. In line with our adoption of high HSE standards, we are planning to shutdown the processing terminal for around 10 days for routine operational and statutory maintenance activity in August, 2014. This could impact the daily gross average production rate for Q2 FY15. However, we would be utilizing this opportunity to tie-in new facility enhancements related to the development projects.
An average of 182,715 bopd, amounting to ~16.6 mmbbls for the Q1 FY14-15 was sold to PSU and private refiners, across India. Gas sales during the quarter were ~8 mmscfd, amounting to total sales of ~0.7 Bscf. The average crude price realisation for the quarter was US$ 97.5/bbl, an implied ~11.1% discount to Dated Brent.
We continue to focus on executing the major development projects in our Rajasthan Block and the related initiatives for the required facilities' enhancement.

Ravva block has been an excellent example of good reservoir management. Since inception in 1994, the Ravva block has produced more than 263 mmbbls of crude and over 332 billion cubic feet of gas, more than 2.5 times the initial resource estimates at the time the PSC was awarded.
During the quarter, the block produced 23,940 boepd supported by volumes from 3 new 4D infill wells, with a plant uptime of 99.7%. Due to the need for temporarily shut in wells as a precaution during rig movement, production of oil and gas is slightly muted in Q1 FY15 on year on year basis.
The campaign, based on the 4D seismic survey, commenced in March-14 using a mat supported jackup rig. The infill drilling campaign and prudent reservoir management are expected to sustain production levels and enhance overall recovery factor.
During the quarter, ~1.7 mmbbls of crude and ~2.4 billion scf of gas were sold, averaging 18,960 bopd of crude oil and ~26 mmscfd of gas, respectively.

Operations and Development
Since inception in 2002, the Cambay block has produced ~20 mmbbls of crude and over 220 billion cubic feet of gas.
During the quarter, the block produced 10,765 boepd, with a plant uptime of 99.7%. Production was higher on account of successful well intervention techniques undertaken in the previous quarter. In the same period, ~1.1 mmbbls of crude oil was evacuated through sea route. With this route, there has been an improvement in realisations as wells as a reduction in distance covered to transport crude oil by road, thus reducing the safety and environment risk involved.
During the quarter, ~0.9 mmbbls of crude and ~1.3 billion scf of gas were sold averaging 9,406 bopd of crude oil and ~14 mmscfd of gas, respectively.
Talent and Technology Development
During the quarter, the technical leadership team has been further strengthened with Director Exploration, Director Subsurface and Head for Integrated Engineering coming on-board to assist in the focused execution of programs. We continue our focus on investing in leaders for tomorrow with a new intake of 72 graduate & management trainees who have joined recently from established institutes like ISM, IIMs & IITs. The young talent helps us address the growing concern of the big crew change and build pipeline for future technical leadership roles.
Our focus is to continue to build on key specialist roles across verticals and to look at employer branding in a big way which will enable us to reach out to the best global talent.
Health, Safety, Environment and Sustainability
We are committed to meet the highest international standards of HSE and are in the top quartile HSE performance versus our peers as per OGP report 2013. All our operating assets maintain an excellent safety culture in an endeavour to record LTI-free work performance.
LTI frequency (Lost Time Incidents per million man hours) for Q1 FY15 stands at 0.60, higher than 0.16 in FY14, driven by 9 incidents. Primary reason for increase in LTIFR is insufficient control by Contractors with respect to Safety of their employees, especially on public roads. With an objective to prevent the recurrence of such incidents, Know Your Hazard, a program to recognize hazards at work place, has been successfully launched. Communication on driving related Zero Tolerance Behaviour is being reinforced across the contractors and workforce. We also undertook several HSE awareness initiatives like Environment Week celebration across all the sites engaging our employees, contract personnel and local communities.
Corporate Social Responsibility
The board approved the Corporate Social Responsibility policy as per the section 135 of the New Companies Act. In Q1 FY15, we continued to increase the reach of our local content and CSR programs. The major highlights include activities around potable water; education and vocational training, sanitation and healthcare; and enhancing farm productivity:
- 19 new ATM based RO plants were installed over the last quarter bringing the total to 34, enabling provision of safe drinking water access to 40,000 villagers.
- 120 youth were trained and linked to employment through various vocational skills training at the Cairn Enterprise Center, Barmer. Two new Satellite Skill Training Centres were established in Guda and Baytu to increase our reach and a new center has been started with the initial batch of 30 in Viramgam.
- We continue to adopt more Government schools, 37 so far, where we are improving infrastructure, providing teachers and improving quality of education.
- Rural sanitation program under Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan has scaled to 3 Gram Panchayats and our 19 health vans continue to reach over 3 lac population across the entire Barmer District and over 130 villages.
- In livelihood enhancement for farmers the multi crop farming model has shown significant success and will be further scaled up to cater to over 500 additional farmers in this season.
Going forward the plan is to scale up our existing programs to reach each and every household in our operational area.
Outlook
With our ongoing net capital investments program of $3Bn through end of FY17, we remain committed to the creation of long term shareholder value.
Based on our recent exploration successes, we are confident that we will establish ~3bn boe hydrocarbons in-place, significantly ahead of schedule. With renewed focus on appraisal and development, we aim to accelerate 2C-2P resources-reserves conversion. This strategy will contribute to the advancement of reserves booking in order to achieve our stated 2P RRR target of 150% over a three year period.
We have identified significant gas potential in the block and plans are underway to advance commercialisation of discovered gas volumes. Considering the significant potential of the Rajasthan
asset, we continue to focus on other major development projects to enhance recovery and achieve a 3 year production CAGR of 7-10% from known discoveries with flat production in FY15.
