3. 3 Natural Gas facts: Natural Gas facts:Natural gas (also called Marsh Gas, Swamp Gas
or Landfill Gas) is a naturallyoccurring gas mixture as a result of the decay of plant/
animal remains,consists primarily of methane, typically with 0–20% higher
hydrocarbons(primarily ethane). It is found associated with other hydrocarbon fuel, in
coalbeds, as METHANE CLATHRATES, and is an important fuel source and a
majorfeedstock for fertilizers.Most of the natural gas that is brought out from under the
ground is millionsand millions of years old. Britain was the first country to
commercialize the useof natural gas. Around 1785, natural gas produced from coal was
used to lighthouses, as well as streetlights. The American natural gas industry got
itsbeginnings in this area in 1859, when Colonel Edwin Drake (a former
railroadconductor who adopted the title Colonel to impress the townspeople) dug thefirst
well to hit oil and natural gas at 69 feet below the surface of the earth.During most of the

2. 19th century, natural gas was used almost exclusively as asource of light as without a
pipeline infrastructure, it was difficult to transportthe gas very far, or into homes to be
used for heating or cooking. In 1885,Robert Bunsen invented what is now known as the
Bunsen burner. Hemanaged to create a device that mixed natural gas with air in the
rightproportions, creating a flame that could be safely used for cooking andheating. One
of the first lengthy pipelines was constructed in 1891 which was120 miles long, and
carried natural gas from wells in central Indiana to the cityof Chicago.Based on the type
of source Natural gas is classified as associated and non-associated gas and there is of no
significance when end use is concerned. 1. Associated gas is natural gas found in crude
oil reservoirs either dissolved or in conjunction with crude oil deposits and it is also
called as Oil well gas 2. Non-associated gas is Natural gas found in reservoirs separate
from crude oil wells and it is also called as Dry gasBased on the sulphur content the
natural gas is classified as sour gas whichcontains higher level of sulphur content in its
composition and sweet gas hasWednesday, 21 December 2011 Email:

7. 7Gas demand break-up:As evident from the trend, City Gas has a huge upside potential
based onGovernment of India’s Hydrocarbon Vision-2025 and the existing fuel mix inour
energy basket. The infrastructure development for transporting the gasfrom well head/
regassification terminals to the end user involves laying of GasHighways which are
capital intensive and hence have long gestation periods.Moreover, with Durban Climate
Change talks moving towards a substantialoutcome, India being the fourth largest GHG
emitter in absolute terms wouldface emission cut targets by 2020. Switching over to
cleaner fuel would helpIndia achieve reduction in Carbon footprints.Subsidy on LPG
(cooking fuel) is another contentious issue concerning thenational exchequer with
subsidy bills denting the fiscal deficit targets.Substituting LPG (Liquefied Petroleum
Gas) by PNG (Piped Natural Gas) wouldWednesday, 21 December 2011 Email:

8. 8reduce the Governments subsidy burden and help market price realization forcooking
fuel. Natural Gas would also reduce dependence on Kerosene andFirewood as source of
cooking fuel which have high carbon emissions. CGD Infrastructure:CGD Value
Chain:CNG stations are of four major types depending upon the structure andoperations:
1. CNG Mother Stations: Mother Stations are connected to the pipeline and have high
compression capacity. These stations supply CNG to both vehicles and daughter stations
through mobile cascades 6 . The Mother Station requires heavy investment towards
compressor, dispensers, cascades, pipelines etc. 2. CNG Online Station: CNG vehicle
storage cylinders need to be fitted at a pressure of 200 bars. Online stations are equipped
with a compressor of relatively small capacity, which compresses low-pressure pipeline
gas to the pressure of 250 bars for dispensing CNG to the vehicle cylinder.Wednesday,

9. 9 3. CNG Daughter Station: The Daughter Stations dispense CNG using mobile
cascades. These mobile cascades at daughter stations are replaced when pressure falls and
pressure depleted mobile cascade is refilled at Mother Station. The investment is least
among all types of CNG stations. 4. CNG Daughter-Booster Station: Installing a booster
compressor can eliminate drawbacks of daughter stations. The mobile cascade can be
connected to the dispensing system through a booster. Daughter booster is designed to
take variable suction pressure and discharge at constant pressure of 200 bars to the
vehicle being filled with CNG. Pipeline pressure Specifications Main transmission grid
line pressure (High Pressure System) = 14‐19 bar, Steel Distribution/Service line pressure
(Medium Pressure System) = 4 to 1.5 bar, MDPE Domestic connection pressure (Low

Riser Isolation Valve. 4. The Meter Control Valve: Fitted in the entrance of the house /
flat, this valve is between the riser pipe and your meter. 5. The Meter Regulator: Installed
before the meter, the meter regulator reduces the gas pressure from 110 mBAR to 21
mBAR 6. The Appliance Valve: This valve switches on/off the gas to burning
appliance.Wednesday, 21 December 2011 Email: [email protected]
11. 11 Natural Gas Transportation Network:Natural Gas is transported in two ways;
Through Pipelines (gaseous mode) Through compressed cylinders (liquid
mode)According to Oil and Gas Journal, India had approximately 38 trillion cubic
feet(TCF) of proven natural gas reserves as of January 2011. EIA estimates thatIndia
produced approximately 1.8 TCF of natural gas in 2010, a 63 percentincrease over 2008
production levels. The bulk of Indias natural gas productioncomes from the western
offshore regions, especially the Mumbai Highcomplex, though recent developments of
fields in the Krishna-Godavari (KG)basin. Currently trunk lines installed are around
11000 KM (300MMSCMD)mainly in northern and western India by GAIL =67%,
RGTIL =14% andGSPL=11%, OIL/Gujarat gas =8%.Major Gas Pipelines in India:1.

17. 17 distribution enterprise geo database with functions to support Marketing,
Engineering and O&M. Market Development:The CGD Market consists of gas
consumers whose gas usage is less than 0.5MMSCMD and hence can be classified as; 1.
Automobile users refilling CNG in vehicles: Natural gas replaces conventional fuels like
Gasoline and Diesel which demand a modified engine design for adapting to the change.
The market development in this segment would depend upon Government’s subsidy
policies on Diesel as well as international crude oil prices which would influence the
buyer sentiments. The cost of conversion (CNG kit installation) also plays a major role in
consumer demand for the fuel as is the availability of Gas in remote destinations. 2.
Domestic PNG User for cooking and heating purposes: Domestic LPG is highly
subsidized by the Government of India and is delivered to the consumer in filled
cylinders. As cylinders can be stored, LPG offers reliability of supply as well as low cost
of ownership. Natural Gas cannot be stored in cylinders and hence is routed to the
customer through a network of Gas pipelines up to the point of usage. Since laying of gas
pipelines involve high fixed costs, the whole cost is unfeasible to be borne by the Gas
company. Hence the consumer needs to share the cost burden which acts as a disincentive
as against LPG ownership costs. 3. Commercial establishments like Hotels, garages,
restaurants etc: Commercial establishments are supplied with LPG at an unsubsidized
rate. These establishments use moderately higher volumes of gas as compared to
domestic users. Frequent changing of cylinders pose logistical challenges to these
establishments in terms of costs and availability of gas. But India is dominated by
unorganized retail wherein supplying PNG to roadside food vendors is not feasible.
Hence policies framed by Government and local bodies (Municipalities) would help in
developing markets for CGD companies in this sector.Wednesday, 21 December 2011

18. 18 4. Small and Medium Enterprises (SME): Small-scale factories offer the most
lucrative business opportunity for CGD companies. These establishments thrive on
Diesel/ Fuel Oil for heating their furnaces and incur huge logistical cost of storage. Some
processes which demand clean fuel opt for commercial LPG which is costly. Use of FO

7. can involve high maintenance cost and poor burner-tip efficiency. CGD companies can
leverage the high calorific value aspect of gas and can promote near- zero emissions for
marketing their product.Though gas can substitute existing fuels, affordability remains a
key issue. Withspot-LNG rates peaking by the day, the cost of ownership for gas
usersbecomes high and hence unfeasible. Support from financial institutions andCGD
companies are required to incentivize businesses to switch over fromtraditional fuels to a
more efficient and clean fuel. Moreover internationalregulations in the form of emission
targets (KYOTO Protocol) can aid the gasbusiness. Customer Service issues:Customers
are most valuable for any businesses, hence identifying andaddressing customer service
issues is of paramount importance. The mainareas of concern for a CGD customer can be
listed as; 1. Quality of Gas: The calorific value of Gas determines the quality of gas. The
lower the calorific value more volume of gas would be required to get the desired amount
of heat energy. The quality of gas in a CGD network depends upon the HHV (High
Heating Value), LHV (Low Heating Value) and the WOBBE Index. The gas quality also
depends upon the share of non-combustibles (Nitrogen, CO2, H2S, and inert gas) in the
gas. The customer needs to be convinced that the gas quality at the burner- tip is optimum
to the price paid. 2. Safety of equipment: Natural Gas being highly combustible can be a
source of potential hazard if not handled adhering to safety precautions. CNG is stored at
high pressures and hence equipments need to be builtWednesday, 21 December 2011
Email: [email protected]
19. 19 conforming to safe design standards. Consumers need to be assured of safe
working of equipments and round-the-clock emergency support. 3. Reliability of supply:
As Natural Gas cannot be stored, the supply reliability has to be 100%. Any disruptions
in supplies can result in direct impact on business operations which could lead to losses.
In case of CNG, refilling time has to be minimized to attract potential customers.
Serpentine queue’s at refilling station is a common sight which dissuades automobile
users to switch over to Gas. 4. Billing issues: Erroneous metering can result in over/
under billing which could be detrimental to customer sentiments. As gas cannot be easily
measures (against LPG/ Oil which can be weighed/ measured) the consumer relies on the
quality of meters supplied by the CGD Company. Regular calibration of meters would
reduce billing errors and installing smart meters would help CGD companies avoid issues
of meter tampering. Major Commercial Issues: As demand for Natural Gas increases,
CGD companies are faced withcommercial challenges such as; 1. Sourcing of cheap gas:
Due to high price differential between APM/ non-APM/ RLNG, CGD companies need to
fix long term purchase contracts to ensure consistent prices of supplies as well as to avoid
frequent tariff revisions which dissuades consumer buying attractiveness. 2. Delivery
contracts: CGD companies need to ensure robust contracts to avoid take-off failures
which lead to under-utilization of its network capacity. Take-or-pay contracts with
accurate nomination are essential to determine the consumer usage pattern which
prevents supply/ delivery shocks.Wednesday, 21 December 2011 Email:
[email protected]
20. 20 3. Capacity booking: Optimum capacity booking to minimize the transportation
charges of gas over long distances can help CGD companies increase margins. 4. Gas
pooling: The proposed concept of gas pooling by the Government of India to reduce price
volatility as it is extremely difficult for price sensitive consuming industries to plan
operations purely based on LNG from future sources. A single benchmarked price of

8. natural gas in India would be in the larger interest of the consumers, and also benefit the
market development of natural gas in this country. QHSE in CGD:Natural Gas
