Ahmedabad: The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation of India Ltd (ONGC)
will have to pay about Rs 200 crore every month – Rs 2,400 crore per
annum – starting this month to Gujarat government towards crude
royalty, as the Supreme Court has asked the oil company to pay royalty
as per pre-discounted rates. While staying a Gujarat high court’s
order of asking ONGC to pay over Rs 9,000 crore to Gujarat towards
crude royalty since 2008, the apex court has not stayed the HC’s order
to ONGC to pay royalty on crude at the pre-discounted rate.

As per the Schedule of the Oilfields (Regulation and Development)
Act, 1948, ONGC is bound to pay to state government 20% royalty of the
market value of crude oil it extracts from oil blocks – there are 66
blocks located in Gujarat. ONGC used to pay such royalty to the
Gujarat government but the situation changed from 2004, when the
Centre asked ONGC to provide crude to IOC and other lossmaking PSUs at

it moved the Gujarat high court in 2011. Special counsel Aspi Kapadia
contended that ONGC sometimes supplied crude to other PSUs at a
discount that went up to 96%.

2. But most shockingly EPC contract for sub-sea work connected over 18
production wells is just $400m. As I have already reported earlier
P-52 cost just $753m. There is no justification for $9b

Bechtel management contract and Aker Kvaerner Subsea was awarded

The project is expected eventually to cost more than $10bn. Production
of crude oil started in September 2008 from the block’s MA field,
while production of gas from the Dhirubhai-1 and Dhirubhai-3 fields is
scheduled to start by late 2008/early 2009. Initial rate of production
from the MA field is about 5,000bpd and is expected to reach its peak
rate of 40,000bpd by about mid-2010, while D1 and D3 are forecast to
reach 2.8bcfd within the first year of operation, although there is
flexibility to raise this to 4.2bcfd.

six six-slot production manifolds weighing 225t each. The longest
tieback is 6.4km. From these manifolds, production flows through
in-field pipelines to the 370t Pipeline End Manifold (PLEM). The

will ease the anticipated reservoir pressures drop two to three years
after start-up. Gas export will use three 24in lines running 25km from
the CRP platform to shore where gas will be routed to the offshore
terminal at Kakinada. The MEG used to prevent hydrates will be
reprocessed in a closed loop in a system provided by Aker Kvaerner.

Perera shows steely resolve to lift second straight title

Perera shows steely resolve to lift second straight title
Lahiri falls short despite spirited challenge
Eagleton – The Golf Resort, Bangalore, February 15, 2014: Mithun Perera of Sri Lanka came up with a resolute one-under-71 in the final round of the PGTI Eagleburg Open to bag his second title in two weeks. Perera signed off with a tournament total of 22-under-266 to register a three-shot win despite defending champion Anirban Lahiri’s spirited challenge on the final day at Eagleton – The Golf Resort near Bangalore. Local favourite Lahiri secured runner-up position after a four-under-68 in round four that saw him end up with a total of 19-under-269.
Mithun Perera (65-66-64-71) and Anirban Lahiri (68-65-68-68) were involved in a very keen contest on Saturday with a few twists and turns. Anirban made all the moves on the first 11 holes with five birdies against a lone bogey to overcome a huge six-shot deficit and draw level with Mithun who had only two bogeys to show on that stretch. Lahiri landed it within five feet on the second and sixth and converted 10 to 12 feet putts on the fifth and 11th. Mithun on the other hand struggled with bogeys on the ninth and 11th where he had a poor approach shot and a bad bounce respectively.
It was then a see-saw battle over the next three holes as Lahiri made bogey-birdie-bogey. The match swung decisively in Perera’s favour when he made an eagle on the 15th that gave him a three-shot advantage with three holes to play. Mithun played his shot of the tournament when he holed his third from 110 yards for eagle on the 15th.
Lahiri did manage a birdie on the 17th but it was too little too late as Perera sealed it with a magnificent approach for birdie on the final hole. Mithun thus bagged his fifth professional title and ended Anirban’s golden run of four wins from four starts on the PGTI on the latter’s home course. Perera has now shot a total score of 22-under in two successive events.
Perera, who has now climbed from third to second on the Rolex Rankings, said, “I was struggling for momentum till the 15th. The eagle came just at the right time for me. My putting wasn’t good today. Fortunately for me, Anirban gave me chance when he bogeyed the 14th that put me back in the sole lead. This is my second title on the trot and I’m very pleased about that. Competing on the PGTI in the last few years has really helped my game as I have grown in confidence playing in different conditions in India and against some of India’s top players. I hope I can carry this form on to the Asian Tour as well.”
Anirban Lahiri continues to be the Rolex Rankings leader having achieved a win and a runner-up finish from his two starts on the PGTI this season. His earnings for the season stand at Rs. 11,43,200. Perera is in second place at Rs. 9,69,900.
Lahiri said, “My judgment of the speed on the greens was poor today and that resulted in two three-putts for bogeys on the first and the 14th. I was also not at my best on the par-5s in the last two rounds. I was unable to capitalize on the par-5s despite my length. Mithun’s eagle on the 15th was the game-changer. Nonetheless, it’s been a good week of golf for me and I’ll take a lot of positives from here.”
Sri Lankan K Prabagran finished third at 14-under-274 while Mukesh Kumar of Mhow was fourth at 13-under-275.
C Muniyappa of Bangalore shot the day’s best score of 65 to claim tied fifth position along with Sri Lankans N Thangaraja and Anura Rohana at 12-under-276.

Poo to Loo song launched today:UNICEF
15022014
Take Poo to the Loo – the New Youth Mantra against open defecation has people marching to the tune of India’s First Poo Song
14 February 2014, New Delhi – UNICEF’s campaign Take Poo to the Loo has brought out the fight against open defecation – onto the streets and online; to industry, government bodies, academia and citizen groups, by roping in the strongest voices in the nation – the Youth. And this youth army now has a rousing mantra – India’s First Poo Song titled “Poo Party”.
Composed by famous Indo-Jazz music composer, songwriter and producer Shrikanth Sriram (a Dewarist’s artist who holds stunning compositions like the theme for the movie Life of Pi to his credit ), the song captures the brazenness and audacity of the Poo Man that irks and annoys his listeners. One feels a strong urge to put him in his rightful place by flushing him down the toilet.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the music, Shri says “Ah Shit! The smell that brings me home very quickly with a thud! I would rather have the smell of Pav Baji bring me home. Anyone trying to do anything about public defecation needs to be supported fully. And the best I can do is to write some music to help.”
Composed to shake-up and make one take action, the funky and animated song uses ‘toilet sounds’ to show that if left to grow at its current pace, the disgusting reality of open defecation might multiply to a level where it starts invading your personal space. It might become a truth you wake up to every morning – bombarding your life during the day, and becoming a constant nightmare.
“With this first poo song in the history of India, we have pushed the boundaries. Never before has open defecation been so visible through new media. This song demonstrates that you can talk about a very serious issue and challenge a deep rooted social norm in an accessible, fun way, and using everyday words common to young people,” states Caroline den Dulk, Chief Advocacy and Communication, UNICEF India.
Bands like Indian Ocean and Raghu Dixit have come out in support of the campaign. In addition, academic institutions like IIT Delhi are working with colleges across Delhi – through rallies, seminars, poster-making, mobile app development and film and animation competitions– to get more youth involved in bringing about change. IIT Delhi is also supporting the campaign and has organized a dance and music event today at 5:30pm in PVR Priya in Vasant Vihar to unveil the anthem.
“Students of various clubs from IIT Delhi have been involved in taking the poo2loo messages to the young student population of Delhi. They have been very active in organizing awareness raising activities about open defecation and the need for a concerted campaign to enable people squat with dignity. In order to contribute to the anthem dissemination, the dance club surprised passers-by with a flash mob followed by an interaction with the protagonist of the campaign, Mr Poo, who did not want to miss the Poo party song,” IIT Delhi Professor Vijayaraghavan M Chariar explains.
Also PVR Nest, the CSR arm of PVR Cinemas is supporting the campaign. “We will be raising awareness amongst cinema-goers and ticket -purchasers over the week-end of 14th. The animated Poo to Loo song will be later used to raise awareness among street children groups with whom PVR Nest works closely,” says Deepa Menon, Vice President CSR & Corporate Communication, PVR Ltd.
Crafted in the language of the youth – quirky, fun and informative, every element of the campaign directs young people to a microsite that engages and educates around the issue of Open Defecation. Through social media activities (Facebook posts, posters, videos, Twitter activities, an online game and a mobile application), and letting the character of Poo Man wreak havoc on the streets of New Delhi, Pune, Mumbai and Hyderabad, greater youth-engagement is targeted. With over 1, 09, 000 pledges already signed, an army of youth advocates is shaping up to support the cause and spread the message of fighting open defecation.
The final target is to get the signed pledge to the President of India and demand for an open defecation-free India.
India has made important progress in the provision and use of toilets in the last 20 years, reducing the practise of open defecation from 75% of the population in 1990 to 51% in 2010. However it is still home to the world’s largest population of people who defecate in the open. 620 million people, half the population don’t use toilets, and the other half have become blind to the practice.
