Reliance estimates USD 200-400 million liability in KG-D6 cost recovery dispute
Sunday, 24 May 2020, 05:27:10
NEW DELHI: Reliance Industries has estimated a maximum liability of USD 400 million (Rs 3,000 crore) in its nine-year old dispute with the government over alleged under-utilisation of capacity at the KG-D6 field due to failure to comply with an approved investment plan.Natural gas output from Dhirubhai-1 and 3 gas fields in the KG-D6 block in the Bay of Bengal started to lag company projections from the second year of production itself in 2010 and the field ceased to produce in February this year much ahead of its projected life.The government blamed the phenomenon to the company not sticking to the approved development plan and disallowed over USD 3 billion costs. The company disputed this and dragged the government to arbitration.In its mega rights issue offer document, Reliance said the central government sent notices to the firm and its partners in the KG-D6 block “disallowing cost recovery for alleged under-utilisation of capacity due to failure to comply with the approved development plan and demanded an additional share of profit petroleum.””The company contended that there are no provisions in the KG-D6 contract which entitle the Central Government to disallow cost recovery on this basis,” it said.The Production Sharing Contract or PSC allows contractors to recovery all their capital and operating cost from the sale of oil and gas discovered and produced from a block before sharing profits with the government.

Friday, 22 May 2020, 18:52:03
Microsoft introduced a cloud initiative tailored specifically for the healthcare industry during the company’s Build developer conference this week, following similar initiatives from Google, IBM, and Amazon.

The company also recently hired executives with expertise in the financial services and energy industry, which suggests that specific clouds for those industries could be coming next. The push towards industry-specific offerings also is indicative of what one Microsoft executive said is one of the biggest changes Nadella has made: changing the company from a “horizontal” one that produces products for general purposes to one with a focus on verticals, like the healthcare industry.
