BUSINESS REVIEW
Overview
It is just over three years since Cairn made the transformational discovery of
Mangala in Rajasthan. Following the successful completion of the IPO and listing
in 2007 and its establishment as an autonomous business, Cairn India is well
placed to move that discovery and others in Rajasthan forward in preparation for
first oil production in 2009.
Cairn India's oil and gas fields at Ravva and CB/OS-2 continue to be the
cornerstone of its existing production. During 2006 both of these assets
benefited from revised gas prices and improved oil production. An ongoing
drilling programme at Ravva and new developments planned on CB/OS-2 will ensure
that these assets continue to underpin Cairn's India's activities elsewhere in
India.
The step change in production is expected from 2009, when the first of the
Rajasthan developments is scheduled to come onstream. The Mangala field will be
brought on production first followed by the Bhagyam and Aishwariya fields and
the targeted gross production from these three fields is 150,000 barrels of oil
per day (bopd). Once on stream, these fields will create significant value for
the GoI, the Rajasthan State Government and for investors and other stakeholders
in both Cairn and Cairn India.
Laboratory studies have indicated that the early application of enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) techniques on the Mangala and Bhagyam fields is expected to
extend significantly the production plateau and ultimate reserves for these
fields. Further work is also planned to determine the best method of extracting
the oil from the potentially productive Barmer Hill formation.
Cairn India has recently secured two new exploration blocks in the NELP VI
licensing round and now holds interests in a total of 15 blocks in India. Cairn
India is well placed to build on this asset base and to bid for further
exploration acreage that may be offered in future licensing rounds.
Rajasthan Upstream
The upstream picture in Rajasthan is progressing well. Current estimates for the
proven and probable (2P) hydrocarbons in place for the six fields Mangala,
Bhagyam, Aishwariya, Saraswati, Raageshwari Oil and Raageshwari Deep Gas total
2.2 billion boe and the associated 2P reserves plus contingent resources are 864
million boe.
The additional smaller and/or low permeability fields and reservoirs have an
estimated 2P hydrocarbons in place volume of more than 1.4 billion boe. Over the
coming years, Cairn India's focus will be on converting as much of this
contingent resource base into 2P reserves as is economically feasible.
The first phase of development drilling on Saraswati and Raageshwari has been
completed successfully. Development drilling on Mangala is scheduled to commence
in 2008.
The GoI has approved the Declaration of Commerciality for Bhagyam, the second
largest field in Block RJ-ON-90/1, along with the Shakti field, following which
the FDP for Bhagyam was submitted to the Operating Committee in Q1 2007.
Rajasthan Midstream
A proposal to the GoI seeking approval to include within the FDP a pipeline to
transport Rajasthan crude from Mangala to a coastal terminal facility is
currently under discussion. The proposed routing of the pipeline will allow
access to the existing pipeline infrastructure and refinery network, with a
final coastal delivery point that also affords access to the majority of India's
refining capacity. It is proposed that the pipeline will fall within the
definition of the field development activities and will accordingly be funded
70% by Cairn India and 30% by ONGC. If the pipeline is included in the FDP, the
costs would be recoverable under the PSC. The conceptual engineering and route
identification for the pipeline are at an advanced stage.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
Gross operated production in India for the first quarter of 2007 was 74,830
boepd (working interest 19,811 boepd)
Operational activity has been largely focused on the continued appraisal of
Block RJ-ON-90/1 in Rajasthan. There are now a total of 20 discoveries in this
block including the world class Mangala and Bhagyam oil fields in the northern
part of the acreage. FDPs have been approved or are pending on 6 of these 20
discoveries.
An independent report prepared by DeGolyer and McNaughton (D&M) in August 2006
estimated 3.4 billion boe in place in the combined discoveries in the Rajasthan
block. Cairn currently estimates there to be at least 3.6 billion boe
hydrocarbons in place, of which 2.2 billion are under active development
planning, with the remaining 1.4 billion identified in other fields under
review.
The Mangala, Aishwariya, Saraswati, Raageshwari Oil and Raageshwari Deep Gas
fields all have GoI development approval, while work on approvals for the
development of other discoveries, in particular Bhagyam and Shakti, is ongoing.
The remaining discoveries require further appraisal or evaluation.
RAJASTHAN BASIN - North West India
Development Area (Cairn India 70% (Operator); ONGC 30%)
Civil construction work is now underway to meet the planned first oil production
from Mangala in 2009. FDPs for the Mangala, Aishwariya, Saraswati and
Raageshwari fields have been agreed by the GoI and, in addition to the retained
IPO proceeds, bank funding has been secured for the current development.
All the permits and permissions required to begin major construction work have
been granted and Cairn India is in the process of procuring the major items of
long lead equipment required to establish the production facilities. It is
planned to contract purpose built rigs which will be used to drill the
development wells.
The GoI has approved the Declaration of Commerciality for Bhagyam, the second
largest field in Block RJ-ON-90/1, along with the Shakti field. These fields are
contained within a second development area of 430 km2. The FDP for Bhagyam was
submitted to the Operating Committee in Q1 2007. The current 2P reserves base
case for Bhagyam envisages a plateau production rate of 40,000 bopd
Two more small scale discoveries (Shakti North East and N-1-North) have been
retained within the Bhagyam/Shakti development area, together with the N-I, N-E,
N-P and Bhagyam South discoveries.
The Saraswati Crest-1 well was spudded in April 2007.
Enhanced Oil Recovery
Work is also ongoing to establish optimal EOR techniques in the Rajasthan block
with a view to extending plateau production and increasing ultimate recovery of
oil. Laboratory work is currently underway to establish the potential of these
technologies to facilitate early implementation of a field scale pilot project
at Mangala, the largest of the Rajasthan fields.
Northern Appraisal Area (Cairn India 100%)
In June 2005, Cairn was granted an 18 month extension (until 14 November 2006)
to complete its activities in the northern appraisal area to the north and west
of the Development Area. However, the work programme in this area was
interrupted by the severe flooding in Rajasthan in 2006. Cairn India has ceased
operations in this area and is in discussions with the GoI for a further
extension of part of this acreage to complete its planned work programme.
Southern Fields
In the south of the Rajasthan block, first commercial production by trucking
from the Saraswati field is ready to start and will begin as soon as an
arrangement for oil sales has been finalised with the GoI. First commercial
production from the Raageshwari oil field is expected to commence within 12
months of Saraswati. The first phase of development drilling on Saraswati and
Raageshwari has been completed successfully.
Block RJ-0NN-2003/1 (Cairn India 30%, ENI Operator)
In early January 2007, the Operator commenced acquisition of a 3D seismic survey
on this Rajasthan block, which was awarded in NELP V. The 3D programme is

The CB/OS-2 joint venture is focused on further development of the field with a
planned offshore four well infill development drilling programme and also the
conversion of three wells into oil producing wells following the continuing
success of the Gauri-3 oil producer. The infill development drilling programme
is scheduled to commence in H2 2007.
Engineering studies to upgrade the oil handling facilities at Gauri to 9,000
bopd have been completed and this upgrade is scheduled for completion in Q3
2007.
The onshore CB-X well has been completed and the pipeline installation is in
progress to deliver planned first gas in Q2 2007.
The gas sales contracts (GSCs) with the buyers (GTCL and GPEC) have been
successfully re-negotiated whereby the contractual terms for volume commitment
and price have been reset and the Gauri gas field volume committed to the
current buyers under the new pricing scheme.

An extensive offshore infill development and exploration drilling programme on
Ravva commenced in October 2006 and is ongoing. Production from RD-7 commenced
in December 2006 and from RD-8 in January 2007. The Ravva field has been on
plateau for a number of years and the current drilling programme is aimed at
continuing the strong production performance at Ravva.
The RC-5 well has been completed and commenced production in March 2007. A
subsequent workover well on RC-3 was also successfully carried out in March 2007
aswell as a further successful infill well (RE-4).
The Ravva exploration well RX-10 spudded in April 2007. An exploration well MM
301 is scheduled to be drilled later in Q2 2007.
The ceiling prices under each of the Ravva GSCs have been increased following
re-negotiation with the buyer (GAIL). The ceiling price for associated gas has
increased by 18% and the ceiling price for non-associated gas has increased by
30%.
