ii) Technical analysis .

Both analysis are used for different purposes/uses.

i) Fundamental Analysis :- Fundamental analysis is used for evaluating the intrinsic


value of the stock, bond or commodity. It involves examining various fundamental
factors that can influence asset’s price, including financial statements, economic
indicators, industry trends, competitive landscape, management quality, etc.

Whereas

ii) Technical analysis:- Technical analysis focuses on analysing price of the stock ,
volume data, graphs which can predict future price , movements. To identify
various patterns there are various indicators such as moving averages, support and
resistance levels, trendlines, etc.

In conclusion, fundamental and technical analysis are two different approaches used to
evaluate financial market. By understanding the principals and tools of each analysis method
that make investment decisions.

Proceeding towards topic would give a brief about oil and natural gas sector.

Oil and Natural Gas plays an important role in global economy as these energy sources are
essential for various industries, transportation and everyday life. The demand for oil and

natural gas remains high due to their versatility, energy density , and wide range of
applications.

1.1:- Company and Sector Information

1.1.1 :- Company profile

GAIL (GAS Authority of India LTD)

GAIL (India) Limited formerly known as Gas Authority of India Ltd. is a central public sector
undertaking under the ownership of the Ministry of petroleum and Natural Gas, Government
of India. It has the following business segments: natural gas, liquid hydrocarbon, liquefied
petroleum gas transmission, petrochemicals, city gas distribution, renewable Energy
including Solar & Wind, exploration and production, Petrochemicals, GAILTEL
and electricity generation. GAIL was given the Maha Ratna status on 1 Feb 2013 by the
Government of India. Only 10 other PSUs enjoy this coveted status amongst all Central
PSUs.

GAIL owns and operates a network of around 13,722 km of natural gas pipeline and currently
executing around 6,000 km of pipeline projects of its own and about 2,000 km through two
JVs, as part of the National Gas Grid. PNGRB has authorized the PSU to create a 1,755 km
long Mumbai-Nagpur-Jharsuguda Pipeline.

GAIL (India) Limited was incorporated in August 1984 as a Central Public Sector
Undertaking (PSU) under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas . The company was
formerly known as Gas Authority of India Limited. It is India's principal gas transmission and
marketing company. The company was initially given the responsibility of construction,
operation and maintenance of the Hazira – Vijaypur – Jagdishpur (HVJ) pipeline project. It
was one of the largest cross-country natural gas pipeline projects in the world. This 1750-
kilometre-long pipeline was built at a cost of ₹17 billion (US$210 million) and it laid the
foundation for the development of the market for natural gas in India. GAIL commissioned
the 1,750 kilometres (1,090 mi) Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur (HVJ) pipeline in 1991. Between
1991 and 1993, three liquified natural gas (LPG) plants were constructed and some regional
pipelines were acquired, enabling GAIL to begin its gas transportation in various parts of
India.

Copyright.2023@AIMSR Page 8 of 63
GAIL began its city gas distribution in New Delhi in 1997 by setting up nine compressed
natural gas (CNG) stations.

GAIL today has reached new milestones with its strategic diversification into petrochemicals,
telecom and liquid hydrocarbons besides gas infrastructure. The company has also extended
its presence in power, liquefied natural gas re-gasification, city gas distribution and
exploration & production through participation in equity and joint ventures. Incorporating the
new-found energy into its corporate identity, the Gas Authority of India was renamed GAIL
(India) Limited on 22 November 2002.

However, historically, GAIL has been a major player in the natural gas sector in India and has
shown consistent growth over the years.

1.1.2 Detail about Oil and Natural gas

The petroleum industry in India dates back to 1889 when the first oil deposits in the country
were discovered near the town of Digboi in the state of Assam. The natural gas industry in
India began in the 1960s with the discovery of gas fields in Assam and Maharashtra (Mumbai
High Field). As on 31 March 2018, India had estimated crude oil reserves of 594.49 million
metric tonnes (Mt) and natural gas reserves of 1339.57 billion cubic metres of natural gas.

The oil and gas sector is among the eight core industries in India and plays a major role in
influencing the decision-making for all the other important sections of the economy.

India’s economic growth is closely related to its energy demand, therefore, the need for oil
and gas is projected to increase, thereby making the sector quite conducive for investment.
India retained its spot as the third-largest consumer of oil in the world as of 2022.

The Government has adopted several policies to fulfil the increasing demand. It has allowed
100% foreign direct investment (FDI) in many segments of the sector, including natural gas,
petroleum products and refineries, among others. The FDI limit for public sector refining
projects has been raised to 49% without any disinvestment or dilution of domestic equity in
existing PSUs. Today, it attracts both domestic and foreign investment, as attested by the
presence of companies such as Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) and Cairn India. The industry is
expected to attract US$ 25 billion investment in exploration and production by 2022. India is
already a refining hub with 23 refineries, and expansion is planned for tapping foreign
investment in export-oriented infrastructure, including product pipelines and export terminals.

India’s crude oil production in FY22 stood at 29.7 MMT.

provides financial assistance to bio-gas plants.

Copyright.2023@AIMSR Page 21 of 63
Value chain :-

Natural gas production is gathered from land-based (onshore) wells via low-pressure, small-
diameter pipelines from numerous wells. Gas wells located in water, called offshore, present
unique challenges not only in drilling the wells, but also in putting them into production. The
gathering systems for offshore wells are often placed on the seabed and consist of highly
engineered equipment that must be operated by remote control.

Once gathered, the gas is then moved to a central processing plant, a treatment plant, or both.
Wet gas is processed to strip out NGLs, which can be sold separately as fuel and
petrochemical feedstock, much like petroleum products. All gas – wet or dry – is treated to
remove any solids, water vapor and/or contaminants. Dry gas then moves to a pipeline for
transportation.

In accordance with the contract terms, the natural gas is transported from the production area
to the customer on high-pressure, large-diameter pipelines. Along the way, the gas most
likely will be co-mingled with other gas producing supplies and may also be injected and
withdrawn from a storage field as needed.

This module will consider long-line pipelines as the key components of gas transmission.

At the end of the pipeline, gas typically is sold to a local distribution company (LDC) or
Local Distribution Zone (LDZ) in Europe. The LDC/LDZ develops and controls an extensive
network of low-pressure, small-diameter pipes, buried under the city.

Major players in this sector:-

Players are differentiated according to upstream and downstream companies.

Copyright.2023@AIMSR Page 22 of 63
What are upstream companies?

Upstream oil companies are involved in the identification/discovery and extraction of crude
oil from under the earth’s surface. They are part of the earliest stages in the processing of oil,
and the farthest from what end-consumers get. Upstream oil companies conduct research,
explore, set up oil wells, do the drilling to get access to crude oil deposits and actively engage
in the extraction of crude. They are also often referred to as exploration & production (E&P)
companies.

Note that upstream oil companies may engage in on-shore or off-shore operations. Off-shore
is when the oil production happens ‘off the coast’.

Examples of such companies are :-

i) Oil and natural gas corporation (ongc)


ii) Oil India Ltd
iii) Larsen and Toubro Ltd
iv) BP PLC
v) Reliance Industries Ltd

What are downstream companies?

Downstream oil companies are those that deal with the processing and delivery after the
procurement of crude. It includes refining the oil and converting it into the final products that
are sold to consumers. This could be the gas supplied to us through gas cylinders or pipelines
too. Furthermore, petrochemicals, lubricants, and other such materials are also a part of the
diverse catalogue of products of.

They source the raw material from upstream companies that operate in the beginning stages of
the oil supply chain. They then process it and provide consumable products to the customers.
Thus, the downstream oil companies are closer to the point of sale and work closely with the
final customer.

Copyright.2023@AIMSR Page 23 of 63
They may operate as oil and gas distributors, processing units, retailers, and more. Such oil
companies focus on marketing the products as well.

Examples of such companies are:-

i) India oil corporation Ltd


ii) Bharat petroleum corporation Ltd
iii) Hindustan petroleum corporation Ltd
iv) Nayara energy Ltd

Copyright.2023@AIMSR Page 24 of 63
1.1.3 Working of Oil and Natural gas sector

Oil demand in India is projected to grow up to 11 million barrels by 2045. The Government
has also allowed 100% FDI in upstream and private sector refining projects. This opens up a
lot of prospects for the oil companies operating in the country.

To understand the functioning of upstream and downstream companies better, imagine the
entire supply chain. The two types of companies operate from either end of it. As the name
suggests, the services of the upstream oil companies move up the chain. The raw material,
which is crude oil, is extracted from the surface of the earth by such companies. Their job is
limited to drilling this natural resource and giving it over for processing.

The downstream companies handle the processing of the raw oil provided by the upstream
companies. Such companies may be on different levels in the supply chain, such as
production, marketing, and distribution.

Considering the increasing demand for oil and its products in the country, the Government
regularly brings out policies in support of companies engaged in this sector. There are freight
subsidy schemes and expansion projects that have increased the scope for India’s upstream
and downstream oil companies.

2.1 Review on literature

Literature review: Ten years of research on oil and gas industry's methane and

health-damaging air pollutant emissions – by Drew R. Michanowicz, on 6th


October,2021

Oil and gas emissions vary widely throughout the supply chain, making mitigation of both
super-emitters and emissions sources near populations top priorities for public health and
climate, according to findings from a literature review by the nonprofit energy science and
policy institute Physicians, Scientists, and Engineers (PSE) for Healthy Energy. "Methane and
Health-Damaging Air Pollutants From the Oil and Gas Sector: Bridging 10 Years of
Scientific Understanding" is the first systematic review to bridge the gap between research on
sources of methane and sources of health-damaging air pollutant emissions throughout the oil
and gas supply chain.

There is unequivocal evidence that we must rapidly and aggressively reduce methane
emissions to avoid catastrophic changes to our climate," said the review's lead author, PSE
Healthy Energy Senior Scientist Drew Michanowicz, DrPH, MPH, CPH. "Because methane is
nearly always emitted alongside other health-damaging air pollutants, we should be urgently
focusing on eliminating methane pollution near where people live as a critical and cost-
effective strategy to protect public health."

3.6 TOOLS FOR ANALYSIS OF WORK

i) Bollinger Bands:-

Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool developed by John Bollinger in the 1980s for
trading stocks. The bands comprise a volatility indicator that measures the relative high or low
of a security’s price in relation to previous trades. Volatility is measured using standard
deviation, which changes with increases or decreases in volatility. The bands widen when
there is a price increase, and narrow when there is a price decrease. Due to their dynamic
nature, Bollinger Bands can be applied to the trading of various securities.

Bollinger Bands are comprised of three lines – the upper, middle, and lower band. The middle
band is a moving average, and its parameters are chosen by the trader. The upper and lower
bands are positioned on either side of the moving average band. The trader decides the
number of standard deviations they need the volatility indicator set at. The number of standard
deviations, in turn, determines the distance between the middle band and the upper and lower
bands. The position of these bands provides information on how strong the trend is and the
potential high and low price levels that may be expected in the immediate future.

Copyright.2023@AIMSR Page 43 of 63
ii) The Relative Strength Index (RSI)

Relative Strength Index is a momentum indicator that measures the magnitude of current price
changes to determine whether the stock is overvalued or undervalued. This indicator was
originally developed by J. Welles Wilder.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a popular technical analysis tool used to measure the
momentum and speed of price movements in financial markets. It provides insights into
whether a particular asset is overbought or oversold, thus indicating potential trend reversals.

Calculation:

The RSI is calculated using a formula that compares the average gains and losses over a
specified period. The most common period used is 14 days, but it can be adjusted based on
the trader's preference.

RSI can be broken into two basic components:

▪ RSI Average Gain

▪ RSI Average Loss

The RSI calculation is based on 14 periods which is the default as suggested by Wilder. The
calculation is divided into two steps:

Step 1:

▪ First Average Gain = Sum of Gains over the past 14 periods / 14.

▪ First Average Loss = Sum of Losses over the past 14 periods / 14

Step 2:

▪ Average Gain = [(previous Average Gain) x 13 + current Gain] / 14.

▪ Average Loss = [(previous Average Loss) x 13 + current Loss] / 14.

Range and Interpretation: The RSI ranges from 0 to 100. Traditionally, an RSI value above 70
is considered overbought, indicating a potential price correction or reversal to the downside.

Copyright.2023@AIMSR Page 44 of 63
Conversely, an RSI value below 30 is considered oversold, suggesting a potential price
correction or reversal to the upside.

Timeframe: The RSI is most commonly used on daily price charts, but it can also be applied
to shorter or longer timeframes, such as hourly, weekly, or monthly charts. Different
timeframes may provide different signals and perspectives on market conditions.

Interpretation:

RSI is considered overbought when above 70 and oversold when below 30.

 Go long when the indicator moves from below to above the oversold line.
 Go short when the indicator moves from above to below the overbought line.

Note here that the direction of crossing is important; the indicator needs to first go past the

overbought/oversold lines and then cross back through them.

Copyright.2023@AIMSR Page 45 of 63
iii) Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) Indicator :-

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a popular technical indicator used
to identify potential trend reversals, generate buy or sell signals, and measure the strength of
price momentum. It consists of two lines and a histogram and is widely used by traders and
investors in financial markets.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is a trend-following indicator and


momentum indicator which shows the relationship between two moving averages of a
security’s price.

The MACD is calculated using exponential moving averages (EMA) of different periods. The
most common settings are 12-day and 26-day EMAs. The MACD line is derived by
subtracting the 26-day EMA from the 12-day EMA. Additionally, a 9-day EMA, known as
the signal line, is plotted on top of the MACD line to generate trade signals.

Calculation:

Step1. Calculate a 12-period exponential moving average of the close price.

Step2. Calculate a 26-period exponential moving average of the close price.

Step3. Subtract the 26-period moving average from the 12 period moving average. This is the
fast MACD line.

Step4. Calculate a 9-period exponential moving average of the fast MACD line calculated
above. This is the slow or signal MACD line.

Interpretation:

As shown on the following chart, when the MACD falls below the signal line, it is a bearish
signal line and when the MACD rises above the signal line then the indicator gives a bullish
signal.

Copyright.2023@AIMSR Page 46 of 63
Crossovers are more reliable when they conform to the current trend. If the MACD crosses
above its signal line after a brief correction then it qualifies as bullish confirmation.

iv) Average True Range (ATR) :-

Average True Range (ATR) is the average of true ranges over the specified period. ATR
measures volatility, taking into account any gaps in the price movement. Typically, the ATR
calculation is based on 14 periods, which can be intraday, daily, weekly, or monthly. To
measure recent volatility, use a shorter average, such as 2 to 10 periods. For longer-term
volatility, use 20 to 50 periods.

How this indicator works:-

• An expanding ATR indicates increased volatility in the market, with the range of each bar
getting larger. A reversal in price with an increase in ATR would indicate strength behind that
move. ATR is not directional so an expanding ATR can indicate selling pressure or buying
pressure. High ATR values usually result from a sharp advance or decline and are unlikely to
be sustained for extended periods.

• A low ATR value indicates a series of periods with small ranges (quiet days). These low
ATR values are found during extended sideways price action, thus the lower volatility. A
prolonged period of low ATR values may indicate a consolidation area and the possibility of a
continuation move or reversal.

Copyright.2023@AIMSR Page 47 of 63
• ATR is very useful for stops or entry triggers, signaling changes in volatility. Whereas fixed
dollar - point or percentage stops will not allow for volatility, the ATR stop will adapt to
sharp price moves or consolidation areas, which can trigger an abnormal price movement in
either direction. Use a multiple of ATR, such as 1.5 x ATR, to catch these abnormal price
moves.

Calculation :-

ATR = (Previous ATR * (n - 1) + TR) / n

Where: ATR = Average True Range n = number of periods or bars TR = True Range

The True Range for today is the greatest of the following:

• Today's high minus today's low

• The absolute value of today's high minus yesterday's close

• The absolute value of today's low minus yesterday's close

3.8 Diagrammatic representation

The share price is a term we can associate with a single stock. As the name suggests, an Index
is not a stock but a basket of stocks and hence has no share price. But it does have an index
value that represents the sector performance as a whole.

Copyright.2023@AIMSR Page 48 of 63
This value for the ‘NIFTY IT’ Index is based on a free-float methodology which simply
means weighing each constituent based on their Market Cap available in the market for
regular investors i.e. excluding shares that are locked-in, such as those held by promoters.

As we can see that the price of Nifty OIL AND NATURAL GAS is cinstantly decreasing in
the pic .

It can of many such reasons which we have discussed above for which the price can be
decreased.
