CNBC-TV18 learns the falling gas production at the KG-D6 is a significant reason for RIL reporting its lowest historical gross refining margin in Q2 by USD 1 per barrel.
RIL Q2 results: What analysts and investors did not like
Sources say RIL has had to replace the entire nine mmscmd of KG-D6 gas with expensive imported LNG.
Sources say 33% of the imported LNG was contracted via spots.
Analysts were disappointed by RIL's Q2 GRM of USD 10.1 per barrel, which now commands a USD 1 per barrel premium over the Singapore complex versus USD 3 per barrel last year.
