Growth Drivers
Production Enhancement Contracts (PEC)
PEC from ONGC worth ~INR 1,402 crore over 15 years will contribute meaningfully once operational.
Deep will get a fixed service fee for current production levels plus a revenue share on incremental production from the fields.
Initial revenue to start flowing in late FY25, with a bigger uplift from FY26–27 onward.
Offshore Services via Dolphin Offshore
With the Dolphin Offshore subsidiary, management has pivoted to marine services (e.g., dynamic-positioning barges, tugs, and support vessels).
Deep’s refurbished DP2 barge, “Prabha,” is set for deployment soon (internationally, likely in the Gulf of Mexico region) and is expected to command strong daily charter rates (50%+ EBITDA margin).
Further expansion in offshore assets (tugs, diving support, and supply vessels) is on the anvil depending on demand and contract availability.
Charter Hire of Entire Gas Processing Facilities
Management sees robust potential for turnkey projects (design, installation, and operation) of gas processing and dehydration units.
Demand for outsourced compression and related services remains high, aided by tightening safety norms and the push for higher domestic gas output.
Onshore Workover & Drilling Rigs
Adding new onshore rigs (both workover and drilling), supported by increasing E&P activity from public and private oil companies.
Future capex will be backed by firm contracts, helping the company maintain capital efficiency in this segment.
M&A Plans.
Evaluating inorganic opportunities to accelerate growth in oilfield services
Sectoral Tailwinds
The updated Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Amendment Bill, 2024, expanding the definition of mineral oils and streamlining petroleum leases, should spur fresh exploration and production activity.
Management expects increased outsourcing of oilfield services in India, boosting demand for turnkey solutions in drilling, compression, production enhancement, and marine services.
