India's Nayara sees no problem in replacing Iranian oil, if required

LONDON (Reuters) - Indian private refiner Nayara Energy, a key buyer of Iranian oil, is prepared to replace Iranian oil if required under U.S. sanctions and hopes to settle dues owed to Tehran for past purchases ahead of a November deadline, its chief executive said.

Uncertainties cloud Iran’s oil exports after U.S. President Donald Trump abandoned a 2015 nuclear agreement this month and ordered the re-imposition of U.S. sanctions on Tehran.

Some sanctions take effect after a 90-day “wind-down” period ending on Aug. 6, and the rest, notably on the petroleum sector, after a 180-day “wind-down period” ending on Nov. 4.

Nayara, formerly known as Essar Oil, would leverage the vast network of its promoters - Russia’s Rosneft and trader Trafigura, to replace Iranian oil, if required under the U.S. sanctions.

“After the shareholding management changes there have been constant interactions with a wide range of suppliers leveraging on our respective shareholder network. For us that’s not a concern,” B. Anand said on the sidelines on the Platts Global Crude Oil Summit in London.

The company operates a 400,000 bpd sophisticated refinery at Vadinar in the country’s west coast.

Anand said his firm was in constant discussions with alternative suppliers of crude.

He added that they would prefer a lot heavy and ultra heavy crudes, “that will fetch you the best economics”.

Rosneft, Russian fund UCP and Swiss commodities trader Trafigura bought Essar Oil for $12.9 billion last year.

Anand declined to comment on the company’s plans on its imports of Iranian crude for the remainder of the year saying they are “assessing the situation as it unfolds”.

In April, Anand said the company was aiming to buy 120,000barrels per day (bpd) of oil from Iran in 2018/19, the same as the previous year, adding his company was receiving the same concessions as state-owned Indian refiners for Iranian oil purchases.

Anand also said he “most likely” expected Nayara to repay outstanding debt to Iran before the Nov. 4 deadline when the180-day “wind-down period” of U.S. sanctions on Iran comes to an end.

The company settled about 2 billion euros ($2.3 billion) in dues to Iran to cover previous oil purchases and still owes around 500 million euros.

Nearly 120,000 voters reportedly left off Los Angeles voter rolls on crucial primary day

Nearly 120,000 names were left off the voting rolls in Los Angeles during Tuesday's crucial jungle primary due to a printing error, local officials said.

The 118,522 voters' names were erroneously excluded across more than a thousand precincts in the state, local officials said.

"We apologize for the inconvenience and concern this has caused," Dean C. Logan, the county clerk, said in a statement. "Voters should be assured their vote will be counted."

The local registrar's office has said registered voters who have been affected by the printing error can cast provisional ballots that will be counted, Los Angeles' KTLA reported.

But former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who is locked in a fierce primary fight for the number-two spot in the California gubernatorial race, called for polls to remain open longer as a result of the snafu.

@antonio4ca

I'm calling on @LACountyRRCC to keep the polls open longer because of the unprecedented number of voters left off the voter rolls. You have the right to vote. If you were turned away, return to your polling place & exercise your right to vote by requesting a provisional ballot.

"I'm calling on @LACountyRRCC to keep the polls open longer because of the unprecedented number of voters left off the voter rolls," Villaraigosa wrote on Twitter. "You have the right to vote. If you were turned away, return to your polling place & exercise your right to vote by requesting a provisional ballot."

Los Angeles County Democratic Party Chair Mark Gonzalez said in a statement that many voters probably will be too frustrated to take the city up on that offer, though.

"While it is true that voters whose names are not on their precinct's voter roll can and must obtain that provisional ballot to cast their vote, it is an inevitability that many will have seen their names not on the voter roll and be turned off from voting entirely," Gonzalez said.

"We will work closely with Dean Logan and the County Registrar to ensure this does not happen again and that every vote is counted," he added.

Newsom is the clear front-runner in the race.

Because of California's "jungle primary ," the top two vote-getters – regardless of party – advance to a runoff in November.

Newsom has said he would prefer to face a Republican and it's understandable because Democrats dominate in California. Republican registration has fallen for years and the party has not won a statewide contest in more than a decade, when Arnold Schwarzenegger was re-elected governor in 2006.
