Major Ongoing Projects
 
In order to strengthen core processes and modernize, HPCL has developed ambitious plans for expansion and diversification in the areas of increasing energy demand, technological upgradation and environment management. HPCL has proposed capital expenditure (including equity investments in Joint Ventures) of Rs. 11487 Crores during the eleventh plan. Currently, several projects are in progress in different parts of India. Here is a brief introduction to these projects.
 
 
In the recent past, HPCL has commissioned some major projects like:
  • Mundra-Delhi Pipe Line (MDPL): A 1056 KM Product pipeline connecting the port of Mundra in Gujarat to Delhi with Tap-offs in between. Completed in 36 months at an cost of   Rs. 1757 Crores. Dedicated to the nation on 3rd Feb 2009
  • LPG Cavern Storage at Visakhapatnam by SALPG, a Joint Venture of HPCL: 60000 MT of LPG storage at a cost of Rs. 333 Crores, Commissioned in January 2008.
  • Visakh-Vijayawada-Secunderabad Pipe Line (VVSPL): Length of Pipeline: 571 Km, Cost: Rs. 841 Crores, Commissioned in 2002.
 
 
New FCCU at Mumbai Refinery:

HPCL is setting up New Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) at its Mumbai Refinery. Under this project new FCCU of 1.456 MMTPA with Gas concentration unit (GCU) and Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD -158 TPM) Units of matching capacity will be installed. This will enhance the secondary processing capacity of the refinery.
 
The following major facilities are also to be made available through this project.
 
  • FCCU Feed Section consisting of feed Pre-heaters & Furnace
  • Reactor –Regeneration section consisting of catalyst circulation circuit, catalyst handling section, MAB, fuel gas cooling circuit
  • Main Fractionator and Gas Concentration Unit (GCU)
  • Fuel Gas scrubbing section (FGSU)
  • Fuel gas treating section
  • Associated utilities, DCS, Substation etc.
 
The cost of the project has been estimated at INR 900 Crores. The project is expected to be completed by May 2010.
 
 
Lube Oil Base Stock (LOBS) Up gradation project at Mumbai Refinery:
 
HPCL operates one of the largest Lube refineries in the country with production in the tune of 335 TMT of various Grades of API Group-1 LOBS having Sulphur above 300 ppm and saturates below 90%.
 
The market demand for LOBS quality with Sulphur below 300 ppm and saturates above 90% (i.e. API Group-II category) has increased in recent years. Hence HPCL is working to upgrade the production of LOBS quality up to 200 TMT per annum of Group II LOBS and 130 TMT per annum of Group I LOBS. Capability will also be provided to produce API Group III LOBS.
 
The cost of this project has been estimated at INR 1030 Crores.
 
The tentative date of completion of the upgradation has been set as May 2010.
 
 
Diesel Hydro Treating (DHT) at Mumbai & Visakhapatnam Refineries:
 
HPCL is going to equip its Mumbai and Visakhapatnam refineries with Diesel Hydro Treating (DHT) facilities. This enhancement drive is in regard to the Auto Fuel Policy Euro-IV norms that are slated to be followed in all Metro regions by the year 2010. Mumbai & Visakhapatnam refineries are fast being face lifted to be able to supply Euro-IV spec MS and Euro-IV HSD.
 
HPCL is also going to install DHT with the capacity of 2.2 MMTPA and associated facilities at Mumbai & Visakhapatnam refineries to meet the Euro IV specification for Diesel as per GOI guidelines. EIL has been engaged for configuration study.
 
The Environmental clearance for both the refineries, Mumbai Refinery and Visakh Refinery have been obtained.
 
The cost of the project is estimated at INR 3284 Crores for Mumbai Refinery and INR 3597 Crores for Visakhapatnam Refinery.
 
 
 
Single Point Mooring (SPM) Project at Visakh Refinery:
 
Visakh Refinery is putting up a SPM project to facilitate unloading of large crude parcels of the size of around 300,000 Metric Tonnes from Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs). The VLCCs cannot be berthed in the existing crude receiving jetties due to draught restrictions.
 
The installation of SPM will reduce the freight cost and wharfage charges and thus will improve the economics of the Refinery. The cost of this project has been estimated at about INR 643 Crores
 
The Environmental Clearance for this project has been obtained. The project is expected to be completed by May 2010.
 
 
 
Resitement of Visakhapatnam Terminal
 
In order to provide additional ground area to Visakh Refinery for setting up facilities to produce green fuels, it is proposed to shift the adjacently located marketing facilities consisting of POL terminals and LPG Plant.  The scope of the green field project consists of setting up of new Black oil, White oil and LPG facilities in the plots acquired from VPT.
 
Black Oil facilities include setting up of about 94,000 KL storage tanks and two tank truck gantries of 8 bays each to handle Bitumen, Furnace oil (FO), Low Sulphur Heavy stock (LSHS), Light Diesel Oil (LDO) Jute Batching Oil (JBO) and High Flash HSD (HF HSD).
 
White Oil facilities include storage of about 1,68,000 KL Motor Spirit (MS), High Speed Diesel (HSD), Naphtha & Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), two tank truck loading gantries of 8 bays each and a single spur T/W gantry to load 46 BTPN tank wagons.
 
LPG facilities include setting up of mounded storage of about 4,400 MT capacity to store LPG, Auto LPG and Propylene, a single spur tank wagon gantry to load 32 BTPN TG wagons and bottling facilities of capacity 88,000MTPA.
 
The total project cost is about Rs 750 Cr. and the completion schedule is as under:
  • Black Oil Terminal: December 2010
  • White Oil Terminal: Dec 2011
  • LPG Facilities: March 2011
 
Guru Gobind Singh Refinery Products Evacuation Project (GGSRPEP)
 
Hindustan Mittal Energy Ltd. (HMEL), a Joint Venture Company of HPCL with M/s Mittal Energy Investments Pte Ltd is setting up a Green field State of the Art 9 MMTPA capacity refinery at Bathinda in Punjab. Marketing of products of GGSR is entrusted with HPCL.
 

A new storage cum dispatch terminal is being put up near the refinery at Raman Mandi for receiving POL products (MS, HSD, SKO & ATF) from the refinery and further pumping into two product pipelines.

  • Raman Mandi - Bathinda Pipeline (10” dia, 30 km long with a capacity of approximately 1.37 MMTPA)

  • Raman Mandi - Bahadurgarh Pipeline. (18” dia, 250 km long with a capacity of approximately 4.71 MMTPA)
 
The estimated cost of the project is Rs 605 Crores. The project is scheduled for completion by March 2011.
 
 
 
Ennore Terminal
 
HPCL is setting up a Greenfield Oil Terminal at Ennore, located in northern outskirts of Chennai City. Ennore is approx. 30 Kms. away from Chennai City and falls under Tiruvalur district of Tamil Nadu. This is relocation of the existing facilities at Tondiarpet, Chennai.
 

The terminal shall have tankages of capacity 1,40,000 KL for storage and dispatch of products of Motor Spirit (MS), High Speed Diesel (HSD), Superior Kerosene Oil (SKO) and Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF).

 

Project includes setting up of  facilities including tankages, Tank Truck loading facility, Tank Wagon loading/ receipt facility along with product receipt facilities from the Ennore Port and Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd (CPCL).
