BRIEF SUMMARY COT AND ASSOCIATED FACILITIES RATNAGIRI & PROJECT

1.1 Introduction

M/s Indian Corporation Limited (IOCL), M/s Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) and M/s Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) intend to jointly set up a 60 MMTPA integrated refinery-cum-petrochemical complex on the West Coast, primarily to cater to the growing fuels and petrochemical requirements of the country-besides addressing the additional objective of selective export of the produce. The refinery shall be located in Babulwadi in Rajapur Taluka of Ratnagiri District.

1.2 SPM and Crude Receipt facilities

The configuration of the refinery is based on two crudes blend with density ranging from 27 to 30°API.

Considering 60 MMTPA crude processing capacity of the refinery, it is envisaged that the main crudes shall be brought through SPMs in VLCC carriers. The complex shall also have the flexibility to process opportunity crudes like waxy and high tan crudes and condensates which may be available in smaller parcel sizes. Therefore facilities shall also be provided in Jetty to bring smaller parcel size vessels.

Babulwadi is 12 km from the coast. The Vijaydrug jetty in Sindhugarh district is approximately 15 km from the site. It is proposed that all the marine facilities including SPM and Jetties will be located in Girye bay,Vijaydurg.

The marine facilities shall consist of • Three Single Buoy Mooring (SPM) • PLEM (Pipeline End Manifold) • 4-48” Submarine pipelines • Small craft Jetty for berthing of the support boats • Anchorage areas

1.3 Crude Unloading

Crude oil will be pumped from tanker moored at SPMs (Single Point Mooring) by the tanker pumps via offshore & onshore pipelines. As a part of crude handling capacity of terminal of 60 MMTPA, following facility has been considered to enable the required crude unload volume through SPMs.

• 3 No’s of SPMs • 4 No’s 48” Offshore/Onshore Pipelines connecting SPMs with COT.

Five jetty in Girye bay, Vijaydurg has also been considered to handle the following: • Import of opportunity crudes / condensates, VGO, and VR. • Export of LPG and liquid fuel products. • Coastal movement of liquid fuel products in smaller size vessels • Export of solid petrochemical products. 1

1.4 Crude Oil Terminal The Crude Oil Terminal (COT) shall comprise of the following facilities.

• Crude Oil Storage and Blending • Desalination Plant • Utility & Offsite

The crude oil will be received at Crude Oil Terminal (COT) through SPM system and will be transported to refinery through a 48”cross-country pipeline. The COT shall have a storage capacity equivalent to 13 days of crude processing capacity. Total storage capacity is 26,40,000 m3 (44 tanks).

1.5 Desalination Plant

The estimated treated raw water requirement for the 60 MMTPA configurations is 120 MGD. It is proposed to set up a desalination plant at Girye port Vijaydurg to supply treated raw water to the complex. The desalination plant will be located in the Crude Oil Terminal. Permeate water from the plant will be pumped to the refinery complex through three 48” dia pipelines. The approximate distance between the Desalination plant and the refinery complex is 15 KM.

1.6 Utility & Offsite Facilities

In order to operate the crude oil terminal and the desalination plant, following Utilities are envisaged at COT. Power shall be imported from grid.

• Compressed air system • Inert Gas system • Drinking Water/Service Water • Fire Water system. Fire fighting facilities shall be provided as per OISD norms.

Cathodic protection of tank bottom plate has also been envisaged

• Emergency Power system • Effluent disposal shall be to a closed system.

The Effluent disposal shall be to a closed system. Crude storage tanks water content shall be drained after settling to the water drain tank. Oil separated from water drain tank shall be pumped back to crude storage tanks and water shall be drained to OWS system which shall be routed to treatment plant. Oil recovered from treatment plant shall be pumped back to crude . Treated water shall be disposed at suitable location.
