(ii) Brief description of Nature of the Project

Need for the Project and its Importance

In Chennai, there are 8 pipelines (Product and Lubes) emanating from CPCL Refinery which passes through Tondiarpet Terminal/Tondiarpet Lube complex, Korukkupet Terminal and FST. Out of 6 product lines starting from CPCL, the SKO and MS lines terminates at Korukkupet terminal, ATF line terminates at Tondiarpet terminal. The MD line - 20”, Naphtha line - 18”/16” and FO line - 14” traverses from CPCL to Chennai Port. Also LUBE line of 12” dia starts from CPCL via LBP reaches Chennai Port Jetty at north quay. Thus 4 lines (One MD Line, One Naphtha line, One FO line and One Lube Line) exist across full stretch i.e. from CPCL Refinery to Chennai Port and are also called as dock-lines. The existing pipelines and their route and length are given in Table-1.

Out of the above, four docklines pass through congested public areas between Korukkupet and Chennai port sector. In the stretch between Korukkupet terminal and Chennai Port, the Black Oil, Naphtha, HSD & part of Lube lines are mostly underground.

All the aforesaid four dock-lines were constructed as non-piggable lines. These lines were originally laid between 1985 and 1998 and over the years across the line routes particularly on the underground portions, habitations have come up. Over the years,

Page 4 of 22 in and around the pipeline route between Korukkupet Terminal and Foreshore Terminal habitations have come up and road infrastructure has also developed over the pipelines and it has become extremely difficult to have access to the underground segments. Hence, maintenance of the underground portion of lines between Tondiarpet R.S/Korukkupet Terminal and port entry (UG segment) have become too difficult task. Despite line withstanding enhanced hydrotesting annually, in case of eventuality of a minor leak, it becomes very difficult to locate and take corrective action. It has the potential to create unsafe incidents in view of pipelines passing underground through habitations and several stretches are below the public roads having heavy traffic out of which some are roads plying the heavy vehicles/containers from/to Chennai Port.

These lines were not designed and constructed as piggable and thus taking up periodic integrity assessment study is not feasible. Hence it is proposed to replace the UG portion of the pipeline with piggable line for safe and reliable operation.

M/s BPCL also had 3 dock lines passing through the same area through habitations in the same topography in slightly different routes from that of IOC had to be shut off (underground segment connecting Terminal & Port) in 2013 consequent to a PIL case filed in National Green Tribunal Chennai (NGT) after the incident of contamination of water in the bore well/wells near their lines.

In the same ongoing PIL case in National Green Tribunal, Chennai, MOP&NG as one of the respondents made various short, medium and long term commitment on behalf of OMCs. As per which, IOC will be taking action for re-routing of the underground portion of the dock lines in the Railway corridor.

The lines are serving the vital requirement of the Nation, in meeting the requirements of Defense/Para military, Power Sector, Railways, Transport, Major industries and PDS besides meeting the MS/HSD demand of Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry UT and parts of adjoining states namely Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka.

These lines are used for both export from CPCL, import and coastal positioning of HSD during short fall in CPCL production to meet the demand of Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry UT and parts of adjoining states namely Andhra Pradesh & Karnataka. The naphtha line is used for evacuation of Naphtha from CPCL by way of export. The FO line is used for positioning product at FST from CPCL for bunkering as well as for export from Chennai port. Similar manner the Lube line is used for export from CPCL /import of base oils as well as extracts. Thus these dock lines play a vital role in evacuation of CPCL production and also receive through coastal movement to meet local demand during shortfall in production /shut down period. Besides meeting the MS/HSD demand of Public, these lines also cater to requirement of PDS, all the 3 wings of Defense, Coast Guard, Para military, Civil Aviation, Bunkering requirements for merchant navy ships, major customers like power plants, Railways, State Transport sectors, Fertilizer plants etc.

Taking into consideration the vital requirement of these lines on the one hand and the challenge of lines passing through habitations on the other hand, it is proposed to re-route the lines between IOC Korukkupet and IOC Foreshore Terminal., Chennai.

The schematic layout depicting the existing lines and the lines proposed for replacement is enclosed as Annexure-I.

However, for Operations no additional manpower is required and existing manpower will be used.

3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

(i) Type of project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any.

Re-laying/re-routing of three new piggable lines namely, one line for Black Oil , second line for White Oil and third line for Lubes on Railway land/Port land connecting Korukkupet and Chennai Port.

The proposed pipeline is envisaged to be used for transportation of

(a) 20” dia for White Oil products MS, HSD, ATF, Naptha, SKO as a multiproduct line (b) 14” dia for Black Oils (c) 12” dia for Lube Oils

(ii)Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted.

Various options for re-routing through unhabitated areas were studied, but as the city has grown, there is no space available for laying the above 4 lines. Therefore Railways were approached for additional space to the extent of 4 mts width, for laying the lines along the Railway Corridor between Korukkupet and Chennai Port entry, where IOC already have 1.6 mts width ROW and Railways have positively considered IOC request.

As per guidelines, in 4 mtr width, maximum 3 pipelines can only be accommodated comfortably complying the OISD norms and accordingly, against the presently existing 4 lines, it is proposed to lay the following 3 pipelines to meet the requirements. The proposed pipeline is envisaged to be used for transportation of following products.

20” dia for White Oil products MS, HSD, ATF, Naptha, SKO as a multiproduct line 14” dia for Black Oils 12” dia for Lube Oils

(iii) Size or magnitude of operation.

Products to be handled

The products to be handled in White Oil pipeline are MS, HSD, ATF, and NAPHTHA. In Black Oil pipeline, FO, is proposed to be handled and in Lube oil pipeline, Lubes is proposed.

Product Characteristics

The pipeline system has been designed on the basis of the following characteristics of the products:

Pipeline Product Specific gravity Kinematic viscosity in size considered CST 20” dia HSD 0.85 5 @ 40 deg C 14” dia FO 0.95 180@ 50 deg C 12.75” dia Lube Oil 0.88 100@ 40 deg C

Design Capacity

The pipeline has been designed considering the loading and unloading of tanker parcels which have to be handled with optimal time and accordingly a flow rate of 1500 KL per hour for 20” W.O line, 600 KL per hour for 14” B.O lines and 200 KL per hour for 12.75” Lube line.

The present throughput per annum are as follows

W.O products : 1.1 MMTPA B.O products : 0.7 MMTPA Lubes : 0.3 MMTPA

Page 9 of 22

Design Parameters

For mainline as well as station piping, a weld joint factor of 1.00 (one) has been considered.

Maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of the system is based on 50% of the specified minimum yield strength of the pipe material.

The pipeline design is based on the API/ASME B 31.4 standards applicable for hydro carbon pipelines.

Pipeline thickness is calculated considering the corrosion allowance, stress and surge requirements as per the above standards using the formula below

T- thickness of pipe S- yield strength in psi :46000 (46 grade pipe) S.F - safety factor assumed at 50% =0.5 D- diameter of the pipeline in inch MAOP- Maximum allowabale operating pressure

As per the pipeline operations, maximum operating pressure shall not exceed 7Kg/sq.cm, however for the calculation purpose 12 Kg/sq.cm maximum operating pressure is considered. API 5L X46 grade pipes have been chosen. Accordingly the thickness required and maximum allowable operating pressures for the considered pipelines are given the Table-2.

TABLE-2 PIPELINE SPECIFICATIONS

Pipeline Thickness of Thickness required Actual MAOP dia in pipeline for maximum operating Kg/sq.cm inches considered operating pressure pressure (inch) (inch) considered 20 0.281 0.07419 12 45.45 14 0.281 0.05193 12 64.93 12.75 0.281 0.04729 12 71.29

Thus Pipes of higher wall thickness and MAOP are much higher than the required. Further corrosion mitigation measures are implemented.

There are no water course crossings and there are only rail and road crossings. At rail crossings, where casing pipe would be provided, the pipe wall thickness would remain same as that for the main pipeline as per the standards. For Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) technique at rail crossings, higher wall thickness pipes are considered.

Entire relaying/re-routing is planned to be laid as underground with effective cover of minimum 1.2 M below the ground level.

Pipeline Size Optimization

It is proposed to re-route/ lay 3 piggable lines namely one line for Black Oil, second line for White Oil and third line for Lubes on Railway land connecting Korukkupet and Chennai Port through the areas which will facilitate better management and maintenance of dock lines in this stretch. These lines will pass through Railway land from Korukkupet to Royapuram via Vannarapet RS and enter the Port area below the ROB connecting Royapuram and Beach Stations.

Since the replacement of the pipelines is only in the stretch between Korukkupet terminal and FST/Jetty and to ensure uniformity, piggability and achieving requisite flow rate, it is proposed to lay pipes of the same dia as the existing ones from CPCL to Jetty. Hence the new white oil line is proposed to be 20” W.O dia (the existing 20” dia MD line right from Korukkupet to Jetty), the new Black oil pipeline to be 14” dia (existing B.O line from CPCL is 14” dia from CPCL to Jetty) and the new Lube oil line is 12” dia (existing Lubeline is 12” dia from CPCL /LBP Chennai to Jetty). The details of the proposed pipeline is given in Table-3.

Hydraulics and System Configuration

These pipelines are docklines running from Chennai Port to CPCL for about 10 KMs with a elevation difference of only 5 metres. The existing pumps and the ship pumps shall be used for pumping in the proposed pipeline.

System requirements

Configuration of the pipeline system broadly involves the following:

Page 11 of 22

Existing pumps of CPCL for various products such as HSD, MS, Naphtha and Black Oil and at FST the existing pumps shall be utilized to meet the requisite throughput and flow rate as covered in the previous chapter.

The Scraper facilities shall be provided at FST and Korukkupet Terminal.

Necessary surge relief system and thermal relief valves are provided for safety with underground storage facilities for the released oil.

Suitable Mass Flow Meters (MFMs) shall be provided at Korukkupet and FST to measure the incoming and outgoing flow.

The proposed pipelines will be hooked upto the existing pipeline system at Korukkupet exchange pit.

Pipeline route

It is proposed to lay the above lines in the Railway corridor from Korukkupet to Port entry. From Port entry, White Oil and Black oil lines will be diverted towards FST in the port’s ROW and the lube oil will be diverted towards North Quay Jetty. From Korukkupet, Lube line will be extended upto Tondiarpet Railway station on the other side and hooked to the existing lube line from where it is presently taking a diversion towards Vaidyanathan street so that the entire lines fall in Railway corridor. The details of intermediate distances of all the 3 lines are enclosed in the schematic diagram. The route encounters 2 Nos HDD crossings (Horizontal directional drilling) and 3 Nos. Railway crossings. Within this ROW laying of an optical fibre cable for communication/Data transfer for SCADA is also taken into account. Designed operating pressure will be upto 23 kg /sq.cm with adequate flow rate and the pipelines will be provided with Cathodic protection.

Due to ROW restrictions for laying one more line exclusively for MS/Naphtha independent of the 20” WO line, is not possible. Hence, the proposed WO pipe line shall be used as a multi-product, piggable pipe line for pumping & receipt of HSD, MS & Naphtha as the same is a piggable line.

All the facilities planned are proposed for integration with already planned MB LAL facilities/TAS. Existing MCC room, fire pump facilities. W.O pump house are being shifted to additional area to meet the OISD inter distance norms. New Control room planned as per TAS and for MB LAL safety automation is also coming in the additional area. In the proposed project, automation systems are integrated with OFC, provision for application for leak detection system and the SCADA facility are included.

The pipeline route starts from Foreshore Terminal of IOC in Chennai Port premises and it travers through the Chennai Port Trust land and enters the Railway corridor near Royapuram Railway Station along with the Railway line it traverses upto IOC Korukkupet by the side of Railway track. IOC has 1.6 m ROW along the railway and additionally 2.4 m wide corridors is being allotted by Railways. A schematic diagram indicating the pipelines and the Railway track is attached as Annexure-II.

The terrain along the pipeline route is mostly flat and plain and at 3 locations it crosses the Railway track to accommodate the space constraints, during the traverses it also crosses 3 minor road crossings which are crossing railway lines.

The proposed scheme is expected to be completed in a period of 6-10 months after receipt of statutory clearances. The cost of project management & engineering is estimated on the basis of this envisaged time schedule. The manpower requirement during construction phase would be about 40 persons.

The pipeline system is estimated to cost 49.50 Crores including a foreign exchange component of Rs. 27.6 lakhs at July 2014 price level. The proposal will be undertaken as non-plan scheme for which necessary Budget provision will be included in RBE 2014-15 & BE 2015-16. The project will be undertaken through re-appropriation till approval of the Budget.

The project cost for pipeline facilities has been estimated on the basis of the following:

 Cost actually incurred in the past with appropriate escalation.  Establishing physical requirements, preliminary specifications and in-house cost data.  Experience of virtually identical projects elsewhere to establish physical requirements and cost.  Experience of slightly different projects adjusted approximately to establish physical requirements and budgetary quotations.  Experience of similar projects in value/terms adjusted for price difference by past experience and escalation data.

Survey and field engineering

This cost includes the cost of surveys, sub-soil investigation & field engineering.

Additional Land and ROW

Additional Land required at FST and ROW in the Port areas are taken on lease basis. The ROW on Railway land also will be taken on lease as per existing terms and conditions.

Mainline Pipes & Materials

The cost of pipe and coating has been considered as per the latest data available. The cost of mainline materials required such as casing pipe, coating and wrapping materials, valves etc. has been estimated on the basis of budgetary offers and cost actually incurred in recent past on similar items.

Mainline Construction

The cost of mainline construction has been estimated on the basis of the cost incurred in similar project executed elsewhere, suitably adjusted to bring it to July 2014 price level.

Pump Station and Terminal

Since approvals for both TAS (Terminal automation system) and MB LAL works have been obtained and facilities are yet to come up, these facilities will be integrated to meet the dock line operational, control and monitoring objectives. This is necessary

as they have to function in a co-ordinated manner as the objectives are same and accordingly while drawing the estimates for the project this aspect has been considered.

Cathodic Protection

This includes the cost of materials required for temporary and permanent cathodic protection, installation & commissioning of equipment/materials, CP rectifier units, ground beds, cable etc. Estimates are based on budgetary offers and the rates from similar projects executed in the recent past.

Telecommunication and Tele supervisory System

Cost estimates are based on budgetary offers/earlier purchase orders, adjusted suitably.

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS)

Financial and Social Benefits

The project related pipeline installation activities will benefit the local populace in a number of ways such as supply of construction labourers – skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled, tertiary sector employment and provision of goods and services for daily needs including transport. This project will facilitate better safety, management and maintenance of dock lines. Hence, the project will have positive impact in the region.
