1.3 Need for the Project Govt. of India is constantly promoting cleaner fuel especially in the rural thru various schemes like Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana; under which till date more than 9 Crores LPG connections have been given with majority of the connections being given in rural areas to promote the Government of India’s vision of safer and greener fuel usage replacing the traditional fuels of wood, cow dung, coal etc. This effort is also directly linked with India’s commitment towards reducing its carbon footprint. LPG (Liquefied Petroleum gas) is Govt. controlled priced product predominantly for domestic consumption. This being an essential commodity, emphasis always has been distribution by the 3 Oil Marketing PSUs authorized by MoPNG and hence, this is required to be sourced as well as distributed at optimum cost. Country’s requirement of import cargos are procured on joint basis by all 3 Central PSUs (IOCL, HPCL & BPCL). LPG Jetty infrastructure at Dahej proposed by HPCL can be used by all 3 Central PSUs, for meeting the increasing country deficit LPG requirement. Further, with other initiatives like the National Infrastructure Pipeline, the Govt. of India is requiring the PSUs to substantially improve infrastructure investments to give boost for the economy with the aim of reaching the 5 Trillion $ economy scale by 2024. 1.4 Demand-Supply Gap It is a very well-known fact that India as a country is deficit in domestic gas production and approximately 80% of the energy basket is through imports. LPG also is a similar case wherein India is pre-dominantly dependent on the imports to source the LPG for meeting the ever growing domestic demand. As per the PNGRB authorization details of pipeline distances, Dahej, Pipavav, Kandla are the nearest connecting import locations in the order of proximity for supplies thru the Kandla Gorakhpur LPG pipeline. HPCL does not have any own import facilities connected to the proposed KGPL, while IOC has Kandla import facility which is presently catering to Jamnagar Loni Pipeline (JLPL). The net import requirement of HPCL (excluding product offtake from Bina Refinery) for supply through KGPL by 2033-34, is 1.77 MMTPA. The current import facility of Gujarat Chemical Port Terminal Company (GCPTCL) at Dahej has capacity of only 0.5 MMTPA out of which presently HPCL is utilizing 0.14 MMTPA. IOCL Kandla’s present capacity of 1.2 MMTPA is being fully utilized by them for JLPL. They have plans for capacity expansion in two phases to 2.5 MMTPA & 5 MMTPA. However, their own requirement of JLPL & KGPL are expected to be more than the possible expansion. A new LPG import facility of Adani has come up at Mundra with 2.5 MMTPA capacity and with a phase-II capacity of 5

MMTPA. However, this source has maximum pipeline distance to receiving plants as compared to Dahej and others Gujarat Ports Chhara and Pipavav and hence, is not economical for product sourcing. Accordingly, Dahej is the first preferred port for LPG imports to meet HPCL input requirement into KGPL in view of shorter distance to the proposed KGPL alignment. Therefore, HPCL has proposed to build the Jetty at Dahej and Cavern storage at Vadodara for overall cost optimization in distribution of LPG Product into the upcoming Kandla-Gorakhpur Pipeline. View above and for the proposed Dahej LPG Import Facilities to be developed by HPCL, which is crucial infrastructure project to fulfil the growing LPG demands and in order to meet Govt. of India schemes like Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, National Infrastructure Pipeline. 1.5 Imports vs Indigenous Production The proposed jetty is planned to be developed for import of LPG. The jetty construction in hinterland through backward / forward integration would be able to effectively use the jetty. 1.6 Employment Generation due to the Project During the construction phase, services of about 500 Nos. laborers would be hired mostly from nearby areas. Subsequently, in operation about 50 Nos. of man power shall be employed directly/indirectly. HPCL will give preference to the local people during construction and operation phase of the project depending upon the skill, job requirement and capability. Several other indirect employment opportunities will be created in the surrounding areas viz., Transport, business, workshops, grocery & retails, medical, etc. 1.7 Codes and Standards The jetty facilities shall be designed in accordance with various national and international design standards, codes, guidelines as issued from various agencies. These are listed in Table 1-1. Table 1-1: List of National and International Standards Code Description Marine Facilities IS 4651 Code of Practice for Planning and Design of Port and Harbours.

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 Types of Project including Interlinked and Interdependent Project, if any. The project consists of following three major work elements;  LPG import Jetty (5 MMTPA capacity) with approach trestle, and all associated facilities such as loading arms, firefighting facilities, electrical and mechanical equipment,  Piping and pipelines on the Jetty & Trestle up to the proposed Dahej Onshore Dispatch Station  On shore Dahej Dispatch Station for Pumping LPG towards Vadodara 2.2 Location of the Project Dahej is located Gulf of Khambhat, Gujarat, about 150 km south west of Vadodara and 50 km west of Baruch and Ankleshwar as shown in figure 2-1

Figure 2-1: Geographical Location of Dahej

Dahej is a coastal town with several industrial developments over the last few decades. Due to rapid growth of industrial activities, many jetties and berths have been constructed in the western part of the city facing Gulf of Khambhat. HPCL signed a memorandum of understanding for the development of LPG import facility at Dahej and Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) for carrying out survey and site investigation works within the following coordinates for the proposed LPG import Jetty North of existing Birla Copper

10 | P a g e

PFR for the proposed construction of LPG Import Jetty with dispatch station and Onshore pipeline to Vadadora at Dahej village, Bharuch District, Gujarat. jetty at Dahej. The final co-ordinates given by GMB of four corners of proposed site is given in figure 2-2 & 2-3.

Figure 2-2: Location of proposed jetty (Option – 01 & 02)

The area proposed by GMB is north of existing Birla Copper Jetty by 1600m towards north. The available waterfront is approximately 2000m. The minimum distance to reach low water line is approximately 2.3 km (south location) and 3.0 km (north location) respectively. This is due to the shifting of high water line (coast line) towards inside near the existing Dahej Port. It can be seen from above figure that the inter-tidal zone is very long in the order of 1km to 1.5km. It is seen from picture that deep water area (depth > 20m) is approximately 4.4km away and hence dredging may not be required if the jetty is located in the close vicinity to 4.0km location.

2.4 Bathymetry The Gulf of Khambhat extends from East & West coasts of Gujarat with a coverage area of more than 200,000 Ha with a coastal distance of nearly 200km. The area is covered with intertidal mud flats, creeks, mangroves, salt pans and marsh land. The discharge from Tapti, Narmada, Mahi and Sabarmati and several other minor rivers joins the gulf with large amount of sediments. Gulf of Khambhat is the largest intertidal region with spring tide in excess of 8m. The current in the region exceeds 3 m/sec during spring tide and 2m/sec during neap tide.

12 | P a g e

PFR for the proposed construction of LPG Import Jetty with dispatch station and Onshore pipeline to Vadadora at Dahej village, Bharuch District, Gujarat.

The bathymetry in the region is typically same from south to north from Petronet LNG jetty towards the existing Dahej old Port. The mudflat and shallow water extends up to a distance of approximately 2000m from high tide line. This region is inter-tidal in nature, at low tide the whole area is exposed, and at high tide it is covered with tidal water. The seabed elevation beyond this limit is covered with water body even during low tide as seen from the google maps. The water depth increases to 10m to 15m suddenly and it extends to a distance of at least another 500m to 600m beyond which the water depth is nearly 20m. This can be seen from the hydrographic charts of the area as shown in figure 2.5. This means that the jetty shall be located at the shallow water area at a distance of at least 2000 to 2500m from high water line so that at all times sufficient water depth will be available for berthing and unloading of cargo.

Figure 2-7 Loading position and operating envelope (HHWS)

The marine loading arms will be fitted with the following as a minimum.

 Hydraulically operated quick connect/disconnect coupler (QC/DC)  Emergency release system (ERS) will be of three stages  Individual hydraulic power pack  Storm locking device  Insulating flange  Audio-visual alarm for safety  IP 66 is proposed as degree of protection for all outdoor electrical equipment. 2.6.3 LPG Handling Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a mixture of Propane (C3H8) 30 to 40% and Butane (C4H10) 60 to 70% by volume. The LPG is a mixture of certain light hydrocarbon predominately C3H8 & C4H10, derived from petroleum & natural gas. These will be at gaseous state at ambient temperature and pressure, may be condensed to a liquid state at normal ambient temperature by the application of moderate pressure (12 to 14 kg/cm2g) or by cooling to temperature beyond their boiling point at ambient pressure and conforming to IS : 4576. The critical temperature of LPG (highest temperature to retain liquid state) is 97°C for propane and 152°C for Butane. Similarly, the critical pressure for Propane and Butane are 43 kg/cm2 and

39 kg/cm2 respectively. Critical pressure is the minimum pressure required keep the liquid state. It is proposed to import LPG using large gas carriers in the range of 40,000 MT to 75,000 MT parcel size. Two loading arms shall be provided for import of Propane and Butane and three spare slot for

16 | P a g e

PFR for the proposed construction of LPG Import Jetty with dispatch station and Onshore pipeline to Vadadora at Dahej village, Bharuch District, Gujarat. future purposes (12” each loading arm size) is planned for the design purposes. Two options are considered at present. a) The imported propane and butane will be blended using a blending unit provided at the dispatch station. b) Import directly the blended LPG from the LPG carrier as an option. The Propane and Butane will be blended at the dispatch station located at a distance of 7.00 km from jetty in the vicinity of existing Dahej port backup land. Additional booster pumping facilities shall be provided at the dispatch station to pump the LPG to the underground cavern located at Vadodara at 150 km. Hence, Two pipelines (one for propane and one for Butane) are proposed for the transportation LPG from Jetty to the dispatch Station. However, space for three additional lines is provision for future use. The overall process flow arrangement is shown figure 4.3. In case the blended LPG is imported from vessel, any one of the pipeline will be used for pumping to the dispatch station. Table 2-1 Typical properties of Propane and Butane

3.5 Climatic Conditions The environmental conditions described here under have been based on in-house data and that procured from the Indian Metrological Department (IMD). Wherever insufficient information was available, expert judgments have been made. It will be necessary to perform model testing and detailed analysis at the design phase of the project to confirm the assumed data. The climate in the region has a typical monsoon character. Two monsoons dominate the climate - the southwestern summer monsoon and the northeastern winter monsoon. The summer monsoon starts around the beginning of June and holds on until September. The northeast monsoon starts by the latter half of October and lasts until December. The summer monsoon is stronger than the winter monsoon and the months between both monsoons form a transition period of calmer weather. Storms occur particularly in autumn months. 3.6 Winds From the compilation of wind parameters, it is observed that the wind speeds are high during the month of May, June, July, August. Wind speeds are found to be low during the month of February. During the rest of months, i.e. January, March, April and September to December the wind speed is moderate. The details of the design wind speed arrived by the hind casting database are given in Table 3-3.

PFR for the proposed construction of LPG Import Jetty with dispatch station and Onshore pipeline to Vadadora at Dahej village, Bharuch District, Gujarat. contributes about 75% of the average annual rainfall of about 600 mm. The highest rainfall is reported for the month of July, which often forms about 20 to 25% of the total rainfall. 3.8 Temperature and humidity Variation in maximum temperature are observed throughout the year, as it ranges from 29.6°C to 39.2°C. The minimum temperatures varied from 12.3°C to 27.1°C. April and May are the hottest months of the year with a mean maximum temperature of about 40° C recorded. January is the coldest month with mean minimum temperature of about 13º C. The area experiences high relative humidity. The average relative humidity varies from the lowest of 25% in February to the highest of 82% during August. The monthly average humidity is lowest in February (25%) and highest in August (82%). 3.9 Visibility Visibility at sea is good throughout the year, and fog is occasional. Reduction in visibility is mostly due to heavy rainfall during monsoon. Generally, visibility in the region is greater than 10km for an average of 310 days in a year. 3.10 Tide Levels The tide and storm surge value for the Dahej site. The tides at Dahej is semidiurnal.
