Make oil industry subsidy–free for sustained growth: UIDI Chairman

The thematic session Future Energy: Building a New Road Map of Petrotech 2012 was held today here at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi. The thematic session, focusing on the issue of the future of energy, was received well and attended by a large number of delegates from India and abroad.

The Second Theme Session at PETROTECH 2012 was graced by Nandan Nilekani, Chairman, Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDI) besides being participated by other industry luminaries.

Speaking on the occasion he stressed on the issues relating to the future of energy and energy subsidy in the country. Talking about the efficient and transparent management and disbursement of subsidy Mr. Nilekani said, 'the work of Unique Identification Project in the country will have a wide ranging impact including determining energy subsidy for its

citizens.' He further added that an energy subsidy system needs to be formed so that the deserving consumers benefit from it. Mr. Nilekani emphasized that oil industry needs to be made subsidy free for sustained economic growth. Since, subsidy matrix is becoming complex; the UID project could lay the foundation for a subsidy–free environment in the country.

Clarence. P. Cazalot, Chairman, Marathon Oil Corp. USA, while elaborating on building a new road map for future energy urged the industry to identify challenges ahead. A smart successful energy supply demands diversity of supply, efficient use, focus on conservation and complete examination of technologies role.

Speaking on the theme David S. Reed, Senior Energy Advisor, Exxon Mobil Corporation struck a similar sentiment. He said that India's energy demand will quadruple between 2010-2040.


In his speech S. K. Srivastava, CMD, Oil India Ltd. said that the India's road map has to include massive research and design, emission reduction and huge incentives to explore resources of energy.

the world. He hoped that Petrotech 2012 provides a unique opportunity to exchange ideas that will lead to cleaner, greener and a safer planet.

Speaking about holistic solutions to the growing concern about environment and energy security in the country, the Hon'ble Minister stressed that we need to take initiatives to maximize the longevity of our existing assets and India has to realize its energy potential completely. He also emphasized that hydrocarbon sector in India offers great opportunities for both Indian and International companies driven by factors such as under-explored sedimentary basins, unconventional hydrocarbon sources.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Kiraitu Murungi, Minister for Energy, Kenya said 'Africa is abundant with Natural Resources and Kenya would to like to work in close association with India to tap and explore its natural reserves.' He stressed that Petrotech 2012 provides a unique platform to countries and investors from the oil sector, forging economic and business ties with India to develop newer technology and friendly environment for investment, exploration, innovation and partnerships.

T K Ananth Kumar, Director (Finance) standing tall with the investments of the company around the globe.

Legend has it that an elephant hauling logs from the forest returned with distinct traces of oil on its feet and trail. The excited owners of the elephant followed its footprints and found seepage of oil bubbling to the surface. 'Dig, boy, dig!', probably this is what the Englishman cried out to his men, hence the name Digboi. From that day, this tiny habitat, among the rolling hills of Assam found a place in the map of the world's petroleum industry.

Buyer-seller meet @ Petrotech-2012

Buyer-seller meet an essential & important part of Petrotech since its inception was formally inaugurated by Mr. Sudheer Bhargawa, joint secretary, ministry of Oil & Natural Gas, today evening. The event was kicked off in traditional manner by lightening the lamp by Mr. Bhargawa, B. Prasad Rao (Chairman & MD -BHEL), Mr. Butola (chairman, IOCL), Mr. V S Okhde (Director, Pipelines-IOCL).

Mr. Maine in his welcome note mentioned that global oil industry is at the crossroad. And in such a scenario, the role of such events becomes even more critical in terms of their responsibility to come up with new innovative ideas, the innovations. It seeks various players from different fields to come together for the same.

Addressing the gathering of buyers and sellers Mr. Butola said that as the concept of Petrotech goes in my mind- is that, it is an event which provides a platform to exchange the ideas, dialogues, share innovation, views etc. and that is done wonderfully well by bringing the buyer and seller together which get to exchange their

ideas, views, and share their needs and expectations. This buying and selling can be in various forms, not necessarily in the form of a product but also in the form of innovative ideas, services etc. and it all should be done through a cooperative dialogue. He also, in details, illustrated on the concept of resourcenalization. He also focuses on the issue of the oil nationalization which hampers the latest technolog ica l innovat ion f rom b ig ges t manufacturers of oil & Gas. This will also hamper the efficient use of available resources.

In the later part of the event, Mr. B. Prasad Rao, established a correlation between energy and GDP, he said that as much we grow in terms of GDP correlatively we will also consume the energy. So, he focuses on the effective use of available recourses because India imports 75-80% of oil consumed. Even in vision 2020 it has been forecasted that we will have to import 45-50% of the consumption. He further added that we (BHEL) are here both as buyer as well as sellers. He further emphasizes on

the joint ventures, adding that we are also working on a JV with IOCL along with IIT-Rajsthan.

In his inaugural address mr. Sudheer Bhargawa said that we in india, need to agrresively promote the exploration as well as the exploitation of Oil & Gas. But meanwhile we also need to focus on the reliability, low cost of maintainace cost effectiveness. In this oil & Gas industry quick industry response is very critical. We need to promote both downstream as well as downstream products.

Vote of thanks was extended by V. S. Okhde.

Quiz programs are also being organized by different companies and they are giving away different prizes too. Various cultural events are also organized throughout the day for the entertainment of the visitors and delegates.

Corrigendum

Vide our showdaily issue 2, released on 16th October, it is to inform that by mistake Mr. Butola was being printed as Ms. Butola, Mr Okhde was being printed as Mr. Dhogade for which we duly seek the apology.

Ank Seals - The red ball forceIn our pursuit to interact with emerging global and Indian oil-sector companies, we reached on the stall of Minar-Hydro and Hi-Force. Minar Hydro is a Canadian firm, which is marketed in India by Ank Seals Pvt. Ltd. , whereas Hi-Force is a UK based firm. Ank Seals is showcasing its ambitious red ball (which the company also terms as smart-ball) which ensures leakage-free flow of oil.

Speaking to us, one of the company's representatives informed us that Red-ball is only of its kind which excels in the accuracy. It flows along with the products and in the course, it records the sounds as well. When the flow of the oil is leakage free the ball records normal sound but in any case of even pin-hole leakage, due to pressure difference, it tends to record different sounds. The smart ball also records the distance covered along with the frequency.

The company officials also told that the other products available in the market, to diagnose the leakage, are capable of only doing conditioned monitoring whereas Red-ball is based on the concept of innovative pin-hole technology. It also tracks the illegal taping, which is one of the concurrent problems in Indian situations.

Hi-force is a UK based brand with global presence, which produces High Pressure Hydraulic tools. The products, the officials claim, are far superior to the other available products in the market, as they are solely produced in UK and high in their quality. Hi-Force provides on-spot services as well as sells the products to its customers.

NELP to be revamped

New Exploration and Licensing Policy (NELP) is getting a new shape before another round scheduled to be launched at the end of the year oil minister S Jaipal Reddy has said. He also told that gpovernment is keen to enhance the policy as there was a lack of interst shown by the investors in the current NELP, particularly by global explorers. A committee headed by C Rangarajan, chief economic advisor to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, is expected to present a report on improving the mechanism soon, Reddy said. The policy will be more investor friendly he told. The Rangarajan panel is expected to submit its recommendations to the government by 31st October.



IOCL the flagship corporate of the Indian Nation

Indian Oil Corporation came into existence in 1964 after the merger of Indian Refineries Limited (1958) and Indian Oil Company (1959). So far it has merged Assam Oil Company (1981), IOBL (2006), IBP Co. Ltd. (2007), and BRPL (2009).

Indian Oil Corporation Limited is an integrated company which markets the oil products through huge network of COCO (Company Owned & Company Operated) and privately owned retail outlets. And it's the no. 1 integrated Refining and marketing company in PSU domain. In fact, it is the only Indian company to have oil blocks here in India but overseas as well. Itl is not only the largest commercial enterprise in the country but is the flagship corporate of the Indian Nation. Besides having a dominant market share, Indian Oil is widely recognized as India's dominant energy brand and customers perceive Indian Oil as a reliable symbol for high quality products and services.

Benchmarking Quality, Quantity and Service to world-class standards is a philosophy that Indian Oil adheres to so as to ensure that customers get a truly global experience in India. Company emphasizes on providing fuel management solutions to customers who can then benefit from its expertise in efficient sourcing and least cost supplies keeping in mind their usage patterns and inventory management.

Indian Oil is a heritage and iconic brand at one level and a contemporary, global brand at another level. While quality, reliability and service remains the core benefits to the customers, the stringent checks are built into operating systems, at every level ensuring the trust of over a billion Indians over the last four decades.

Retail Brand templates of XtraCare(Urban), Swagat (Highway) and Kisan Seva Kendras (Rural) are widely recognized as pioneering brands in the petroleum retail segment. Indian Oil's leadership extends to its energy brands - Indane LPG, SERVO Lubricants, Autogas LPG, XtraPremium Branded Petrol, XtraMile Branded Diesel, XtraPower Fleet Card, IndianOil Aviation and XtraRewards cash customer loyalty programme.IOCL has following other prevailing products of in its fold: Indane gas, Auto Gas, Natural Gas, Petrol/gasoline, Diesel/Gas oil, ATF/Jet Fuel, Servo Lubricants & greases, marine fuels & Lubricants, kerosene, Bulk/Industrial fuel, Bitumen, petrochemicals, special products such as- raw petroleum coke, paraffin wax etc. and crude oil.

IOCL understands its role of being the largest PSU in terms of the revenue generation. In Forbes 500 list IOCL stands at 83rd position. Understanding the role of its own IOCL plans to bring out following upcoming technologies:

Biotechnology, Alternative technology- biofules, hydrogen-CNG, CTL/gasification, shale oil/solar energy, Nano technology etc.

In terms of matured technologies it boasts of Applied M e t a l l u r g y, r e f i n i n g t e c h n o l o g y - F C C / Hydroprocessing, pipelines (IPIG), Lubricant technology, technical services, and Fuel additives.

Not only that, IOCL has also started to implement latest technologies to exploit the utmost out of crude oils. After the crude oil is refined into the refineries, it produces both upstream and downstream products. The Naphtha, one of the downstream products is crushed into ethylene which is used to produce plastic products, in fact, IOC supplies these raw material to various companies which utilize it to produce house ware article & furniture etc. The company also plans to start butadiene production from its polymerization unit, which scheduled to commence in 2013. After the Paradip refinery gets functional the refining capacity of the company will go up from 265 MT to 280 MT. As of now, IOC produces 6.0 Lacs Tons of polypropylene and 6.5 Lacs Tons of Polyethylic, so, in this way, in totality the company produces total of 12.5 lacs tons of ployoliphyn products, which is likely to go up in coming years.

Company has also ventured into non-tradition sources of energy. It has been working consistently on biofuels through jatroffa plants. It encourages the famers for the jatroffa farming as well as it has also acquired land along its rail network to produces jatroffa by itself, so that biofuel production could be increased to an extent. The company is very much in wind and solar energy as well.

Training in Real‐time Technologies for On‐time Drilling Operations Real-time data has been the very foundation of distributed decision-making through the decades. Because drilling a well involves multi-disciplinary teams, the timely flow of information to various experts is an absolute prerequisite for an efficient operation. There was a time not so long ago when phone and fax were the only way to keep everybody on the same page, operationally. Today we work with fewer people, dealing with ever more complex drilling environments, relying on easy access to real time data as the primary source of well information. While real-time data enables us to take real-time decisions; careful planning of people and processes involved is needed for effective decision-making.

Advanced automation and data processing are well established in some areas of oil and gas but the Digital Oilfield is about integrating this technology to maximise business value. It is a major enabler for delivering efficiency, improved safety, remote operations and business value.

Digital Oilfield Training Services (DOTS) is a training partnership between Geologix and Digital Oilfield Solutions, delivering training in data standards and the wider application of Digital Oilfield technology. DOTS combines the experience of a product company, offering innovative geological applications, and a highly respected consultancy company with senior oil and gas industry professionals. Both companies are members of Energistics, the leading oil and gas data standards organisation, and have contributed significantly to the development and deployment of the standards globally. The Courses are delivered by Samit Sengupta, Managing Director of Geologix, who has over 30 years' experience in the upstream oil and gas industry, and Dr Julian Pickering of Digital Oilfield Services, who previously headed up BP's Field of the Future programme.

The combination of experienced development and operational knowledge has created a unique training opportunity. DOTS understands how to maximise business value from the Digital Oilfield and how to use data standards to deliver operational efficiency. The courses can be run anywhere in the world, and can be tailored to individual or group requirements, and will give delegates a fundamental understanding of Digital Oilfield technology and how to use it effectively.

The course is designed for geologists, geoscientists and engineers as well as IS/IT specialists involved with drilling operations. It is designed to demystify Information Technology jargons and scope out the best practices involved with leveraging such technology in drilling operations.

Optimised for SIL applications:R. STAHL introduces new generation of fast transmitter supply units

Waldenburg – Transmitter supply units type 9160 from R. STAHL's ISpac product line are now available as completely revised versions. Featuring many new and optimised functions, the units are now suitable for an extended application range. In addition to a new model with an intrinsically safe interface for standard voltage signals, a SIL 3 version for functional safety applications according to IEC EN 61508 has been added. Users can design the sensor part of a safety function as a single-channel version according to SIL 3, or, in two-channel set-ups, extend the required test cycles. On top of that, a range of features has been optimised in all units from the 9160 and 9163 series. These include reduced power consumption, reduced attenuation during transmission of HART signals, consistently improved results for SIL applications allowing for more flexible planning, and a reduced signal delay, i.e. a faster reaction of the output signal to changes at the input. Transmitter supply units type 9160 are available as one and two-channel versions, enabling space-saving installation in the cabinet. In addition to the connection of two-wire transmitters, the units also allow for the operation of three-wire-versions and the transmission of signals from four-wire-transmitters. HART signals are transmitted bidirectionally.

Like all Ex i isolators from the ISpac product range, the units can be easily installed both on DIN rails and via the pac-Bus system. By means of the pac-Bus system, which can be installed without any tools, all units are immediately supplied with power, and the line fault message is read out as a common error message. Moreover, the new transmitter supply units can also be installed in a pac carrier, a backplane solution that considerably facilitates the connection to DCS systems. Both functionally and concerning safety data, the new generation units are fully compatible with the versions available up to now, allowing for smooth changeovers and requiring no changes to circuit diagrams or intrinsic safety certificates.
