[edit] History

[edit] Foundation

In August 1956, the Oil and Natural Gas Commission was formed. Raised from mere Directorate status to Commission, it had enhanced powers. In 1959, these powers were further enhanced by converting the commission into a statutory body by an act of [[Indian Parliament

[edit] 1960-1990

Since its foundation stone was laid, ONGC is transforming India’s view towards Oil and Natural Gas by emulating the country’s limited upstream capabilities into a large viable playing field. ONGC, since 1959, has made its presence noted in most parts of India and in overseas territories. ONGC found new resources in Assam and also established the new oil province in Cambay basin (Gujarat). In 1970 with the discovery of Bombay High (now known as Mumbai High), ONGC went offshore. With this discovery and subsequent discovery of huge oil fields in the Western offshore, a total of 5 billion tonnes of hydrocarbon present in the country was discovered. The most important contribution of ONGC, however, is its self-reliance and development of core competence in exploration and production activities at a globally competitive level.

[edit] Post-1990

ONGC's HAL Dhruv helicopter operating off the coast of Mumbai.

Post 1990, the liberalized economic policy was brought into effect, subsequently partial disinvestments of government equity in Public Sector Undertakings were sought. As a result, ONGC was re-organized as a limited company and after conversion of business of the erstwhile Oil & Natural Gas Commission to that of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd in 1993, 2 percent of shares through competitive bidding were disinvested. Further expansion of equity was done by 2 percent share offering to ONGC employees. Another big leap was taken in March 1999, when ONGC, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Gas Authority of India Ltd.(GAIL) agreed to have cross holding in each other’s stock. Consequently the Government sold off 10 per cent of its share holding in ONGC to IOC and 2.5 per cent to GAIL. With this, the Government holding in ONGC came down to 84.11 per cent. In 2002-03 ONGC took over Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) from Birla Group and announced its entrance into retailing business. ONGC also went to global fields through its subsidiary, ONGC Videsh Ltd. (OVL). ONGC has made major investments in Vietnam, Sakhalin and Sudan and earned its first hydrocarbon revenue from its investment in Vietnam.

In 2009, ONGC discovered a massive oil field, with up to 1 billion barrel reserves of heavy crude, in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Iran.[2] Additionally, ONGC also signed a deal with Iran to invest US$3 billion to extract 1.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas from the Farzad B gas field.[3]

[edit] International rankings

ONGC has been ranked at 198 by the Forbes Magazine in their Forbes Global 2000 list for the year 2007 [4].

ONGC has featured in the 2008 list of Fortune Global 500 companies at position 335, [5] a climb of 34 positions from rank of 369 in 2007.

ONGC is ranked as Asia’s best Oil & Gas company, as per a recent survey conducted by US-based magazine ‘Global Finance’

2nd biggest E&P company (and 1st in terms of profits), as per the Platts Energy Business Technology (EBT) Survey 2004

Business An energy self-sufficient India can alter the economic, political and manufacturing landscape of the region. Its quest for energy will create new economic and strategic challenges, right from mobilising capital to engaging in subtle diplomacy.

IndianOil’s own performance in the financial year 2006-07 was a case of 'exceeding expectations' with both turnover and profits reaching new highs, product sales registering a quantum jump, and the refineries as well as pipelines network enhancing their capacities beyond 60 MMTPA and registering record throughputs. New projects worth Rs. 10,000 crore were put on stream during the year. Among new businesses, the petrochemicals and natural gas verticals and participating interests in a clutch of oil & gas assets in India and abroad has ensured expansion of the upstream portfolio.

IndianOil has ambitious investment plans of Rs. 43,250 crore in the next five years. By 2011-12, the IndianOil Group, with 80 MMTPA refining capacity in its fold, would be playing a key role in realising India’s bid to emerge as an export-oriented hub for finished products. The pipelines network, which provides strategic logistics advantage to the marketing operations, is also set to cross the 10,000 km mark in the next two years.

In marketing, IndianOil is set to leverage the combined strength of over 32,000 marketing touch points, with focus on hitherto untapped rural markets, non-fuel revenues and pure retailing business. IndianOil aspires to be Asia’s leading commercial R&D organisation in the downstream hydrocarbon sector by building on its capabilities in developing innovative technologies, products and processes, and nodal research in alternative fuels.

Beyond core businesses, IndianOil is working to emerge as a major player in the petrochemicals business by the year 2011-12, with two petrochemical hubs shaping up at Panipat and Paradip. In natural gas business, it is attempting quantum growth in LNG imports, infrastructure and marketing, besides city gas distribution. In the high-risk business of oil exploration & production, IndianOil’s consortium approach with established players is paying off well in terms of exceptional Government support and successful forays in India and abroad. Its current interests are focussed on oil equity and sourcing of natural gas, predominantly from African and CIS countries, by leveraging its downstream capabilities to form joint venture partnerships with reputed enterprises overseas.

With India’s energy needs projected to grow by 40% in the next five years, the future is indeed full of promise for IndianOil; a future the 31,700 strong IndianOil team shall build as they fuel the dreams of over a billion of their countrymen.

Pipelines Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. operates a network of 10329 km long crude oil and petroleum product pipelines with a capacity of 71.60 million metric tonnes per annum. Cross-country pipelines are globally recognised as the safest, cost-effective, energy-efficient and environment-friendly mode for transportation of crude oil and petroleum products.

During the year 2008-09 IndianOil’s crude oil pipelines registered the throughput of 38.46 million metric tonnes. Corporation’s largest crude oil handling facility at Vadinar marked the berthing of 4000th tanker since inception. The terminal operates two offshore Single Point Mooring (SPM) systems, to feed Koyali, Mathura and Panipat refineries.

Raising efficiency and emerging as the least-cost supplier, IndianOil has added the 330-km Paradip-Haldia crude oil pipeline (PHCPL) to its bustling pipeline network during the year. The PHCPL system has a Single Point Mooring installed 20-km off the Paradip coast. With this, it is now able to pump crude oil from Very Large Crude Carriers to the tank-farm set up onshore and onward to Haldia through the pipeline. The Pipeline has replaced the earlier system of receipt of crude oil at Haldia port through smaller tankers.

On the west coast, the Mundra-Panipat pipeline is being further augmented to transport an additional 3 Million Metric Tonne Per Annum (MMTPA) of crude oil to Panipat Refinery, under expansion from 12 to 15 MMTPA. Additional requirement of crude oil for Koyali, Mathura and Panipat refineries is planned to be met by de-bottlenecking and augmenting Salaya-Mathura Pipeline system.

IndianOil’s product pipelines, connecting its refineries directly to high-consumption centres, achieved a throughput of 20.92 million tonnes during 2008-09. IndianOil has now joined the select group of companies in India which owns and operates LPG pipelines by building its first such cross-country facility linking Panipat with Jalandhar. Apart from providing better logistics, this pipeline can transport 700,000 tonnes of LPG from Kohand near Panipat refinery to IndianOil’s bottling plants at Jalandhar and Nabha in Punjab. The pipeline will also simultaneously to meet the requirement of LPG at Una and Baddi in Himachal Pradesh and at Jammu and Leh in J&K.

Research & Development Centre In today's dynamic business environment, innovation through a sustained process of Research & Development (R&D) is the only cutting edge tool for organisations to thrive. With emphasis on development and speedy commercialisation of globally competitive products, processes and technologies, the focus has now shifted from R&D to RD&D (Research, Development & Deployment).

INDMAX, a hallmark technology developed by the Centre for maximisation of LPG and light distillates from refinery residue, has been selected by IndianOil for setting up a 4 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) INDMAX unit as a part of the 15 MMTPA integrated refinery-cum-petrochemicals complex at Paradip, as well as at Bongaigaon Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd. (BRPL). The Centre has also licenced its Diesel Hydrotreating technology to these two refineries. These successes have catapulted IndianOil R&D into the elite league of multinational technology licensors.

Standing in the company of six worldwide technology holders for Marine Oils, with the second global OEM (original equipment manufacturer) approval by Wartsila, Switzerland, IndianOil's SERVO Marine Oils are now technically qualified to cater to the lubrication requirements of more than 90% of the world's marine engine population. In the power-generation segment, the newly developed SERVO Marine K-Series was approved by Yanmar Co. Ltd. of Japan for use in their engines operating on distillate fuels.

The R&D Centre continues to provide significant support to the IndianOil Group refineries in product quality improvement, evaluation of catalysts and additives, health assessment of catalysts, material failure analysis, troubleshooting and in improving overall efficiency of operations. In-house developed FCC models are not only being used in IndianOil refineries for process optimisation but a similar model has also been sold to a multinational company. IndianOil has formed a joint venture company, Indo Cat Pvt. Ltd., with Intercat, USA, for manufacturing 15,000

tonnes per annum of FCC (fluidised catalytic cracking) catalysts & additives in India, for catering to rising global demand.

As a step towards ensuring energy security for the nation, IndianOil has launched several initiatives to exploit alternative sources of energy such as Hydrogen and Bio-fuels. Subsequent to commissioning India's first experimental H-CNG (Hydrogen-Compressed Natural Gas) dispensing unit at the R&D Centre campus at Faridabad, demonstration projects are underway on use of H-CNG blends in heavy and light vehicles. IndianOil is also setting up India's first commercial H-CNG dispensing station at one of its retail outlets in Delhi in the year 2008 for fuelling experimental vehicles running on H-CNG blends as well as on pure Hydrogen. IndianOil R&D is also working on production, storage, transportation, distribution and commercialisation of Hydrogen as an alternative fuel.

In Bio-fuels, besides spearheading commercialisation of Ethanol-Blended Petrol in the country, IndianOil has been in the forefront of technology development for Bio-diesel production from various edible and non-edible oils and its application in vehicles. Pioneering studies by IndiaOil's R&D Centre established that Bio-diesel produced from Jatropha seeds were at par with that produced from vegetable oils. In the past few years, the R&D Centre has studied the entire value chain of Bio-diesel, starting from Jatropha plantation to field trials on passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and railway locos in collaboration with several vehicle manufacturers, railways and state transport undertakings.

IndianOil, along with its subsidiary IndianOil Technologies Ltd., has been engaged in successful marketing of in-house developed technologies, technical services and training not only in India but abroad too.

IndianOil has, till date, invested close to Rs. 1,000 crore in setting up world-class facilities at its R&D Centre for building world-class capabilities in analytical services, engines, test rigs and pilot plants for all major refinery

processes, catalyst characterisation & development, etc. It plans to invest about Rs. 500 crore during the period 2007-12 to maintain its leadership in downstream R&D activities in the hydrocarbon sector. While continuing with cutting edge R&D in the core areas of lubricants formulations, refinery process technologies and pipeline transportation, the thrust would now be on commercialising the developed technologies and initiating research in new frontier areas such as petrochemicals, residue gassification, coal-to-liquid, gas-to-liquid, alternative fuels, synthetic lubricants, nano-technology, etc. Through these R&D initiatives, IndianOil will continuously enhance value for all its stakeholders.

Lubricant Research

With over 3500 formulations of lubricating oil and greases, the SERVO product line developed by the R&D Centre enjoys the largest market share in India. While meeting the diverse needs of the Indian Industry as well as the Defence services, Railways, public utilities and transportation sectors, the R&D Centre developed and introduced many multigrade rail road oils and marine oils, making the Corporation the sixth global player and the sole Indian presence in the select league of marine oil technology developers the world over. SERVO Marine Oil series for DG sets has been approved by Wartsila of Finland and Switzerland for their entire series of Wartsila-Sulzur engines. Another accomplishment is the global approval from MAN B&W of Denmark for IndianOil's marine oils.

The refineries can claim the lion's share of HPCL's contribution in the field of energy conservation, environment and safety. For HPCL, success is never an end in itself and hence the refineries will go through further upgradation in future.

Refineries History Mumbai Refinery

Mumbai refinery has grown over the years as the main hub of petroleum products, particularly crude base oil. The refinery has reached its present form through several upgradation and restructuring processes. A chronological summary of the developments is provided below:

M/s Esso commissioned in 1954 with a crude processing capacity of 1.25

MMTPA. Lube refinery, Lube India Ltd, was commissioned in 1969 with a capacity of

165 TMTPA of Lube Oil Base Stock (LOBS) production. Crude processing capacity increased to 3.5 MMTPA during 1969 Government of India took over Esso and Lube India and formed HPCL in 1974. Kosan Gas Company, the concessionaries of HPCL in the domestic LPG

market, were taken over and merged with HPCL in 1979. Expansion of fuels block was carried out by installation of new 2 MMTPA

crude units in 1985. Also, a second expansion of Lube Refinery took place to increase the capacity of the refinery to 335 MMTPA, so far the largest in India.

The current Installed capacity of the refinery is estimated at 5.5 MMTPA

Visakh Refinery The Visakh Refinery is also an important contributor to HPCL's crude production. This refinery has been instrumental in supplementing the production of the Mumbai refinery to achieve some marketable amount of petroleum products in chosen foreign markets. The summary of development of the refinery is given below.

The first East Coast Oil refinery was commissioned as Caltex Oil Refining India Ltd. (CORIL) in 1957 with a crude processing capacity of 0.65 MMTPA.

The refinery was subsequently taken over by Government of India in 1976 and merged with HPCL in 1978.

The refinery's crude refining capacity increased to 4.5 MMTPA during the first expansion in 1985.

The refinery's crude refining capacity increased to a further 7.5 MMTPA during the second expansion in 1999.

Energy Conservation (ENCON) HPCL's refineries use energy in various forms viz., fuel, steam, electricity, etc. in different processing units to convert crude oil to usable petroleum products. Most of these refinery processes are energy intensive and use part of the finished products produced in the refinery to derive their energy requirement. Thus any reduction in consumption of

energy directly results in higher availability of finished products, which in turn results in higher profit. Hence, energy conservation has direct impact on refinery's profits. HPCL Refineries have accorded highest priority to energy conservation considering the above mentioned system of production. Both the refineries have dedicated Energy Conservation (ENCON) cell, consisting of Managers& Engineers to monitor ENCON measures on a daily basis. To use energy optimally has been a constant endeavor of the Corporation and several research and development initiatives have been undertaken to achieve the optimal level. As a 21st century energy corporation HPCL upholds the responsibility of leading the path of energy efficiency. The employees of the corporation across all ranks have been educated to this effect and the upcoming projects have all been tailored to be compatible with the corporation's energy efficiency standards. Various ENCON measures at HPCL Refineries:

1. Energy Conservation Measures implemented in the past include: Adoption of co-generation principle for generation of steam / power,

etc. which includes installation of FCCU CO - Boiler at Mumbai Refinery

Modernization of Fired Heaters Maximization of crude preheat by optimization of Heat Exchanger Train

using Pinch Technology Effective use of Waste Heat Modernization of Instrumentation and Advanced Control Strategies.

2. HPCL was one of the first oil companies in the country to initiate and implement full-fledged automation of its offsite facilities at both the Refineries. The facilities comprise of the following:

Automation of tank gauging & inventory management system Advanced on - line blend control Continuous on - line monitoring of quality of critical products / streams Accurate measurement and monitoring of custody transfer operations Continuous monitoring of critical off - site transfer pumps

The Off site Automation facilities have been designed by HPCL to reduce loss, enhance quality, optimize allocation of various refinery streams to produce the final blended product , improve overall yield of distillation as well as product accounting. The new projects have usually been implemented in multistage processes taking updates from every step to avoid any untoward loss of

efficiency in the overall performance.

As part of these projects, customized software packages have been widely used specially customized for use in refinery projects. The softwares have helped to decide optimal crude mix based on prevailing prices & demand of various products and optimize plant throughputs and product slate to get maximum outputs within the stipulated capacity.

The projects implemented in recent years for the maintenance of energy efficiency have been path breaking in the Indian perspective. HPCL has paved the way for efficient production methods in the Indian context to be followed by organizations for years to come.

3. A detailed Hydrocarbon loss study has been carried out by M/s British Petroleum for Mumbai Refinery and the various recommendations have been implemented.

4. A brief of the recently concluded equipment related energy conservation activities at both Refineries is given below:

Sonic Soot Blowers have been installed at boiler house for using the kinetic energy of sound waves to avoid soot deposition. This results in greater steam savings as compared to the conventional steam soot blower.

On - line oxygen analyzers on furnaces / boilers have been provided to control excess air in the refineries. These instruments measure the oxygen content of flue gas continuously. The checking of oxygen content in flue gas helps in improving the furnace efficiencies.

Ultrasonic Flare meters have been provided to measure the flow rates as well as molecular weights of different hydrocarbons going to the flare. This helps to identify the source, type and quantity of hydrocarbon going to flare.

Mass flow meters have been installed in various furnaces / heaters for monitoring individual furnace fuel consumption.

CCTV for round-the-clock viewing / controlling of flare stack has been installed in both refineries.

Electronic themoprobes have been installed for registering accurate tank temperature from time to time. The accurate measurement of temperature reduces the flaws in accounting due to faults in the reading of temperature which were earlier reflected in hydrocarbon loss.

A CO - Boiler is being installed as part of FCCU - I revamp under the second Expansion Project of Visakh Refinery. The CO - Boiler will recover heat from FCCU flue gas and the required amount of steam.

As a result of the above mentioned ENCON projects the Fuel & Loss for Visakh Refinery has reduced from 7.46 wt% in 1985-86 to 5.4 wt% during 1999-2000. Specific energy consumption has subsequently reduced from 242.4 MBTU/BBL/NRGF to 121.5 MBTU/BBL/NRGF during the same period. There has been significant improvement in Mumbai Refinery in the same line and currently the Fuel & Loss for Mumbai Refinery is restricted to 5.5 wt% (average given for the last few years) and specific energy consumption is held at a steady 125.5 MBTU/BBL/NRGF. These figures represent efficiency levels compatible with the international standard. As a direct undertaking of the govt. of India the two refineries are subject to central policies regarding petroleum products .Hence the drifting of energy intensive mode of operation to the efficient variety reflects the country's commitment to the global energy concerns. HPCL refineries have truly evolved as India’s modern hub for petroleum products.

[edit] History

The 1860s saw vast industrial development. A lot of petroleum refineries came up. An important player in the South Asian market then was the Burmah Oil Company Ltd. Though incorporated in Scotland in 1886, the company grew out of the enterprises of the Rangoon Oil Company, which had been formed in 1871 to refine crude oil produced from primitive hand dug wells in Upper Burma.

The search for oil in India began in 1886, when Mr. Goodenough of McKillop Stewart Company[1] drilled a well near Jaypore in upper Assam and struck oil. In 1889, the Assam Railway and Trading Company (ARTC)[2] struck oil at Digboi marking the beginning of oil production in India.

While discoveries were made and industries expanded, John D Rockefeller together with his business associates acquired control of numerous refineries and pipelines to later form the giant Standard Oil Trust. The largest rivals of Standard Oil - Royal Dutch, Shell, Rothschilds - came together to form a single organisation: Asiatic Petroleum Company to market petroleum products in South Asia.

In 1928, Asiatic Petroleum (India) joined hands with Burmah Oil Company - an active producer, refiner and distributor of petroleum products, particularly in Indian and Burmese markets. This alliance led to the formation of Burmah-Shell Oil Storage and Distributing Company of India Limited. A pioneer in more ways than one, Burmah Shell began its operations with import and marketing of Kerosene. This was imported in bulk and transported in 4 gallon and 1 gallon tins through rail, road and country craft all over India. With motor cars, came canned Petrol, followed by service stations. In the 1930s, retail sales points were built with driveways set back from the road; service stations began to appear and became accepted as a part of road development. After the war Burmah Shell established efficient and up-to-date service and filling stations to give the customers the highest possible standard of service facilities.

[edit] From Burmah Shell to Bharat Petroleum

On 24 January 1976, the Burmah Shell Group of Companies was taken over by the Government of India to form Bharat Refineries Limited. On 1 August 1977, it was renamed Bharat Petroleum

Major International Projects

The Maldives Case Study

The tropical paradise of the Maldives comprises 1,190 coral islands, forming an archipelago of 26 major atolls. Perfectly combining the sun, sand and sea, massive

lagoons, dazzling underwater coral gardens and a rich marine life, Maldives is the destination of choice for thousands of scuba divers and snorkeling enthusiasts. Even as tourists flock to its Robinson Crusoe islands, there is growing concern for the fragile environment of this pristine land.

The Republic of Maldives was also the destination of choice for UNIDO Austria, for the latter's program to propagate Renewable Energy Technologies in the Asian region. Following extensive research to identify islands for propagating solar power, Tata BP Solar proposed a complete package for a pilot project, on a supply and I&C basis. The pilot system includes 5KWp Solar Power System and 3kW Wind Generator.

Connecting people in Bhutan & Afghanistan

In the picturesque Kingdom of Bhutan, a quiet revolution is taking place... a telecom revolution linking remote and isolated hamlets together. Playing a significant role in this revolution is Tata BP Solar, which has been chosen to supply Solar Power Systems for the CORDECT Telecom network spread all over Bhutan. The CORDECT network includes VOIP, Switching System, Backbone Network and Subscriber Terminals. The 410 kiloWatt (kW) project was valued at approx 2.6 Million Euro.

A Project of Alcatel Contracting GmbH, Germany, funded by DANIDA, Denmark, the Solar Power Systems have been used by Bhutan Telecom - a long-standing, satisfied customer of Tata BP Solar. The order was won against stiff global competition.

After the Alcatel Order, Tata BP Solar was chosen to supply 55 nos. of Solar Power Systems for the WLL Telecom network being set up to connect remote areas of Afghanistan.

The landlocked mountainous country of Afghanistan is one of the world's least developed countries. The political and military unrest, the severe drought, the earthquakes have all aggravated the situation in this country. Rebuilding of telecommunication links is one of the priority areas of the international efforts to rebuild Afghanistan.

The order has been awarded by UNDP / UNOPS (United Nation Development Program / United Nations office for Project Services), a long-standing, satisfied customer of Tata BP Solar. A complete design for a trial lot of 55 stations was proposed by Tata BP on a supply basis only. UNDP technical staff would take care of the installation of these systems.

Bridging the digital divide in the Emerald Isle

Many rural schools in Sri Lanka have no access to grid power. As a result children in villages are deprived of IT education. The "SPACE (Solar Photovoltaic Aided Computer Education) Project" is in synergy with the policy of the Sri Lankan Government to empower rural schools with IT education.

Following detailed island-wide surveys over 18 months, jointly with government officials, a complete package of Solar PV System and the required IT Peripherals were offered by Tata BP Solar, along with Installation and commissioning support and a three year warranty.

The pilot project, covering 100 schools in all provinces of Sri Lanka would expose over 75,000 primary students and an equal number of senior citizens to computers.

The order was supplied in a record time of 10 weeks!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government-owned_corporation

Since 1889, a spark of enterprise has evolved

into a force in modern mining.

.... fuelling growth over a century.

The Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) is a Government coal mining company jointly owned by the Government of Andhra Pradesh and Government of India on a 51:49 equity basis. The Singareni coal reserves stretch across 350 Km of the Pranahita – Godavari Valley of Andhra Pradesh with a proven geological reserves aggregating to whopping 8791 million tonnes. SCCL is currently operating 13 opencast and 42 underground mines in 4 districts of Andhra Pradesh with a manpower around 78,000.

The Spirit of Singareni... One Family One Vision One Mission

While historically technology has been a critical factor in SCCL's ability to reduce environmental impacts and occupational hazards, the need to constantly increase productivity and cut costs has demanded that the company goes in for phased mechanization and adapts state-of-the-art technologies.

SCCL pioneered mechanization of coal mines in India by adopting coal drilling machines as far back as in 1937. In 1950 Shuttle Cars, Gathering Arm Loaders, Conveyors and Coal Plough Equipment were introduced. Later in a path breaking move to replace arduous manual labour, Road Headers, Load Haul Dumpers and Side Dump Loaders were gradually brought in.

Pioneer in technology upgradation

A combination of modern machines in Open Cast Mining like Walking Draglines, Shovels and High Capacity Dumpers were introduced in 1975. In-pit Crushing and Conveyor technology for Over Burden removal and coal extraction was commissioned for the first time in Ramagundam Open Cast Mine with German assistance in 1994.

In 2002, Surface Miner Technology which not only facilitates cost reduction but also contributes to eco friendly mining, was introduced for the first time. Longwall technology in Under Ground Mining in 1983 and also Blasting Gallery (BG) Technology in 1989 were other notable introductions. Today, with 4 Longwall Panels and 5 BG Panels working in the company, mechanization of Under Ground Mines is being planned with state-of-the-art technologies like Continuous Miner and Punch Longwall. Already the mechanization of Under Ground Mining has seen the commissioning of 104 Side Discharge Loaders and 37 Load Haul Dumpers that have enhanced safety and productivity during the last four years. Other innovations in Under Ground Mines are 35 man-riding systems (chairlift and railcar) that have improved transportation inside the mines.

From Heritage to Hi-tech:

In a state that is fast emerging as the IT hub of the country and hosts one of the Asia's largest Technology Parks, it was but natural that IT entered the realm of mining as well. And SCCL made a head start in harnessing the benefits of IT by developing proprietary software for integrated Open Cast and Under Ground Mine Management Systems.

From automating the Personnel Records to Material Management Systems, many new measures were initiated in the IT sphere to improve productivity. To stay in tune with the online world, and keep customers and other stakeholders informed about the developments in SCCL, the company launched its website www.scclmines.com.

Initiatives that have cemented SCCL's strength in IT are Video Conferencing, Integrated

Mine Management Applications and e-procurement. Digitization of mine plans by Minex Software was yet another major initiative. This software supports core areas of geological data management, opencast and underground mine design and scheduling.

Other IT initiatives that are on the anvil or are being implemented on an experimental basis include the use of Satellite based communication systems for monitoring Heavy Earth Moving Machinery using Global Positioning Systems and Biometric based Attendance Monitoring Systems. A dedicated cross-functional team forms the core of the Software Development Group to provide in-house software solutions and the company is all set to become an ERP based company in the coming years.

Responsible Mining. Planned Restoration:

We care

While the benefits of coal are countless, Coal Mining is an inherently environment damaging and degrading activity. Realizing this, SCCL has launched a number of 'eco-friendly practices' to mitigate the damage to environment and improve the quality of life. In all mining areas extensive green belts have been developed, and monitoring of air and water quality is done on a regular basis to assess the impact of mining on the environment and corrective steps are being implemented immediately. Opencast Mines are being restored to pre-mining conditions.

To encourage plantation and social forestry, free saplings are supplied to all the employees before the onset of monsoon. To reduce air pollution and also meet the social obligations of SCCL, the company supplies free LPG to its employees. SCCL is perhaps the only PSU to have introduced 'environment' as part of the curriculum in all its schools. In another innovative move, company has also introduced Eco Samman Awards to motivate employees who contribute to all round improvement of the environment.

A number of other key initiatives taken in the last four years include setting up of Sewage Treatment Plants, Effluent Treatment Plants, Bio-engineering of Over Burdens, Clonal Plantations, Medicinal Plantations and development of Eco-parks for which the company was conferred the Golden Peacock Award from the Institute of Directors in 2005 and became the first Coal Company in the country to bag this prestigious honour. The company also bagged the "National Fly Ash Utilization Award” in 2005 for its unique contributions towards Fly Ash Utilization. SCCL has for the first time also brought out a book titled "Eco-friendly Coal Mining - The Singareni Approach" highlighting the various innovative practices initiated at SCCL for environmentally sustainable coal mining.

SCCL’s HR Planning initiatives:

The Company's HR Planning Initiative, with an annual spend of over Rs. 14 Crores, aims at Training and Development of all its human assets. With a well established HR Department and 10 Vocational Training Centers and the Nargundkar Institute of Management at Ramagundam (a full fledged training institute), imparting of in-house training and skill upgradation is a constant activity at SCCL.

Role of SCCL in Corporate Social Responsibility:

Community Development activities got an impetus when a social service organization - Singareni Seva Samithi (SSS) was formed by SCCL under the AP Public Societies Act. Training of unemployed youth and educating the families of workmen on the need to channelise their energies towards constructive activities is the basic purpose and philosophy of the Samithi. Towards this noble goal the SSS provides training in skill development to

youth for recruitment in the Army, the Police and the Railways. The samithi also works innovatively on spreading awareness of AIDS, alcoholism and the benefits of thrift and small savings.

In collaboration with the workmen and the Trade Unions, SSS has started extending its activities to the surrounding villages of the Coal Mining areas, and has been contributing to the development of these villages. Realizing what self employment does to empower dependent women, SCCL has not only been helping them acquire skills in applied crafts but also in facilitating them to set up their own enterprises. SSS has also been working towards making every workers' spouse literate.

The Samithi's singular and dedicated efforts have yielded exemplary results

442 Singareni Employees' children being recruited for the Army, Police and Para Military Forces.

Around 34,000 illiterate workmen have been made literate.

More than 4,400 youth have been imparted Vocational Training.

Over 45, 000 people living in surrounding villages have benefited from the social service activities.

Around 1,043 beneficiaries have become entrepreneurs and have started earning on their own.

LIGNITE DEPOSIT IN NEYVELI:

Lignite is the younger offspring of the coal family. It is a fossil fuel belonging to the Miocene age (25 million years). Popularly known as “Brown Coal”, lignite is tan brown in colour, light to handle and brittle in nature. This fuel is born from vegetable matter having undergone bio-chemical decay to the stage of peat (rotten wood) and then metamorphosed to lignite under the pressure of the soil above through floods, movements of the earth’s crust and dehydration when the pressure of the lignite, particularly the horizontal thrust is further increased, lignite is made more dense, less volumetric and becomes coal as such.

The lignite mined at Neyveli varies in colour from brown to dark brown and has a non-bonded granular structure. Microscopic studies of this sections prepared from bulk samples of lignite indicate that the fuel is composed of a wide variety of plant ingradients, mainly of coniferous nature.

Quality of Lignite:Lignite contains 65-70% of carbon, 20-25% of oxygen, about 5% of hydrogen and small amounts of nitrogen and sulphur. The average calorific value of lignite is 2400 K.cal/Kg. It cannot be compared favourably with the high calorific value of pure coal. Yet lignite has an advantage of being free burning

(non coking), of having low ash and of giving rapid and complete combustion. Since the volatile matter is usually high, lignite burns readily. Air dried lignite is quite suitable for direct burning. For high capacity boilers lignite can be burnt in the pulverized form.

Characteristics of Overburden and lignite

Overburden (Sandstone) Lignite

Specific gravity 2.5 Bulk Density 1.15 T/Cu.m

Bulk Density 2.1 gm/cc Fixed Carbon 20%

Porosity 27% Ash content 3.0%

Normal moisture content 7% Moisture 53%

Main Mineral Constituent Quartz 38% Feldspar 5.5% Volatile matter 24%

Cementing media Clay 55% Calorific value 2400 K.cal/kg

Cutting resistance compressive 20 to 60 Kg/cm Grindability Index 108 to 127

Strength 25 to 75 Kg/sq.cm

Some of the unique characteristic features of the Neyveli Lignite Mine are:Occurrent of Ground water Aquifer below lignite bed: Huge reservoir of ground water occurs below the entire lignite bed, exerting an upward pressure of 6 to 8 kg/cm2. Unless this water pressure is reduced before mining, it will burst the lignite seam and flood the Mines. The problem is solved by selective bore wells formation and pumping to depressurise the water pressure to the safe mining condition. The water is being used for the TPS water requirement. The water level is continuously monitored through observation wells for proper ground water management.

Hard overburden strata: The highly consolidated strata consists mainly of Cuddalore strand stone which is hard and abrasive in nature. The Bucket wheel used for handling large volume of overburdens faced problems due to the hard strata and uses overcome by carrying out suitable modification in the bucket wheel teeth and by instituting a systematic drilling and shatter blasting programme.

MINE – I

Demarcated over an area of 26.69 sq.kms. with a reserve of 365 million tones. Mine-I is situated on the northern part of the field adjacent to the Neyveli Township. This mine has a production capacity of 10.5 million tones of lignite per annum and feeds lignite to the 600 MW capacity of First Thermal Power

Station and 420MW Thermal Power Station – I Expansion.

The lignite seam was first exposed in August 1961 and regular mining of lignite commenced in May 1962. German Excavation technology in opencast mining, using Bucket Wheel Excavators, Conveyors and Spreaders is used in this Mine for the first time in India. While overburden thickness varies from 50-95 metres, lignite thickness varies from 10 to 23 metres. The overburden to lignite ratio in this mine is 5.5 to 5 c.metre to one time (about 11 times of overburden is to be removed for mining one tonne of lignite).

Storm Water Management: Neyveli mines are located in predominantly monsoonic and cyclonic area where the average rainfall in a year is about 1200 mm and the wind velocity goes up to 160 km per hour Heavy rain flood the open pit bottoms and these difficulties are met by evacuating the flood water through float pump mounted on floating pontoons. Intermediate booster stations pump out the storm water to the surface level.
