Filed under:

GAIL has conceptualised the following Pipeline Projects, most of which will form part of the National Gas Grid:

1. Dahej-Vijaipur (DVPL)

The DVPL pipeline will lift gas from R-LNG terminal at Dahej to Vijaipur. Its first section Dahej-Vemar is 82.5 km. The second section 527.5-km Vemar-Vijaipur will run parallel to the existing HVJ pipeline. This pipeline, which total section is 42″ in diameter and 610 km with 30-MMSCMD capacity, is likely to be completed by April 2004.

2. HVJ Expansion Phase-III

The 920-km HVJ Expansion Phase-III project extends to Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. This pipeline system with three new compressor stations and 12 terminals is proposed for countrywide transportation and distribution of R-LNG to the existing and future consumers.

The pipeline will be extended from Dadri to Sonipat, Panipat, Sangrur, Doraha (Ludhiana) to Nangal and Bhatinda in Punjab and Haryana sectors. The pipeline will also be extended from Vijaipur to Kota to Mathania and from Ibrahimpur to Dhaulpur in the Rajasthan sector and the HVJ Auraiya-Jagdishpur line will be extended to IFFCO Phulpur in the Uttar Pradesh sector.

3. Dahej - Hazira-Uran - Dabhol

The 1166-km Dahej-Hazira-Uran-Dabhol pipeline has a capacity of 24 MMSCMD, 12 MMSCMD from Dahej and 12 MMSCMD from Dabhol. The trunk pipeline route passes from Dahej to Hazira to Gavlpada to Bhoirpada to Chindhran to Panvel to Dahivli to Ambewadi to Dabhol. In addition, there are lines from Gavlpada to Nasik, Chindhran to Trombay, Sanpada & Thana, Panvel to Uran, Dahivili to Pune, Ambewadi to Usar and Dabhol to Kolhapur. The Hazira-Uran section will be implemented in Phase-I.

7. Kakinada-Chennai

The 580-km Kakinada-Chennai pipeline project passes from Peddapuram to Vijaywada to Machilipatnam to Guntur to Ongole to Nellore to Gammudipudi to Ponneri to Chennai. The pipeline capacity is 10 MMSCMD.

8. Kolkata - Jagdishpur

The 853-km Kolkata-Jagdishpur pipeline extends from Pandua, Katoya, Bardhman, Chittranjan, Giridih, Navada, Gaya, Daudnagar, Haziaribag, Buxar, Ballia to Jagdishpur. The pipeline capacity is 10 MMSCMD.

9. Kochi-Coimbatore-Bangalore

This pipeline project consists of 100 km offshore Kochi-Kayamkulam designed for a capacity of 1.4 MMSCMD and 860 km onshore portion designed for a capacity of 11 MMSCMD. The onshore portion of the pipeline passes from Kochi to Alwaye to Kanjirkod to Mangalore and Bangalore.

10. PY-1 to PPN Power Plant Project

The natural gas from PY-1 offshore field (HOEC) will be transported through offshore & onshore pipeline considering landfall point at Porto-nova to PPN Power Plant. The pipeline consists of 20 km offshore section and 70 km onshore section, with a capacity of 2.5 MMSCMD.

11. Myanmar-India Pipeline Project

This project planned to lay a pipeline from Myanmar-India Border at Tripura to Pandua-Krishnanagar in West-Bengal through Northeast states or to lay offshore pipeline directly from Myanmar to Haldia in West-Bengal, India. The approximate length of this pipeline for onshore alternative through the Northeast states is about 800 km and for direct offshore alternative route is about 550 km.

12. Pata Petrochemical Project

GAIL’s Petrochemical Complex at Pata in Auraiya District of Uttar Pradesh, with a production capacity of 260,000 TPA of Polyethylenes (LLDPE and HDPE) and 10,000 TPA of Butene-1, consists of a Gas Sweetening Unit, Gas Cracker and two downstream polyethylene plants: Dedicated HDPE plant of 100,000-TPA capacity licensed by Mitsui, Japan and LLDPE/HDPE (Swing plant) of 160,000 TPA capacity licensed by Nova Chemicals, Canada.

Project Expansion

The complex is being expanded in two stages. In the first stage the LLDPE/HDPE (Swing plant) is being de-bottlenecked to increase its capacity from 160,000 TPA to 210,000 TPA at a cost of Rs 76.27 crore. The project is expected to complete by April 2004. In the second stage, the ethylene capacity at the complex is being increased from 300,000 TPA to 440,000 TPA by increasing the number of cracker furnaces from four to five. Simultaneously, the polymer capacity is being increased by setting up a new LLDPE/HDPE (Swing Unit) of 120,000 TPA. The cost of the expansion project is Rs 647 crore. This project is scheduled for completion in the fiscal year 2006-2007.

GAIL-HPL Marketing Alliance

The GAIL-HPL marketing alliance signed in December 31, 2002 envisages synergy in marketing operations of the Petrochemical Products through: Long-Term Polypropylene Offtake Agreement which would enable GAIL to provide one-stop shopping to its Polymer customers, Product Swap Agreement which is expected to save logistic costs and improve the delivery mechanism with associated benefits, and the Memorandum of Understanding identifies potential areas of Cooperation: Grade Optimisation, Joint Procurement of Chemicals, Sale of Butene-1 by GAIL to HPL, IT and Knowledge sharing in the new Polymer Product development, Joint Venture in setting of Styrene Butadiene Rubber plant, sale of propylene, solvents, etc.
