ABSTRACT
Indian Oil Corporation Limited, with a yearly turnover of about 3 Lac Crores is the biggest Company in India in terms of sales. It has once again topped the Indian Companies in the Fortune 500 list of Companies with a rank of 98. In such a large sized corporation the common problem is the supply chain management. In this fluctuating Gas Market it is very difficult to maintain the price of LPG cylinder and hence the Profits. Moreover the Private Companies are entering the Oil & Gas Industry which has provided a tough competition for IOCL. In this study all over India (every region) are analyzed and provided a suitable pipeline grid for LPG for the smooth transportation of it. All the Regions have been analyzed in details and a few probable solutions to the existing problems has been formulated i.e. pipeline grid.

OIL INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Background


After the Indian Independence, the Oil Industry in India was a very small one in size and Oil was produced mainly from Assam and the total amount of Oil production was not more than 250,000 tones per year.

This small amount of production made the oil experts from different countries predict the future of the oil industry as a dull one and also doubted India's ability to search for new oil reserves. But the Government of India declared the Oil industry in India as the core sector industry under the Industrial Policy Resolution bill in the year 1954, which helped the Oil Industry in India vastly.

Oil exploration and production in India is done by companies like NOC or National Oil Corporation, ONGC or Oil and Natural Gas Corporation and OIL who are actually the oil companies in India that are owned by the government under the Industrial Policy Rule. The National Oil Corporation during the 1970s used to produce and supply more than 70 percent of the domestic need for the petroleum but by the end of this amount dropped to near about 35 percent. This was because the demand on the one hand was increasing at a good rate and the production was declining in a steady rate. Oil Industry in India during the year 2004-2005 fulfilled most of demand through importing oil from multiple oil producing countries. The Oil Industry in India itself produced nearly 35 million metric tons of Oil from the year 2001 to 2005. The Import that is done by the Oil Industry in India comes mostly from the Middle East Asia.

The Oil that is produced by the Oil Industry in India provides more than 35 percent of the energy that is primarily consumed by the people of India. This amount is expected to grow further with both economic and overall growth in terms of production as well as percentage. The demand for oil is predicted to go higher and higher with every passing decade and is expected to reach an amount of nearly 250 million metric ton by the year 2024.

Oil Industry Dynamics in India


At present, there are four PSUs namely, IOC, HPC, BPC and IBP (subsidiary of IOC) marketing oil products in the country. In addition, certain private players like Reliance, Essar and Shell have also in marketing rights for transportation fuels. Their marketing presence today, however, is not significant and is limited to about 1370 outlets out of total retail outlet strength of about 29,380 . Some additional players like ONGC, who have also been granted marketing rights for transportation fuels, are in the process of setting up retail outlets to integrate across the entire hydrocarbon value chain. The company wise market share in sales is tabled below: It is evident that the share of the private sector in meeting total consumption of refined petroleum products presently stands at around 15%. This proportion is however, expected to grow significantly in the coming years.

STRENGTH

SWOT OF THE COMPANY


R&D

WEAKNESS

Controls 10 refineries Acquired equity stakes in CPCL & BRPL, & in 2001, became subsidiaries of IOC.

Major weakness for the company is the

Petrochemical product development technology

58% of IOCs refining capacity is located in the Northern and Western regions

Technological drawback, as compared to some major foreign player

Very strong distribution network Acquired management control of the marketing company IBP Extensive joint venture agreements Already entered overseas markets such as Sri Lanka, Maldives, and Oman.

OPPERTUNITY Easily go for extension at any point of time, and can introduce any new products. Make the buying process more easy for the customers. Think over the issue to build its own pipelines Great scope in E&P

THREAT Foreign players with more advanced technology. Crude oil supply - cannot fix its price , In future the market will welcome more private players If the Govt. Policies allow the private players to set their own price, the pvt. Player can seriously harm IOCL share.

BUSINESS OF IOCL
REFINING: Born from the vision of achieving self-reliance in oil refining and marketing for the nation, Indian Oil has gathered a luminous legacy of more than 100 years of accumulated experiences in all areas of petroleum refining by taking into its fold, the Digboi Refinery commissioned in 1901. Indian Oil controls 10 of Indias 20 refineries. The group refining capacity is 60.2 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) or 1.2 million barrels per day -the largest share among refining companies in India. It accounts for 33.8% share of national refining capacity. The strength of Indian Oil springs from its experience of operating the largest number of refineries in India and adapting to a variety of refining processes along the way. The basket of technologies, which are in operation in Indian Oil refineries include: Atmospheric/Vacuum Distillation; Distillate FCC/Reside FCC; Hydro cracking; Catalytic Reforming, Hydrogen Generation; Delayed Coking; Lube Processing Units; Visbreaking; Merox Treatment; HydroDesulphurization of Kerosene & Gasoil streams; Sulphur recovery; Dewaxing, Wax Hydro finishing; Coke Calcining, etc. The Corporation has commissioned several grassroots refineries and modern process units. Procedures for commissioning and start-up of individual units and the refinery have been well laid out and enshrined in various customized operating manuals, which are continually updated. Indian Oil refineries have an ambitious growth plan with an outlay of about Rs. 55,000 crore for capacity augmentation, de-bottlenecking, bottom up gradation and quality up gradation. Major projects under implementation include a 15 MMTPA grassroots refinery at

28

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Paradip, Orissa, Naphtha Cracker and Polymer Complex at Panipat, Panipat Refinery expansion from 12 MMTPA to 15 MMTPA, among others. In addition, petrol quality up gradation projects are under implementation at Panipat, Mathura, Barauni, Guwahati and Digboi refineries proposed to be completed by the end of 2009. On the environment front, all Indian Oil refineries fully comply with the statutory requirements. Several Clean Development Mechanism projects have also been initiated. To address concerns on safety at the work place, a number of steps were taken during the year, resulting in reduction of the frequency of accidents. Innovative strategies and knowledge-sharing are the tools available for converting challenges into opportunities for sustained organizational growth. With strategies and plans for several value-added projects in place, Indian Oil refineries will continue to play a leading role in the downstream hydrocarbon sector for meeting the rising energy needs of our country.

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 recognized as the safest, cost-effective, energy-efficient and environment- friendly mode for transportation of crude oil and petroleum products.

30

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

During the year 2008-09 Indian Oils crude oil pipelines registered the throughput of 38.46 million metric tonnes. Corporations 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, Indian Oil 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. Indian Oils product pipelines, connecting its refineries directly to high-consumption centers, achieved a throughput of 20.92 million tonnes during 2008-09. Indian Oil 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 Indian Oils 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.

Two pipelines linking the major airports of India have been commissioned during the year to transport Aviation Turbine Fuel to these airports. The 36 km long pipeline from existing Devangonthi terminal to New Bengaluru International Airport, Devanhalli, Bengaluru was commissioned in October 2008. The 95 km long ATF pipeline from CPCL to Chennai AFS was commissioned in December 2008. In its continuous efforts of expanding the network Indian Oil is implementing 290 km long product pipeline from Chennai to Bengaluru to facilitate cost effective positioning of products at consumption centre located in and around Bengaluru and to strengthen product positioning capabilities of CPCL Refinery. Indian Oil is also implementing a 217 km Long Branch pipeline from Koyali-Sanganer Pipeline at Viramgam to existing scrapper station at Churwa along with use of a 14 km long existing pipeline from Churwa to Kandla. One of the major product pipelines currently under execution is 290 km long ChennaiBengaluru Pipeline. A 21-km spur line from Mathura to Bharatpur and a 94-km branch line to Hazira on the Koyali-Dahej pipeline are also under implementation. A grassroots terminal facility is being set up at Ratlam to feed the local markets. A 118-km pipeline is being laid from Bijwasan to Panipat for transporting Naphtha from Mathura Refinery to the upcoming Naphtha Cracker unit at Panipat. Indian Oil sees gas pipelines as a major growth area in the future. The gas market in India is expanding fast, thanks to enhanced availability of the product from indigenous sources and through imports. The Corporation will commission its first regassified LNG pipeline from Dadri to Panipat (132 km) to synchronize with the completion of the first phase of the power plant coming up under the Naphtha Cracker project at Panipat.

INTRODUCTION TO FOSSIL FUELS


When the remnants of trees and animals get buried in the earths crust they are subjected to high pressure and temperature for a prolonged period of time and get converted to a fuel which is rich in carbon and hydrogen content. This is called as fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are naturally found in the earths crust and are not unlimited. Crude oil, the most common fossil fuel, is processed to remove impurities to produce fuels of different carbon content. As the carbon and hydrogen contents vary in the fuel the calorific value, i.e. the energy the fuel produces, of the fuel varies. A COMPARISION OF CALORIFIC VALUE OF FOSSIL FUELS:

LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS (LPG)


Liquefied petroleum gas is one of the most common and an alternative fuels used in the world today. Liquefied petroleum gas is also called as LPG, LP Gas, or Auto gas. The gas is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases used as a fuel for various purposes. This is mainly used in heating appliances and vehicles and is replacing chlorofluorocarbons as an aerosol propellant. It is also used as a refrigerant mainly to reduce damage to the ozone layer. The main reason behind this being the soaring in the prices of the oil, LPG has emerged as much preferred choice. LPG is a fossil fuel and can be refined from oil and natural gas. LPG is basically a hydrocarbon with propane and butane as main constituent. LPG is a byproduct of natural gas processing. It is the product that comes from crude oil refining when carried with the smaller amounts of propylene and butylenes. LPG is largely propane and thus the characteristics of propane are sometimes taken as a close approximation to those of LPG. LPG or Liquefied Petroleum Gas has become the most preferred fuel when it comes to domestic and certain industrial uses.
LPG is used for: Cooking Domestic and Industrial Heating Automotive Fuel Propellant for aerosols Feedstock for production of petrochemicals

Properties of LPG: Flammable Volatile Vaporizes readily Liquid forms lots of vapor one volume forms 250 volumes of vapor Liquid expands with temperature Vapor heavier than air : 1.5-2 times Colorless and odorless (unless odorized) Not much heat needed to vaporize No lubricating qualities Liquid is light weight: half as that of water Can cause asphyxiation

There are many advantages which can be associated with LPG:


1) The most important advantage of using LPG is its effect on the environment. It is certainly a more environment friendly way and this is also another reason why many Asian Countries are also switching to LPG run cars and other vehicles. 2) LPG offers clean burning and this is also another reason why it is not very detrimental to the atmosphere in comparison to other fuels. 3) LPG equipments and burners do not demand a high maintenance because the burners have a longer life due to no soot deposits. 4) LPG is also considered highly efficient in comparison to many other fuels. It is good to be used in direct firing system. 5) LPG provides instant heat and is ideal when you require faster warm up or cooling down in any process. 6) With usage of LPG, corrosion effects are also reduced to a great extent.

7) Using LPG also avoids the parts of the equipments to get decarburized. At the same time, it also avoids scaling to a large extent. 8) The flame temperature resultant from LPG is instantly controllable and this is what is required when it comes to domestic uses of LPG. 9) LPG is indeed a greener and cleaner fuel since it has a low carbon content. Like LPG, CNG is also a clean gaseous fuel which gives a tough competition to LPG. So we compare the properties of both to find out the better of the two.

A COMPARISION BETWEEN CNG AND LPG:

CNG Requires higher initial investment Lower running costs Lesser calorific value Bulkier and heavier storage tanks Limited availability Safer: It is lighter and has a higher ignition temperature More popular with commercial vehicles.

LPG Lower initial investment Higher running costs Higher calorific value Smaller and lighter storage tanks Far better availability Heavier and has a lower ignition temperature More popular with private vehicles.

WHY LPG IS BETTER:

LPG MARKETING IN INDIAN HISTORY: o o o o LPG marketing started in India in the mid-fifties by the multinational oil companies (Burmah Shell / Stanvac) The bottling operations were then mainly confined to Refinery plants and marketing was limited to nearby areas Though IOC started functioning in the month May 1959, it actually started marketing of LPG in the year 1965 with brand name `INDANE. Demand started picking up from 1980s with 1. its acceptability as clean and safe product 2. additional availability from refineries and gas fractionators Till 1993, only government oil companies were permitted to market LPG

39

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

The LPG (supply and distribution) Order was revised in 1993 to allow Private entrepreneurs to import, bottle, distribute and market LPG within the country under PMS.

In the earlier eighties, the total number of customers in the country was about 30 Lakhs. After 3 decades, there is a multifold increase in number of customers/sales.

LPG sales on account of IOC stood at 6600 TMT during 2010-11 as against Industry sale of 13911 TMT.

LPG waiting list stands fully liquidated.

GRADES MARKETED/TYPES OF SALES: 1. Domestic LPGo Packed product in 14.2kg, & 5kg cylinders, home delivered through distributors.

2. Non domestic LPGo Packed product 19kg and 47.5 kg delivered supply through distributors. Exclusive distributorships in offing. 3. Bulk LPGo Delivered to storage tanks of customers o Business associates to garner customers.

4. Auto LPGo Through retail outlets and stand alone outlets at distributor premises.

INTERNATIONAL DEMAND OF LPG:


LPG production in the US has been growing due to the exploitation of growing shale Gas & Oil prices, but global LPG markets have been tighter than expected. This has created an unusual dynamic in which LPG prices in the US have been significantly lower than international prices & arbitrage has resulted in record exports of propane from the US gulf coast.

FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR LPG MARKET OUTSIDE THE US TIGHT IN 2010: o Reduction in LPG production in Algeria resulted in a drop in LPG exports by sonatrach. o LPG terminal maintenance in the North Sea disrupted trade in northern west. o Global demand of LPG totaled slightly less than 220 million tons in 2005.Puroin & Gets estimates that the market will grow to about 228 millions tones in 2006 & reach more than 258 million by the year 2010.

DEMAND FORECAST OF LPG:

Every plan starts with a demand forecast. So with the past eight years data of actual LPG demand of the country we have forecasted the future demand of LPG. It is only a quantitative demand forecast. The actual demand values for the past 7 years are as follows:

44

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

By visual inspection we can see that the demand has been increasing every year. So this made us choose the trend analysis method for forecasting demand.

45

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

The forecasted demand for the next 12 years is as under:

46

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Other data: The trend equation: Y = 8729560 + 678453.3 X Where X = time and Y = demand Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) = 257947.9 The demand figures we have drawn are not accurate even. We tried to reduce the error by avoiding rounding off. The values for the first couple of years may get closer to the actual demand but as the forecasted values go further into the future the more unreliable the value gets. It is because there may be many unforeseen or unanticipated events that may increase or decrease the demand.

47

FUTURE DEMAND OF LPG: What do we see over the next 30 years? The answer to that question varies by region, reflecting diverse economic and demographic trends as well as the evolution of technology and government policies. Everywhere, though, we see energy being used more efficiently and Energy supplies continuing to diversify as new technologies and sources emerge. Other key findings of this years Outlook include: Global energy demand will be about 30 percent higher in 2040 compared to 2010, as economic output more than doubles and prosperity expands across a world whose population will grow to nearly 9 billion people. Energy demand growth will slow as economies mature, efficiency gains accelerate and population growth moderates. In the countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) including countries in North America and Europe we see energy use remaining essentially flat, even as these countries achieve economic growth and even higher living standards. In contrast, Non OECD energy demand will grow by close to 60 percent. Chinas surge in energy demand will extend over the next two decades then gradually flatten as its economy and population mature. Elsewhere, billions of people will be working to advance their living standard requiring more energy. The need for energy to make electricity will remain the single biggest driver of demand. By 2040, electricity generation will account for more than 40 percent of global energy consumption. Demand for coal will peak and begin a gradual decline, in part because of emerging policies that will seek to curb emissions by imposing a cost on higher-carbon fuels. Use of renewable energies and nuclear power will grow significantly. Oil, gas and coal continue to be the most widely used fuels, and have the scale needed to meet global demand, making up about 80 percent of total energy consumption in 2040.Natural gas will grow fast enough to overtake coal for the number-two position behind oil. Demand for natural gas will rise by more than 60 percent through 2040. For both oil and natural gas, an increasing share of global supply will come from unconventional sources such as those produced from shale formations. Gains in efficiency through energy-saving practices and technologies such as hybrid vehicles and new, high efficiency natural gas power plants will temper demand growth and curb emissions. 48 JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT


INTRODUCTION: Within the organization, the supply chain refers to a wide range of functional areas. These Include Supply Chain Management-related activities such as inbound and outbound transportation warehousing, and inventory control. Sourcing, procurement, and supply management fall under the supply-chain umbrella, too. Forecasting, production planning and scheduling, order processing, and customer service all are part of the process as well. Importantly, it also embodies the information systems so necessary to monitor all of these activities. Simply stated, the supply chain encompasses all of those activities associated with moving goods from the raw-materials stage through to the end user." In many organizations, materials form the largest single expenditure item, accounting for nearly 50 to 65 % of the total expenditure. With competition growing by the day, cost reduction in business operations and yet making available various products to customers , as per their requirement, come into sharp focus. Maintaining a flawless supply chain across all its operations thus becomes absolutely necessary for any business. Importance of supply chain management need not be over emphasized as it has become the cutting edge of business, after product quality and manufacturing capabilities of any business firm.

TODAYS SCENARIO OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT: If we take the view that Supply Chain Management is what Supply Chain Management people do, then in 1997 Supply Chain Management has a firm hand on all aspects of physical distribution and materials management. Seventy-five percent or more of respondents included the following activities as part of their company's Supply Chain Management department functions: Inventory management Transportation service procurement
50 JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Materials handling Inbound transportation Transportation operations management Warehousing management Moreover, the Supply Chain Management department is expected to increase its range of responsibilities, most often in line with the thinking that sees the order fulfillment process as one co-ordinate set of activities. Thus the functions most often cited as planning to formally include in the Supply Chain Management department are: Customer service performance monitoring Order processing/customer service Supply Chain Management budget forecasting

On the other hand, there are certain functions which some of us might feel logically belong to Supply Chain Management which companies feel are the proper domain of other departments. Most difficult to bring under the umbrella of Supply Chain Management are: Third party invoice payment/audit Sales forecasting Supply Chain Management Tomorrow: The future for Supply Chain Management looks very bright. Two major trends are Customer service focus and Information technology.

SOURCES: 1. REFINERIES-: There are 19 refineries in total out of which 10 are owned by IOC,2 by HPC , 3 by BPC ,ONGC holds 2 & 2 are owned by private companies i.e. Reliance & Essar Oil.

2. FRACTIONATORS:Only ONGC & GAIL are into exploration & production OF LPG. Thus only they own fractionators at present there are 12 fractionators out of which 6 are owned by GAIL, 5 are owned by ONGC & 1 is owned by Oil Duliajan.

54

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

3. IMPORTS-: Basically we import LPG (combination of propane & butane) from GULF Countries. Mainly from Saudi Arabia, Malaysia. IOC has 4 ports handling LPG imports they are at Kandla, Haldia, Vizag & Mangalore. IOC uses Time chartered (TC) or Voyage charted ships to import LPG. TCs are hired on a yearly basis or for a certain time period like 2-3 years. VC's are hired particular voyage only- as and when sudden increase in demand these are used. These are also used in coastal movement-transport of LPG along the coast line of India. TRANSPORTATION OF LPG:
LPG is transported to the bottling plants by 3 modes which are as follows; 1) RAIL- fixed proportion 2) ROAD- costliest 3) PIPELINE- most reliable one

PIPELINES-: The easiest and safest mode of transporting LPG is through pipelines. On the other hand it is challenging as well as tough job to establish pipelines across country. As once you have established the pipelines it is not possible to change the capacity of the pipelines.

55

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Benefits of Pipelines Safer mode of transportation Environment friendly Least energy requirement Lowest maintenance costs Minimal impact on land use pattern Negligible loss of product in transit High reliability

RAILWAYS:Rails are the cheapest mode of transporting LPG but meanwhile the availability of the tracks as well as the stations are in the hands of the Government .LPG is loaded into containers called as tank wagons which have capacity of 37.5 MT( for 8 wheeler tank wagons) and unloaded at the nearest bottling plant. To unload LPG from the tank wagon, bottling plants should install separate machinery. Not all bottling plants have this feature as not all the bottling plants have rail availability.

56

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

ROAD:To transfer LPG through roads costs highest,as well as it is unsafe also that is high amount of security if we transfer LPG through roads. Trucks of 18 MT capacity is used to carry bulk LPG.As it is the most costly mode of transporting LPG it should be minimize to maximum.

57

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

COASTAL-: Whenever there is excess an excess of production at RIL, Jamnagar. The material is moved from Jamnagar to other coastal areas like Kandla, Mangalore, Halsia & Vizag. Pipeline transport: It is the transportation of goods through a pipe. Most commonly, liquids and gases are sent, but pneumatic tubes using compressed air can also transport solid capsules. As for gases and liquids, any chemically stable substance can be sent through a pipeline. Therefore sewage, slurry, water, or even beer pipelines exist; but arguably the most valuable are those transporting crude petroleum and refined petroleum product including fuels: oil (oleoduct),natural gas (gas grid), and befouls. There is some argument as to when the first crude oil pipeline was built. However, some say pipeline transport was pioneered by Vladimir Shukhov and the Bramble company in the late 19th century. For natural gas, pipelines are constructed of carbon steel and vary in size from 2 to 60 inches (51 to 1,500 mm) in diameter, depending on the type of pipeline. The gas is pressurized by compressor stations and is odorless unless mixed with a mercaptan odorant where required by a regulating authority.

Types by transport function: In general, pipelines can be classified in three categories depending on purpose: Gathering pipelinesGroup of smaller interconnected pipelines forming complex networks with the purpose of bringing crude oil or natural gas from several nearby wells to a treatment plant or processing facility. In this group, pipelines are usually short- a couple of hundred meters- and with small diameters. Also sub-sea pipelines for collecting product from deep water production platforms are considered gathering systems.

58

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Transportation pipelinesMainly long pipes with large diameters, moving products (oil, gas, refined products) between cities, countries and even continents. These transportation networks include several compressor stations in gas lines or pump stations for crude and multi products pipelines.

Distribution pipelinesComposed of several interconnected pipelines with small diameters, used to take the products to the final consumer. Feeder lines to distribute gas to homes and businesses downstream. Pipelines at terminals for distributing products to tanks and storage facilities are included in this group. Construction When a pipeline is built, the construction project not only covers the civil work to lay the pipeline and build the pump/compressor stations, it also has to cover all the work related to the installation of the field devices that will support remote operation. The pipeline is routed along what is known as a 'right of way'. Pipelines are generally built using the following stages: 1. Route (right of way) Selection 2. Surveying the route 3. Clearing the route 4. Trenching - Main Route and Crossings (roads, rail, other pipes, etc.) 5. Installing the pipe 6. Installing valves, intersections, etc. 7. Covering the pipe and trench Russia has Pipeline Troops as part of the Rear Services, who are trained to build and repair pipelines. Russia is the only country to have Pipeline Troops.

59

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

OperationField devices are instrumentation, data gathering units and communication systems. The field Instrumentation includes flow, pressure and temperature gauges/transmitters, and other devices to measure the relevant data required. These instruments are installed along the pipeline on some specific locations, such as injection or delivery stations, pump stations (liquid pipelines) or compressor stations (gas pipelines), and block valve stations. The information measured by these field instruments is then gathered in local Remote Terminal Units (RTU) that transfer the field data to a central location in real time using communication systems, such as satellite channels, microwave links, or cellular phone connections. Pipelines are controlled and operated remotely, from what is usually known as The Main Control Room. In this center, all the data related to field measurement is consolidated in one central database. The data is received from multiple RTUs along the pipeline. It is common to find RTUs installed at every station along the pipeline.

60

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

The SCADA System for pipe lines The SCADA system at the Main Control Room receives all the field data and presents it to the pipeline operator through a set of screens or Human Machine Interface, showing the operational conditions of the pipeline. The operator can monitor the hydraulic conditions of the line, as well as send operational commands (open/close valves, turn on/off compressors or pumps, change set points, etc.) through the SCADA system to the field. To optimize and secure the operation of these assets, some pipeline companies are using what is called Advanced Pipeline Applications, which are software tools installed on top of the SCADA system, that provide extended functionality to perform leak detection, leak location, batch tracking (liquid lines), pig tracking, composition tracking, predictive modeling, look ahead modeling, operator training and more.

ImplementationAs a rule pipelines for all uses are laid in most cases underground. However in some cases it is necessary to cross a valley or a river on a pipeline bridge. Pipelines for centralized heating systems are often laid on the ground or overhead. Pipelines for petroleum running through permafrost areas as Trans-Alaska-Pipeline are often run overhead in order to avoid melting the frozen ground by hot petroleum which would result in sinking the pipeline in the ground.

MaintenanceMaintenance of pipelines includes checking Cathodic protection levels for the proper range, surveillance for construction, erosion, or leaks by foot, land vehicle, boat, or air, and running cleaning pigs, when there is anything carried in the pipeline that is corrosive. US pipeline maintenance rules are covered in Code of Federal Regulations(CFR) sections, 49 CFR 192 for natural gas pipelines, and 49 CFR 195 for petroleum liquid pipelines. In the US, onshore and offshore pipelines used to transport oil and gas is regulated by the Pipeline (PHMSA). Certain offshore pipelines
61 JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Used to produce oil and gas are regulated by the Minerals Management Service (MMS). In Canada, pipelines are regulated by either the provincial regulators or, if they cross provincial boundaries or the Canada/US border, by the National Energy Board (NEB). Government regulations in Canada and the United States require that buried fuel pipelines must be protected from corrosion. Often, the most economical method of corrosion control is by use of pipeline coating in conjunction with cathodic protection and technology to monitor the pipeline. Above ground, cathodic protection is not an option. The coating is the only external protection.

Pipelines and geopoliticsPipelines for major energy resources (petroleum and natural gas) are not merely an element of trade. They connect to issues of geopolitics and international security as well, and the construction, placement, and control of oil and gas pipelines often figure prominently in state interests and actions. A notable example of pipeline politics occurred at the beginning of the year 2009, wherein a dispute between Russia and Ukraine ostensibly over pricing led to a major political crisis. Russian state-owned gas company Gazprom cut off natural gas supplies to Ukraine after talks between it and the Ukrainian government fell through. In addition to cutting off supplies to Ukraine, Russian gas flowing through Ukrainewhich included nearly all supplies to Southeastern Europe and some supplies to Central and Western Europe was cut off, creating a major crisis in several countries heavily dependent on Russian gas as fuel. Russia was accused of using the dispute as leverage in its attempt to keep other powers, and particularly the European Union, from interfering in its "near abroad".

Future Plans: The demand for LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) as domestic fuel in the Northern, Central and Western regions is being met from indigenous LPG production from oil refineries and from gas processing units. Besides domestic LPG production sources, the deficit in demand-Supply is being met through import of LPG at Kandla on the West coast.

62

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Increasing demand for LPG has also put tremendous pressure on the rail/road network. Accordingly, requirement of LPG pipeline starting from Kandla port up to Loni was identified and world's longest LPG pipeline was commissioned by GAIL to facilitate transportation of imported LPG and LPG production from the indigenous units at Jamnagar to the northern region. DESIGN CAPACITY: 2.5 MMTPA Risk Involved in transporting bulk LPG Through cross country pipeline LPG is stored in Liquid form under high pressure conditions. When released in air it possesses the following risk:

Highly flammable Settles and flows along ground High liquid to vapor ratio High increase in pressure due to temperature rise Vaporizes rapidly, lowering temperature which may cause frost burn Low viscosity and poor lubrication Risk of vapor cloud explosion Risk of BLEVE

OBSERVATIONS & ANALYSIS

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

OBSERVATIONS & ANALYSIS


Concentration of production: Earlier, we have seen that the production of LPG is from three sources viz. refineries, fractionators and imports. The sources are distributed across the country and so are the markets. We learnt that most of the imports are from Saudi Arabia which is near to the west of India. So obviously, LPG is imported to the ports at the west coast of India and later distributed to the other parts by land. Similarly, even crude is imported from Saudi Arabia and so imported at the ports on the west coast. Observing these points, we wanted to analyze the distribution of sources across India and if they are meeting the demands of their locality. Broadly, we divided India into four major regions viz. North, East, West and South and categorized all the sources of LPG (IOC, BPC, HPC, RIL, ONGC) into the four categories. On doing so, we found a very huge imbalance in the production and demand of LPG in the corresponding regions.

77

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

The maximum consumption is at the north region (32%) followed by the south region (30%) where the production is only 11% and 15% respectively. So the difference is 21 percentage points at north and 15 percentage points at south which is equivalent to 3348 TMT and 2852 TMT respectively. The maximum production is at the west (67%) where the consumption is only 25%. So, the material has to move from west to north and south.

78

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

These imbalances infer that the material, a total of 6200 TMT, has to be transported from the source to the markets to meet the respective demands. With such huge imbalances, a lot of material has to be transported which will cost millions of dollars. Rs. 1480 is the average price to transport 1 MT of LPG for 1km and if the average distance between the reference points of north (Delhi) and west (Kandla) is 1100 km then the average cost of transporting 3348 TMT is 1480 * 3348 * 1000 * 1100 = Rs. 5,450,544,000,000 per annum Similarly, the average transportation from west (Kandla) to south (Bangalore) is 1480 * 2852 * 1000 * 1800 = Rs. 7,597,728,000,000 per annum. DETAILED EXPLANATION OF NEW DELHI- PANIPAT PIPE LINE:

Forecasted demand of Delhi (TIKRIKALAN)is extremely high i.e. 240 TMTPA. This proposed pipeline can help to avoid the mismatch of demand-supply in the year 2016-17.

Can help to its nearby district like Gurgaon, Rohtak, Noida, Jind, Hisar etc. Analyzed the data of year 16-17 and proposed one suitable pipeline for it.

Other costs also associated in this pipe lines are Land & RoU Station mechanical, Electrical & Instrumentation Station civil works Miscellaneous expenses* including contingency Interest & Misc charges

Likewise we have found other 7 feasible proposed pipe lines. Everything is calculated using same formula and secondary data.

RECOMMENDATIONS
In the current scenario, these are the 8 possible LPG pipelines which are feasible according to Thumb Rule. If these pipe lines will be set up then almost 90% of the country will be covered by the pipelines. IOC should focus on the extreme Eastern region so that whole India can get LPG easily without any hesitation. It should also work on the top of Northern Region like Jammu, Leh, and Srinagar etc and hill area Himachal Pradesh. Already it has a strong network of LPG pipelines in Southern, Northern and Eastern Region. It should focus on the western region to make its pipeline networking more stronger. As the taxes vary from state to state, it is not wise to calculate the profit after tax (PAT) to assess the manager. Instead, operating profit makes a better performance measure in this case. As the demand varies from state to state or market to market it is not right to assess the plant managers on the profit they make in numbers. So the performance measure to be used here is a ratio. The ratio should be: Operating profit/cost of goods sold

CONCLUSION
Can easily handle the mismatch of demand- supply in the year 2021-22 if these proposed pipe lines will function. In future the projected demand will gradually decrease mostly after the year 16-17 as the demands will be fulfilled significantly by IOC, HPC, and BPC jointly. a profit center empowers the plant manager to choose his/her supply sources and also his markets or price of the material to maximize the profits of his plant. But as the price of LPG is fixed by the government the plant manager has to reduce the cost as much as possible. Pricing factors of LPG: To know what measures a plant manager can take to reduce the price of LPG it is necessary to study how LPG is priced. Free/Fuel-On-Board (F.O.B.) price: This is the actual price of LPG at the time of loading into the ship at the port of the country exporting it. Ocean freight: It is the cost of transportation of LPG from the exporting country to the importing country by ship. Insurance: It is the cost of shipping insurance. Ocean loss: A small portion of loss (0.305%) is considered during the shipping. Port dues & Wharfage: The price the import port charges for disporting the material.

88

JYOTIRAMAN & ARSHE ; ALLIANCE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Import Parity Price (IPP): The sum of all the costs listed above. Even if the plant manager wishes to procure LPG from any fractionator or refinery, he has to buy LPG at IPP of the nearest port.

Terminal charges: The charge for using the terminals at the port to store LPG. Freight charges: The cost of transportation of bulk LPG to the bottling plant. Fill cost: The cost of bottling.
