Summary Information

• Ownership: Indian Oil Company
• Website: http://www.iocl.com/
• Location: Paradip, India
• Capacity: 15 million tons/annum & 300,000 bbl/day

• Expected Completion: 2013
• Budget: Rs 29,777-crore

The Project

• Project Type: New Refinery
• Project Summary: A 15 MMTPA refinery is being constructed at Paradip in Orissa. The refinery will have, apart from a Crude and Vacuum Distillation Unit, a Hydrocracking Unit, a Delayed Coker Unit and other secondary processing facilities. This will be the most modern refinery in India with a nil-residue production, and the products would meet stringent specifications. IndianOil has taken over 3344 acres of land for the project and necessary infrastructure development jobs prior to setting up of the main refinery are in progress.
• Main Contractors:
  • Jacobs will perform front-end engineering and design services, and supervise the resulting lump sum turnkey (LSTK) contractors whose work includes the installation of a 4.1 MMTPA Delayed Coking Unit with associated facilities at IOCL's Paradip refinery.
  • Essar Projects has been awarded the Process Design, Detailed Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Commissioning and Performance Testing of core process units of the refinery, including the Atmospheric Vacuum Unit (AVU), Straight Run LPG Treating Unit, Naphtha Hydro Treating (NHT), Naphtha Fractionator Unit (NFU), Continuous Catalytic Reforming (CCR) Unit, Sour Water Stripper (SWS) Unit and Amine Regeneration Unit (ARU).
  • Punj Lloyd will do the the design, engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of Kero Treatment Unit, Sulphur Recovery Unit, FCC LPG Treatment Unit, FCC Light Naphtha Treatment Unit, Alkylation Unit, Butane Isomerisation Unit, Spent Acid Regeneration Unit and Flue Gas Desulphurisation Unit

Crude Supply

• IOC may take companies like Saudi Aramco and Kuwait Petroleum as equity partner in the Paradip refinery if they agree to supply most of the crude oil requirement of the 15 million tons unit.
• The Paradip refinery is being configured to process the toughest, heaviest and the dirtiest crudes which are cheaper than the cleaner and easier varieties.

Products To Be Produced

• LPG, Naphtha, MS, Jet/Kero, Diesel & Sulphur
• The refinery was originally planned to export at least 2.05 million tons of petrol and 124,000 tons of naphtha out of its yearly output of 15 million tons, however growing local demand means that exports will be negligible.

Other Information

• In 2009 IOC had signed a loan agreement with a consortium of lenders led by State Bank of India for term loan of Rs 14,900 crore for the project.
