Oil India Pipeline History:
A 1157 kilometres long fully automated telemetric pipeline with 212 kilometres of looping having a total capacity to transport over 6.0 MMTPA remains the lifeline of the Company. Commissioned in 1962, the double skinned crude oil pipeline traverses 78 river crossings including the mighty Brahmaputra River meandering through paddy fields, forests and swamps. There are 9 pumping stations, 17 Repeater stations and a terminal at Barauni. The engines that drive the giant pumps along the pipeline have crossed over two hundred thousand hours of service and established a world record of machine run - hours. The Company is currently in the process of constructing a 660 KM long Product Pipeline from Numaligarh to Siliguri. The Pipeline is expected to be completed by mid 2007. OIL also sells its produced gas to different customers in Assam viz. BVFCL, ASEB, NEEPCO, IOC (AOD), and APL and to RSEB in Rajasthan. The company also produces Liquefied Gas (LPG) in its plant at Duliajan, Assam. It had an IPO on the BSE and the NSE in 2009
50 yrs of oil OIL on the threshold of its 50th Year since inception in 1959
Its celebration time for Team OIL and the Companys stakeholders!
FLASHBACK: By arrangement with the AR&T Co Ltd., the Burmah Oil Company (BOC) of UK, which was at that time operating in Burma across the Patkai Hills, took over the operation of the Assam Oil Company in 1921. BOC/AOC continued development of the Digboi oilfield and intensified exploration activities. In 1953, the first oil discovery of independent India was made at Nahorkatiya, repeated at Moran in 1956.
Oil India Private Ltd. was incorporated on February 18, 1959 for the development and production of the discovered prospects of Nahorkatiya and Moran and to increase the pace of exploration in Northeast India. It was registered as a Rupee Company with two-third shares owned by AOC/BOC and one-third by the Government of India (GoI). Via a subsequent agreement on July 27, 1961, GoI and BOC transformed OIL into a Joint Venture Company (JVC) with equal partnership. OIL remained a JVC for over two decades.
On October 14, 1981 Oil India Limited (OIL) became a wholly-owned GoI enterprise by taking over BOCs 50% equity, and the management of Digboi oilfield changed hands from the erstwhile AOC to OIL.
GOLDEN
JUBILEE
CELEBRATIONS
PERSPECTIVE
Essentially, OIL has celebrated two milestone years till date. First was the Silver Jubilee Year 1984, and second, a hundred years of the discovery of crude oil in Digboi in 1989. The Digboi discovery was celebrated primarily because OILs legacy has its roots in Asias first and the worlds second commercially successful oil exploration activity at Digboi, Assam in 1889. The Silver Jubilee Year was celebrated in 1984 because on February 18, 1959, Oil India as a Company (Oil India Private Limited) was born. Though the nature of ownership changed from the private sector to the public sector, Oil India in essence retained its name and continued to carry out its core activity as an E&P company.
Today as the pioneering and second-largest national upstream Oil and Gas Company with a pan Indian presence and growing global footprint, OIL is all set to conquer newer horizons of all-round growth and excellence.

COMPANY
PROFILE
The story of Oil India Limited (OIL) traces and symbolises the development and growth of the Indian petroleum industry. From the discovery of crude oil in the far east of India at Digboi, Assam in 1889 to its present status as a fully integrated upstream petroleum company, OIL has come far, crossing many milestones.
On February 18, 1959, Oil India Private Limited was incorporated to expand and develop the newly discovered oil fields of Naharkatiya and Moran in the Indian North East. In 1961, it became a joint venture company between the Indian Government and Burmah Oil Company Limited, UK.
In 1981, OIL became a wholly-owned Government of India enterprise. Today, OIL is a premier Indian National Oil Company engaged in the business of exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas, transportation of crude oil and production of LPG. OIL also provides various E&P related services and holds 26%

equity
in
Numaligarh
Refinery
Limited.
The Authorized share capital of the Company is Rs. 500 Crores. The Issued, Subscribed and Paid share capital of the company is Rs. 240.45 Crores. At present, The Government of India, the Promoter of the Company is holding 78.43% of the total Issued & Paid-up Capital of the Company. The balance 21.57% of the Equity capital is held by others.
OIL has over 1 lakh sq km of PEL/ML areas for its exploration and production activities, most of it in the Indian North East, which accounts for its entire crude oil production and majority of gas production. Rajasthan is the other producing area of OIL,
contributing 10 per cent of its total gas production.
Oil India Ltd., (OIL) is a large state-owned oil and gas company in India under the administrative control of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas of the Government of India. OIL is engaged in the business of exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas, transportation of crude oil and production of liquid petroleum gas.
13
OIL is the pioneer in exploration and production of hydrocarbons in India, and traces its roots back to Oil India Private Ltd., formed in 1959 with The Burmah Oil Company Ltd. holding two-thirds of equity and Government of India holding onethird. Oil India Private evolved into Oil India Ltd., which was an equal partnership between Burmah Oil and Government of India. In 1983 the company became a public sector undertaking of the Government of India. The Company presently produces over 3.2 MMTPA (million tons per annum) of crude oil, over 5 MMSCMD of Natural Gas and over 50,000 Tones of LPG annually. Most of this emanates from its traditionally rich oil and gas fields concentrated in the Northeastern part of India and contribute to over 65% of total Oil&Gas produced in the region. The search for newer avenues has seen OIL spreading out its operations in onshore / offshore Orissa and Andaman, deserts of Rajasthan, plains of Uttar Pradesh, riverbeds of Brahmaputra and offshore Saurashtra. In Rajasthan, OIL discovered gas in 1988, heavy oil / bitumen in 1991 and started production of gas in 1996. The company has accumulated over a hundred years of experience in the field of oil and gas production, since the discovery of Digboi oilfield in 1889. It is possibly the only company to do so. From well completion to wellbore servicing, installation, operation and maintenance of modern surface handling facilities, the company has the skill and expertise to manage the entire range of operations required for onshore oil and gas production. The company has over 100,000 square kilometres of license areas for oil and gas exploration. It has emerged as a consistently profitable international company with exploration blocks as far as Libya and sub-Saharan Africa.
14
In recent years, OIL has stepped up E & P activities significantly including Gas monetization in the North-East India. OIL has set up the NEF (North East Frontier) project to intensify its exploration activities in the frontier areas in North East, which are logistically very difficult and geologically complex. Presently, seismic surveys are being carried out in Manbhum, Pasighat and other Trust Belt areas. The Company operates a crude oil pipeline in the North East for transportation of crude oil produced by both OIL and ONGCL in the region to feed Numaligarh, Guwahati, Bongaigaon and Barauni refineries and a branch line to feed Digboi refinery.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT

purpose and role
In simple terms, an organization's human resource management strategy should maximize return on investment in the organization's human capital and minimize financial risk. Human Resources seeks to achieve this by aligning the supply of skilled and qualified individuals and the capabilities of the current workforce, with the organization's ongoing and future business plans and requirements to maximize return on investment and secure future survival and success. In ensuring such objectives are achieved, the human resource function purpose in this context is to implement the organization's human resource requirements effectively but also pragmatically, taking account of legal, ethical and as far as is practical in a manner that retains the support and respect of the workforce.
y y
Some industry commentators call the Human Resources function the last bastion of bureaucracy. Traditionally, the role of the Human Resource professional in many organizations has been to serve as the systematizing, policing arm of executive management.
y y
In this role, the HR professional served executive agendas well, but was frequently viewed as a road block by much of the rest of the organization. While some need for this role occasionally remains you wouldnt want every manager putting his own spin on a sexual harassment policy, as an example much of the HR role is transforming itself.
32
The role of the HR manager must parallel the needs of his or her changing organization. Successful organizations are becoming more adaptive, resilient, quick to change direction and customer-centered. Within this environment, the HR professional, who is considered necessary by line managers, is a strategic partner, an employee sponsor or advocate and a change mentor
Key functions Human Resources may set strategies and develop policies, standards, systems, and processes that implement these strategies in a whole range of areas. The following are typical of a wide range of organizations:
y y y y y y
Recruitment, selection, and onboarding (resourcing) Organizational design and development Business transformation and change management Performance, conduct and behavior management Industrial and employee relations Human resources (workforce) analysis and workforce personnel data management
y y y
Compensation, rewards, and benefits management Training and development (learning management) .
33
Implementation of such policies, processes or standards may be directly managed by the HR function itself, or the function may indirectly supervise the implementation of such activities by managers, other business functions or via third-party external partner organizations. Strategic Partner In todays organizations, to guarantee their viability and ability to contribute, HR managers need to think of themselves as strategic partners. In this role, the HR person contributes to the development of and the accomplishment of the organization-wide business plan and objectives. The HR business objectives are established to support the attainment of the overall strategic business plan and objectives. The tactical HR representative is deeply knowledgeable about the design of work systems in which people succeed and contribute. This strategic partnership impacts HR services such as the design of work positions; hiring; reward, recognition and strategic pay; performance development and appraisal systems; career and succession planning; and employee development. Employee Advocate As an employee sponsor or advocate, the HR manager plays an integral role in organizational success via his knowledge about and advocacy of people. This advocacy includes expertise in how to create a work environment in which people will choose to be motivated, contributing, and happy.
34
Fostering effective methods of goal setting, communication and empowerment through responsibility, builds employee ownership of the organization. The HR professional helps establish the organizational culture and climate in which people have the competency, concern and commitment to serve customers well. In this role, the HR manager provides employee development opportunities, employee assistance programs, gainsharing and profit-sharing strategies, organization development interventions, due process approaches to problem solving and regularly scheduled communication opportunities. Change Champion The constant evaluation of the effectiveness of the organization results in the need for the HR professional to frequently champion change. Both knowledge about and the ability to execute successful change strategies make the HR professional exceptionally valued. Knowing how to link change to the strategic needs of the organization will minimize employee dissatisfaction and resistance to change. The HR professional contributes to the organization by constantly assessing the effectiveness of the HR function. He also sponsors change in other departments and in work practices. To promote the overall success of his organization, he champions the identification of the organizational mission, vision, values, goals and action plans. Finally, he helps determine the measures that will tell his organization how well it is succeeding in all of this.

MARKETING DEPARTMENT
Marketing is the process by which companies create customer interest in products or services. It generates the strategy that underlies sales techniques, business communication, and business development.[1] It is an integrated process through which companies build strong customer relationships and create value for their customers and for themselves.[1] Marketing is used to identify the customer, to keep the customer, and to satisfy the customer. With the customer as the focus of its activities, it can be concluded that marketing management is one of the major components of business management. Marketing evolved to meet the stasis in developing new markets caused by mature markets and overcapacities in the last 2-3 centuries.[citation
needed]
The adoption of
marketing strategies requires businesses to shift their focus from production to the perceived needs and wants of their customers as the means of staying profitable.[citation needed] The term marketing concept holds that achieving organizational goals depends on knowing the needs and wants of target markets and delivering the desired satisfactions.[2] It proposes that in order to satisfy its organizational objectives, an organization should anticipate the needs and wants of consumers and satisfy these more effectively than competitors.[2]

The Indian Economy Blog Oil Pricing in India Filed under: Energy, Growth, Politics, Regulatory reforms pm The crude oil prices have finally touched $100 per barrel a psychological barrier and a statistical inanity. The composition of Indian crude basket represents average of Oman & Dubai for sour grades and Brent (dated) for sweet grade in the ratio of 59.8:40.2 since April 2006. The Indian crude basket has touched a high of over $92 in the new year, but is yet to hit the three-figure mark. India imports about 76 per cent of its crude oil requirements which amounts to an oil import bill of around $50 billion every year. Indias crude oil import bill rose by 3.48% in rupee terms and 16.67% in dollar terms during the first half of the current fiscal year. The appreciation in rupee value by 12.3% this year, the most since at least 1974, has helped partially offset the sharp rise in global oil prices. As per the Government, every one rupee appreciation in the exchange rate of Indian rupee against US dollar will help reduction in the net oil import bill by around Rs 3950 crore. It should help that the rupee is forecast to advance 3.4 percent next year to 38 per dollar by the end of December, according to the median estimate of 22 strategists surveyed by Bloomberg News. CNBC-TV18 believes that at current rates, petroleum has an under recovery of nearly Rs 9.5 per litre, diesel Rs 11.3 per litre, LPG Rs 380 per cylinder, and kerosene Rs 21 per litre. However, Indian Express estimates the loss to marketing
Pragmatic @ 10:20
38
companies for petrol at Rs 8.74 a litre, diesel at Rs 9.92 per litre, kerosene Rs 20.53 a litre and LPG at Rs 256.35 per cylinder. As per the government policy of 2003, the subsidy component by the government has remained constant since 2004-05 at Rs 22.58 per per LPG cylinder and Rs 0.82 per litre of kerosene. The balance subsidy is provided by the marketing companies from their own pockets. The gross under-recoveries in 2006-07 by the three oil marketing companies IOC, BPC and HPC were Rs 28584 crore for kerosene and LPG, and Rs 20803 crore for petrol and diesel. The estimated under recoveries by oil marketing companies during April- September 2007 have been Rs13814 crores on kerosene and LPG, and Rs 12549 crore on petrol and diesel. If current price trends hold, the under-recoveries to the marketing companies are estimated to be around Rs 70,000 crore this financial year around o.75% of Indias GDP. This has to be shared between the three marketing companies, the upstream companies ONGC, Oil India and GAIL and the government. The upstream oil companies have already contributed Rs 8788 crore for the period April- September 2007 to partially compensate these under-recoveries by the oil marketing companies. The contribution by the upstream companies in 2006-07 was Rs 20507 crore and is likely to rise by another 5000 crore this year. In 2006-07, the government issued oil bonds worth Rs 24,121 crore to marketing companies for the four products, while it had issued oil bonds worth Rs.11,500 crore in 2005-06 for losses in marketing LPG and kerosene. The government has
39
decided to issue bonds worth Rs 23,457 crores this year, which is not likely to meet the estimated deficits of the marketing companies. If additional bonds are not issued by the government this year, the deficit can only be met by increasing the domestic prices of the products. The last time the domestic prices of petrol and diesel were raised was in June 2006. The prices of petrol and diesel were revised downwards twice afterwards, in November 2006 and in February 2007. Domestic pricing continues to be a politically sensitive topic, with a broad consensus across the political spectrum to stall any upward revision of prices. There is a Group of ministers, chaired by Pranab Mukherjee, to suggest an alternative model for pricing of domestic products. As with the Indo-US nuclear deal, the left and the right are both opposed to any hike in prices of domestic petroleum products. The government is also worried about the inflationary impact of higher domestic prices of petroleum products. A cut in the customs duty on the crude oil and in the excise duty in petrol and diesel by the government is likely to keep the prices suppressed for some more time. The subsidies, whether direct and transparent by the government or indirect as in tax cuts, oil bonds and compensation by government owned upstream companies, are a drain on the resources of the government. The losses to the exchequer can only be reduced when the consumer pays the right price for the product.

This is a research study based on OILs Duliajan Central Industrial Complex. The Environmental implications of the exploration and production of mineral oil and natural gas are well known. Global problems like enhanced greenhouse effect to locally increased incidence of respiratory disorders are attributed to such operations. So are other forms of pollution, which adversely affect the flora, fauna, humans, domesticated animals and all other forms of life. In the theory and practice of environmental management, a paradigm shift is taking place from 'end-of-the-pipe treatment' of pollution or negative environmental externalities, to 'Preventive Environmental Management'. OIL and its operations have sufficient scope for attracting attention as far as externalities are concerned for it is the biochemical and physical nature of the fossil fuels that may make the life of human, flora, fauna and all other forms of life unsustainable on earth. But then, the need of economic development, which is essentially energy intensive, cannot be denied. The issue becomes pertinent in the context of a developing economy like India. The role of OIL and similar industries
42
forms the core in rapid economic growth, through industrialization and a subsequent expansion of the services sector. Preventive Environmental Management (PEM) can mitigate the potential environmental damage. Therefore, it is essential to explore the pragmatic integration of the externalities into the marginal private cost (MPC) of production of the operations of the OIL and arrive at a nearly true Marginal Social Cost (MSC) of production. Whether, the environmental performance of OIL with special reference to its operations under the Duliajan Central Industrial Complex, is optimum, has to be examined. The examination and related studies requires integration of the enforceability of the Environmental Management System (EMS), eco-efficiency and application of the grant of property rights, for an efficient solution to the problems faced in environmental economics. There is a pressing need to resolve the contradictions between rapid development through poverty alleviation via unsustainable energy exploration/production/use, and sustainable development through efficient
environmental management. Therefore, the research problem is to explore the possibility of implementing an efficient EMS in the OIL. Paper presented in the Workshop on Trade, Environmental and Rural Poverty held at the Institute of Economic Growth, University Enclave, Delhi, during 18-19 August, 2006.

STUDY GOAL OF THE PAPER The paper attempts to analyse compatibility of the existing environmental management practices with the principles of EMS. THE ECONOMICS OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN OIL Corporate Environmental Management (CEM) is referred to as Environmental Management System when the later is incorporated as a management policy and
1
practice of a firm or a corporate body. EMS is defined as a comprehensive management policy and includes practices undertaken by a corporate body or firm or an institution that include the operations, organization, financial planning and overall strategies for meeting the goal of sustainable development through deliberate modifications in the context of its interactions with the environment. The concepts and ideas related to CEM took concrete shape during the 1960s and
2
some sequence of events [a comprehensive list can be referred in Appendix I] across the developed nations gave shape to a kind of awakening in this field. Levels of EMS in OIL In order to find the levels of Environmental Management System (EMS), during the course of study questionnaires were administered to the officials of OIL, information and data were collected on objective indicators of EMS and officials were also interviewed over a period of two years. At the beginning of the study, OIL did not have a comprehensive certification like the ISO 9000 or ISO 14000 but during the course of the study, OIL gradually adopted certain certification processes and at the conclusion of the study it has undertaken certification under ISO 14000 for certain facilities.
44
The key elements of EMS include the following: Environmental Policy Environmental Standards Legal Requirements and Compliance Setting of Environmental Targets Organizational Structure and Responsibility Training, Awareness and Development of Competence Establishment of Communication Operational Control Monitoring and Measurement Non-Compliance and Non-Conformation for Subsequent Corrective and Preventive Action Maintenance of Records EMS Audit Management Review.
A detailed study of the aforesaid key elements in the context of the operations of OIL was done and the methodology consisted in use of questionnaires; interviews and official documents and records of the management sections of OIL; as well as records of SPCB. A Check-list on EMS was prepared and information was
45
recorded for this specific purpose. The study found that as per the official version of OIL, the organization is committed to Environmental Management (EM) and this is validated by two important aspects. OIL appointed OConnor Associates
4
Environment Insurance of Canada to carry out an Environmental Study in the year 1995. This study was a voluntary initiative and there was no legal, public, global, market or any other requisition for carrying out such a study. OIL has succeeded in the continual cycle approach to a great extent. OIL has a well organized Safety & Environment (S & E) department functioning with an allocation of top level executives and is manned by 20 full-time employees. The S & E department is responsible for overseeing the environmental aspects and implications of the operations of OIL and is the core group behind the Environmental Policy adopted, implemented, and practiced. It also ensures an efficient overall EMS. According to the S & E department officials, the budgetary allocation made to it does not reflect the entire expenditure on environmental management. The individual departments of OIL additionally budget for environmental management matters and compliance in their respective
departments. For example, the Production Department of OIL maintains a Treatment Plant and hence incurs the related expenditure. However, a mere amount of Rs 4 to 5 lakh is kept aside for the payment of compensation related to pollution and externality damages. Environmental Policy and OIL An Environmental Policy is a key element of an efficient EMS and in the absence of such a policy, only partial environmental management (EM) can be practiced.
46
OIL did not have an EM till late 2003. The Safety, Health and Environment
th
(SHE) Policy of the OIL was approved and adopted in the 344 Board Meeting of the Board of Directors held at New Delhi on 17 Nov, 2003. According to this policy, the following measures have been adopted-
Ensure a safe and sound working environment at all our work places. Comply with all the Rules and Regulations on Safety, Occupational Health and Environment Protection stipulated by statutes besides our own policies and manuals. Adopt and promote safe and eco-friendly technology and review the performance of the systems in line with changing needs. Continuously work towards mitigation of adverse environmental impacts, if any of our operations on air, water and land. Prevent mishaps, minimize risks and hazards and remain trained, equipped and ready for an effective and prompt response to emergencies including disasters and accidents. Promote resource conservation and recycle options. Prevent occupational diseases and accord due concern for the employees health as well as community around our operational areas. Encourage external audit of our S, H & E standards so that the confidence of stakeholders and the public is safeguarded.
47
y Encourage knowledge upgradation and promote safety, health and environmental awareness amongst all the employees. Remain committed to continual improvement and the achievement of highest safety, health and environmental protection standards of the company leading towards sustainable development. Work towards preserving the ecological balance and heritage in operational areas.
OIL has taken a major step towards ensuring an efficient EMS in its operations by adopting the stated Environmental Policy. The statements of this policy are in line with, and correspond to, the standard practices in EMS of CEM at the global level. OIL has affected measures to ensure a safe and sound working environment at its sites and all other work places. According to standard environmental policies, mitigation of the environmental effects of the operations of a producer must take place within a span of two to three years. The annual reports of the firm too must reflect the changes that have been effected in the environmental aspects. The annual reports of OIL for the years 2002-05, 2003-04, 2004-05 were scrutinized and analysed to assess whether the changes and mitigation efforts had been documented or not. It was found that OIL meticulously documents all the preventive, mitigating measures, certification, compliance and any other related activities in the context of environmental aspects in all its annual reports of the OIL. For example, OIL has undertaken certification of certain facilities like the Power House, LPG Bottling Plant, Hospital and
48
Medical Services, etc. and three of these have been already approved under ISO 14000. Efforts to bring the facilities of OIL under the purview of ISO 14000 certification
49
50
and its subsequent documentation in its Annual Reports are validation of its initiating establishment of an efficient EMS. Environmental Standards Environmental standards can be defined in the context of national or sub-national and international requirements, legislations, treaties and other practiced and enforceable systems. At the national and sub-national level, OIL has to compulsorily adhere to the legislations enforced by the Government of India and those that are regulated by the MoEF and implemented and enforced by the CPCB and SPCBs at the central and state levels, respectively. Only three (3) departments of OIL have been certified under the ISO 14000 standards.

OPERATIONS
Exploration:
OILs systematic and scientific approach to exploration has been rewarded with a high success ratio of 65% of exploratory wells drilled. OIL also possesses 2D and 3D seismic data acquisition capabilities, with excellent support services ranging from satellite navigation systems to remote blasting units. NE
OIL owns a vast array of advanced computing systems and experienced personnel to process and interpret geo-scientific data through integrated exploration applications such as Remote Sensing, Structural and Stratigraphic Interpretation, Seismic Attribute Analysis, Source Rock Evaluation, Biostratigraphy, Petrophysics, Sequence Stratigraphy, Basin Analysis, approach Techno-econFormation of geological, evaluation through an and integrated reservoir
geophysical,
geo-chemical
engineering studies has allowed OIL to develop and exploit deep (35004700 m) thin sand prospects. Today, these reservoirs contribute over 50% of OILs production. It is envisaged that the current introduction of extensive 3D seismic will assist in reservoir management in both new as well as ageing fields, heralding a new chapter in reservoir engineering studies.
OIL has so far acquired, processed and interpreted over 70,000 line km of 2D and 5,000 sq km of 3D seismic data in a variety of terrains, including
62
hills,deserts,rivers,marshes,etc.
ReservoirManagement:
OIL has pioneered the implementation of the concepts of modern reservoir management in the Indian oil industry. Numerical reservoir simulation, introduced by OIL in India for the first time in the early seventies, has remained its forte since inception. Simulation has been used as an important tool for management planning, production forecasting and decision making. Based on numerical simulation studies, gas and water injection, and water and polymer flooding projects have been successfully implemented in OILs fields, yielding recoveries averaging over 20% in excess of the recoverable solely by primary depletion.
OIL has also developed special expertise in reservoir management of ageing fields. Today, OIL has state-of-the-art numerical reservoir simulators with dedicated workstations and a valuable knowledge-base to handle cost-effective reservoir evaluation, development and management in all demanding environments.
An integrated database management system designed and developed inhouse has been extremely efficient in processing / analysing reservoir monitoring data. Apart from routine activities for reservoir surveillance, many other operations such as transient well tests, nodal analysis,
63
collection of crude / condensate / gas samples for PVT analysis, analysis of side-wall and conventional cores, etc. are carried out as an integral part of reservoir management. omic Evaluation, etc. xploration
Dilling & Work Overr:
OIL currently owns and operates 13 drilling rigs and 14 work-over rigs, besides charter hiring drilling rigs based on operational requirement.
Over 1,000 wells covering over 3.5 million metres, varying in depth from 1,000 5,000 metres, have been drilled in various surface and sub-surface environments, including high underground pressures and temperaturTo minimise land acquisition time, OIL has resorted to cluster well drilling to develop its oil and gas fields, which has resulted in protection of green belts surrounding OIL's operational areas.
OILs all round excellence in performance is attributed in part to efficient well drilling by the rig building team and proper maintenance of equipment at the company's well-equipped Workshop, which has achieved a peak performance level of over 20,000 m/rig year.
64
WirelineLoggingServices:
The process of recording formation parameters against depth for locating reservoirs, their contents and the ability to produce oil, gas or water after interpretation is known as Well Logging.
OILs Well Logging Department (WLD) was set up in 1978 under the directive of the Ministry of Petroleum & Chemicals, to develop self reliance and save foreign exchange being paid to service contractors. This in-house setup, equipped with basic logging equipment, started its logging operations from 1979 by recording a Cement Bond Log (CBL) in Well Jorajan # 12.
The WLD now provides around 75% of OILs total logging requirements. The balance 25% is supplemented by service contractors since the WLD has not invested in specialised logging equipment, which is extremely expensive and not cost-effective. Log interpretation, which was earlier outsourced, is now executed by OILs personnel. The WLD uses RS6000 workstation and software ULTRA, procured from Halliburton Energy Services, USA for log interpretation.
The WLD has recorded continuous awards as the best engineering installation in OILs internal safety competitions from 1994 till date, besides a continuous accident free record for several years. The WLD won the first
65
prizes in the North-eastern Oil Mines Safety Competition as the Best Engineering Installation and for the Best Safety Performance.
The WLD has constantly stretched its manpower and equipment to their limits to serve OILs internal projects. In the onshore Bay Exploration Project at Orissa, it provided the entire logging services for 4 wells in 198788. Similarly, in the Rajasthan Project in 1988, the WLD provided logging services for the first well, followed by 3 drilling and 4 work-over wells at Kumchai in Arunachal Pradesh in 1992-93 and in Simen Chapori # 1 under BVEP in 2002. The WLD is also providing Cased Hole logging and perforating services to the Rajasthan Project.
The WLD currently provides self-designed, essential logging services as desired by the management. However, specialised logging services such as those for offshore, horizontal and multilateral wells will be outsourced in the future as well. e conditions.
Production Services:
OIL has accumulated over a hundred years
ofexperience in oil and gas production since the discovery of Digboi oilfield in 1889. From well completion to wellbore servicing, installation, operation and maintenance of modern surface handling facilities,
66
OIL has the expertise to manage the entire range of operations required for onshore oil and gas production. In particular, it has perfected the techniques to produce and condition the waxy (paraffinic and asphaltenic) crude oil of Assam.
Productivity improvement measures like acid stimulation, polymer water shut-off, gravel packing and chemical consolidation are designed and implemented in-house. Coil tubing technology has been increasingly used over the last decade. OIL also possesses expertise in designing, installing and troubleshooting continuous and intermittent gas-lift systems and the related networks.
About 50% of crude oil production comes from depleting oilfields. Artificial lifting and EOR techniques adopted since late 1960s have played an important role in augmenting production and enhancing the ultimOIL produces around 5 MMSCUMD of natural gas and has a dedicated pipeline network for collection and supply of gas as fuel and feedstock to nearby industries such as refineries, fertilizer and petrochemical plants, power generation plants and 200 tea gardens.
