Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) has selected Engineers India Ltd (EIL) as the PMC for the greenfield storage facility of 1,00,000 MTPA of imported Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in unlined rock caverns near Mangalore to maintain the supply chain to rail/road tankers or to export through ship tankers. The proposed strategic storage comprises three components namely storage cavern, pipeline, and jetty. MECON Limited has done the route and site survey. The pre-feasibility study was undertaken by Engineers India Limited (EIL). The Detailed Feasibility Report (DFR) was done by Geostock, France. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study was done by RITES Ltd. The Risk Assessment (RA), disaster management plan, and geotechnical risk assessment have been carried out by TCE consulting Engineers Limited and Central Mining Research Centre (CMFRI), Nagpur. Initially, due to COVID-19 and now due to lack of Environment Clearance (EC), the project is continuing to be on delaying track. The reason being due to the presence of lesser manpower as per requirement. RFQ for the equipment regarding cavern storage and the pipeline is expected in March-2021.
Major equipment required is cavern wellheads, product treatment coalescers, seepage water treatment strippers, outlet metering system, vent stack, fire fighting pumps, Jockey pump, firewater reservoirs, transformers, compressed air system, mounded storage bullets, unloading arms, LPG booster pumps, sea-water heat exchanger, seawater pumps, chilling pump.

The Risk Assessment (RA), disaster management plan and geotechnical risk assessment has been carried out by TCE consulting Engineers Limited and Central Mining Research Centre (CMFRI), Nagpur. However, the project is getting delayed with a huge difference as initially, the completion date was Q4:2022 but now it is anticipated to be complete by Q4:2024. This is due to delay in Basic Design Engineering (BDE) work and also due to COVID-19. RFQs for equipment regarding cavern and pipeline are now expected to be released in Q1:2021.
Major equipments required are: cavern wellheads, product treatment coalescers, seepage water treatment strippers, outlet metering system, vent stack, fire fighting pumps, Jockey pump, firewater reservoirs, transformers, compressed air system, mounded storage bullets, unloading arms, LPG booster pumps, sea-water heat exchanger, seawater pumps, chilling pump.

Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited is getting delayed in coming out with RFQs for the PMC contractor for storage of 1,00,000 MTPA of imported Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in unlined rock caverns near Mangalore to maintain the supply chain to rail/road tankers or to export through ship tankers. The proposed strategic storage comprises of three components namely Storage Cavern, Pipeline, and Jetty. The underground storage cavern for Propane will have a capacity of 40,000 MTPA and that of Butane of 60,000 MTPA. Moreover, the Jetty and Cavern will be connected by 9 km long 24 inches diameter pipeline for carrying heated Propane and Butane. Above ground facilities at cavern site: 2 cavern well heads; 2 product treatment coalescers; 2 seepage water treatment strippers; 1 outlet metering system; 1 vent stack; 3 fire fighting pumps; one jockey pump; 2 fire water reservoirs; voltage transformers; 1 emergency generators, a compressed air system; LPG Mounded Storage Bullets (6 No’s 1400 MT Each); technical building (Process and control system and electrical power distribution).
