INTRODUCTION
• CHT was established in 1987 as a specialized agency of petroleum industry to assess futuristic requirements, acquire, develop and adopt technologies in the field of refinery processes, petroleum products, additives, storage and handling of crude oil products and gases.
• It is an advisory body to implement scientific and technological programs for the oil sector.
• It acts as a forum for sharing technical information amongst the refineries.
• The institute is also carrying out Integrated Refinery Business Improvement Programme (IRBIP), a special study through Shell GSI in four refineries.
VISION
• Development of indigenous capabilities to attain technological competence and self-reliance in the Hydrocarbon Sector.
MISSION
• Assess futuristic technology requirement for acquisition, development and up-gradation.
• Function as the executive wing of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas to advise and implement the scientific technological programmes for the oil Industry.
• Assess the operational performance of the refineries and develop programmes in consultation with the industry for improvement.
• Project proposal evaluation and appraisal.
• Promote dissemination of information and develop a centralized pool of data & information in specific fields for use by the oil industry.
• Participation in various Expert Committees.
FORMATION
The Government Technology Policy Statement and Declaration aiming at development of our own capabilities to attain technological competence and self reliance in strategic and critical areas needed the following for achieving excellence and progress in petroleum refining:
• Create an environment for technological improvement and to identify areas / missions where technological improvements is needed.
• Establish Scientific Advisory Committees for interaction and firm linkages with R&D and Academic Institutions.
• Draw action plans for technology up-gradation through collaborative projects.
• Project proposal evaluation and appraisal
• Simplify procedures for according various clearances / approvals for mission status projects
• Create Advance Technology Cells
Priority for pursuing the above decisions and objectives necessitated creation of a dedicated technology cell - Centre for High Technology by Ministry of Petroleum & Natural GAS on 27th May 1987.
FUNCTIONING
• CHT functions under the overall guidance and supervision of the Governing Council.
• The Governing Council is headed by the Secretary, Government of India, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoP&NG) as the Chairman and all Joint Secretaries and Advisers in the MoP&NG and Chief Executives of IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, CPCL, NRL, MRPL, GAIL, EIL, IIP, OIDB as members.
• The Executive Director of CHT is the Member Secretary of the Governing Council.
• The expenditure of CHT is funded through grants from OIDB.
