1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

PREFACE

Marketing Terminal at Amausi, Lucknow (UP) (the Terminal) was commissioned in 2002,

which is about 6.6 km from Aviation Fuel Station at Chaudhary Charan Singh International

Airport, Lucknow (the AFS).

Currently ATF input to the Terminal is through Rail from various refineries and ATF supply to

the AFS is being done through Tank Trucks (TT) from the Terminal. About 15 TTs/ day of ATF

are presently being loaded from the Terminal.

2. IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT

(i) PROJECT PROPOSAL

M/sIndian Oil Corporation Ltd. is proposing to Laying of dedicated ATF Pipeline between

Lucknow Marketing Terminal and Aviation Fuel Station AFS at Lucknow Airport.

PROJECT PROPONENT

Name - Mr. Vivek Manjeet

ii. NATURE OF THE PROJECT

The project is for Laying of dedicated ATF Pipeline between Lucknow Marketing Terminal and

Aviation Fuel Station AFS at Lucknow Airport.

The project falls under 6(a) Oil & gas transportation pipe line (crude and refinery/

petrochemical as per the EIA Notification, 2006

iii. NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND JUSTIFICATION

Due to increasing demand of ATF at the AFS, a need was felt for having a pipeline between

the Terminal and the AFS.

Laying dedicated ATF pipeline between the Terminal and the AFS with following

justification:

a) Lucknow Airport being a major international Airport in U.P, it is expected that its ATF

requirement would increase substantially.

b) It is understood that Airport Authority of India (AAI) is proposing to develop/ revamp

the facilities at Lucknow Airport to meet increasing aircraft movements. It has also

been advised that AAI may develop fuel tank farm at Lucknow on open access basis. Hence

having pipeline connectivity would provide a strategic edge to IOC in positioning of ATF at



3

Lucknow Airport in long term and would also help IOC garner increased ATF volumes.

The proposed pipeline would be designed such that it would be feasible to provide

connectivity to future tank farm.

c) Pipeline transport is a much safer operation compared to road transportation./ The

manpower presently engaged for TT loading and unloading could be re-deployed for

other works, thereby resulting in further savings. This would help in achieving improvement

in operations.

iv. DEMAND SUPPLY GAP

On query by PAG, Division has confirmed IOC's estimated future requirement of ATF for the

AFS based on Marketing HO(AVN) as under:

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

i. TYPE OF THE PROJECT INCLUDING INTERLINKED AND INTERDEPENDENT PROJECTS, IF

ANY

The Project involves Laying of dedicated ATF Pipeline between Lucknow marketing Terminal

and Aviation Fuel Station (AFS) at Lucknow Airport. There is no interlinked project or

interdependent project.

ii. LOCATION - PIPELINE ROUTE

The Pipeline would originate from the terminal and after traversing a length of 0.6 km, the



4

pipeline route would take eastern direction and would follow an independent route

through cultivated lands for about 1.7 km till Canal with adjoining road (Canal road).

Beyond Canal road, the route would traverse for about 1.3 km mainly through Government

lands and enters the Airport boundary after crossing the Lucknow-Kanpur NH-25 road.

Upon reaching the AFS boundary wall (inside the Airport), the pipeline would traverse along

the Airport boundary wall for about 2.5 km to reach the delivery point.

The terrain is predominantly flat and there are no major undulations in the proposed

route. The pipeline traverses mostly through agricultural land, Government land, National

Highway Authority of India (NHAI) corridor and AAI corridor. There is no reserve forest or

social forestry along the route. The entire pipeline route falls in Lucknow District(Starting at

village-Amausi and end in village-Chilawan. Route map and key plan of 10 km study area of

the proposed pipeline is given in Figure 1 and 2.

iii. Details of alternative site considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site,

particularly the environmental consideration gone into should be highlighted

Alternate routes are examined and finalized the present route based on least disturbance to

the environment, human habitations, forest, and aquatic body and avoid sanctuary,

archeological monuments and other sensitive locations. The route is optimized and finalized

considering the above factors and connectivity between supply and demand point.

iv. SIZE OR MAGNITUDE OF OPERATION

Laying of 8.625" OD x 0.25" WT, API 5L- X 46 grade pipeline for about 6.6 km from Lucknow

marketing Terminal to the Aviation Fuel Station (AFS) at Lucknow Airport

v. PROJECT DESCRIPTION WITH PROCESS DETAILS

Project Description

The laying of the proposed pipeline system would broadly involve following activities:

a) Installation of 2 (1 running + 1 standby) motor driven Mainline Pumping Units (MLPUs) at

the Terminal.

b) Laying of 8.625" OD x 0.25" WT, API 5L- X 46 grade pipeline for about 6.6 km from the

Terminal to the AFS.

c) Installation of delivery facilities at the AFS.

d) OFC based network which would enable pipeline SCADA to be connected to both ends i.e.

the Terminal and the AFS.

e) Cathodic protection system.

f) Modifications would be carried out at both pumping and delivery ends in the existing

facilities for Control Room, Motor Control Centre (MCC), etc.

g) No new tank has been envisaged at IOC Amausi Terminal and AFS at Lucknow Airport.

The present ATF tankages at the Terminal are 2 x 3600 KL. Further to meet the increasing

requirements of ATF, 1 x 1800 KL SKO tank (out of 3 x 1800 KL SKO tanks) is being reallocated

for ATF service. Another 1 x 1800 KL SKO tank would also be converted to ATF service in

future, if required.

IOC has 4 x 200 KL ATF tanks in the AFS. Space is not available at the / existing location for

development of additional tankages; hence the pipeline has been designed to operate at a

flow rate of 70 KL/hr.

The pipeline would be operating at 70 KL hr for 8 hours/ day (single shift) in Phase-1, i.e., till a

volume requirement of 0.15 MMTPA is achieved. Beyond that, it would operate at 100 KL

hour for 8 hours/ day (single shift) in Phase-2 till a volume requirement of 0.21 MMTPA is

achieved (by 2030-31). It would be feasible to receive product in the ATF tanks of the AFS at

100 KL/hr. To achieve volume beyond 0.21 MMTPA in subsequent years, the Pipeline would

be operated beyond single shift. No additional CAPEX would be required for achieving the

increase capacity.

Project Plan

To accommodate proposed pipeline pumping facilities, available plot measuring

80 m x 80 m has been identified inside the Terminal.

For housing pipeline receipt facilities, a stretch of 45 m x 14 m inside existing IOC's facilities at

the AFS has been identified. After taking in to account of inter distance requirement as per

OISD 141 of 16m from boundary wall, the available space for housing pipeline facilities would

be only 13 m x 14 m. In order to use the available space effectively and accommodate all the

station piping facilities, certain modification such as deepening of fire water pond etc, needs

to be done. Further for housing electrical and T&l equipments, it is proposed to either

construct a new building in place of existing record room and parking shed or utilizing existing

office building for housing the equipments and building a new administration building in place

of record room and parking shed. This would be decided suitably during the execution.

vi. RAW MATERIAL REQUIREMENT

ATF Supply To The Terminal Through Pipeline

The Terminal is connected to Gawaria-Lucknow branch pipeline of Barauni-Kanpur

Pipeline (BKPL). However currently only MS, SKO and HSD is delivered to the Terminal through

BKPL.

Investment proposal for extension of Mathura - Tundla Pipeline (MTPL) to Gawaria T-

point has been already approved by the Board in Mar'2018 which envisages re-alignment of

product sourcing of Kanpur & Lucknow with Mathura Refinery (MR) in place of current supply

ex Barauni Refinery (BR) with future connectivity as indicated below.

Upon commissioning of the MTPL extension pipeline (expected project completion by

Sep'2021), MR products including ATF would be pumped to the Terminal.

ix. Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their

management/disposal

During construction phase vary marginal quantity of Solid waste from Temporary Camp site

and commercial waste during cutting and electrofusion, welding of pipeline will be generated

which will be disposed of as per standard available practice and guideline. Soil Restoration

(Top soil) will be stored separately and managed.

During Operation sludge waste generated during pigging will be given to SPCB Approved

Vendors

Domestic Effluent generated during construction phase will be managed through mobile

toilets. No waste water will be generated from the proposed Laying of Pipeline as it is only

concerned with Transportation.

Pipeline transport is a much safer operation compared to road transportation. /The man

power p resent ly engaged for TT loading and unloading could be re-deployed for other

works, there by resulting in further savings. This would help in achieving improvement in

operations. Lucknow Airport being a major international Airport in U.P, it is expected that its

ATF requirement would increase substantially. It is understood that Airport Authority of India

(AAI) is proposing to develop/ revamp the facilities at Lucknow Airport to meet

increasing aircraft movements.

Proposed ATF Pipeline is not passing through passing through national parks
