SMALL SCALE LNG IN INDIA

• Small-scale LNG (ssLNG) has emerged as a viable option for serving end users in remote areas and places that are not connected to the main pipeline infrastructure. In 2020, nearly 100,000 mt of LNG was supplied through road tankers to the existing liquid to compressed natural gas (LCNG) stations and other remote industrial consumers from Dahej, Ennore and Kochi terminals.
• Currently, LNG is being supplied to nearly 50 industrial/LCNG operators from the existing terminals. The total LNG output from the eight truck loading facilities at the LNG terminals is 0.4 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). Under an ssLNG network, LNG is ferried in containers by road or rail (or on waterways) from LNG import terminals and is re-gasified at consumer sites.
• In January 2021, Shell launched its first ssLNG supply project in India, a truck loading unit at its LNG terminal in Hazira, Gujarat. While gas customers in industrial clusters are expected to be the primary beneficiaries, ssLNG will also support market seeding and the development of recently licensed city gas distribution (CGD) areas that are not yet connected by pipelines. Besides, innovative supply solutions such as “LNG by trucks” are expected to play a pivotal role in the development of gas markets across the country, including in the hinterland.
• In the coming years, the ssLNG market is poised to grow on the back of support from the government and significant demand from the CGD sector. At least 7-10 mtpa of LNG demand is expected to come from the ssLNG segment by 2025. In terms of infrastructure, around 15 truck loading bays, meant to send out 0.75 mtpa of LNG, are coming up in the country.to With these, the number of truck loading facilities in the country will go up to 26, making it possible to send out a total of 1.15 mtpa of LNG in near future.
• Shell plans to have an LNG truck loading unit, and supply LNG loaded on trucks to industrial units such as power plants, and fertiliser and petrochemical plants. Multiple truck loading bays are also planned to be added in the next phase of the Karaikal LNG terminal. Moreover, plans to develop a network of LCNG/LNG fuelling stations along the 6,000 km long Golden Quadrilateral highways are also being chalked out. This move would help in building an effective ecosystem for LNG-fuelled vehicles in the country.
• The mission of this one-day virtual conference is to discuss the emerging trends and recent developments in the ssLNG segment, identify the upcoming opportunities in the LCNG, truck loading and bunkering segments, highlight the experience of key stakeholders, and assess the demand potential from key industrial segments. The conference will also provide a platform to showcase the recent advancements and innovations in technology and equipment.

STORAGE IN OIL AND GAS

• India presents a growing market for bulk liquids, led by petroleum products, petrochemicals and chemicals. Being a consumption-driven market, significant investments are being made in the storage segment, primarily led by oil marketing companies.
• A number of storage structures have been built or are being built by oil and gas companies to store domestically produced and imported crude oil, petroleum products and natural gas. As of August 2021, the total installed capacity of refineries across the country stood at 249.9 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa). With regard to the storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG), the total operating LNG capacity in India stands at 42.5 mmtpa as of 2021. Besides, the major ports have a cumulative petroleum, oil and lubricants (POL) storage capacity of about 505 million tonnes (mt). The total handling capacity increased by about 60 per cent from 2015-16 to 2019-20.
• There is also increased focus on automation and digitalisation of storage facilities. IT-based solutions such as supervisory control and data acquisition systems, flow meters and remote sensors are being deployed for real-time monitoring and control.
• Going forward, capacity expansions at LNG terminals, strategic crude oil reserves, CNG stations and refineries are expected to create opportunities for storage infrastructure in the country. The capacity of LNG terminals is expected to increase from 42.5 mmtpa at present to over 70 mmtpa during 2024-25, assuming that all the planned terminals come on stream. India may also explore the development of underground gas reserves to shield itself from supply disruptions. Besides, the growing investments in domestic E&P activity and rising imports are expected to create new demand for storage infrastructure in the country.
• The mission of this one-day virtual conference is to highlight the emerging opportunities in the crude oil and gas storage segment in India, examine the impact of Covid-19, identify the key issues and challenges, and discuss the role of digitalisation and automation. The conference will also showcase some of the key existing and upcoming storage facilities and provide a platform to showcase recent advancements and innovations in technology and equipment.
