Preamble The Oil Scenario !!

• Almost all easy oil has been discovered.
• Future potential in logistically difficult areas
  and in DEEP Waters.
• No major oil find in recent times.
• Indigenous production at plateau stage.
• Renewal Energy is need of the hour.
• Oil Prices are Soaring

OIL PRODUCTION And PRICE Worldwide
4
Energy Demand

• Demand for Total Energy from all Sources is
  increasing

5
Energy Resources

• Fossil Fuels .... Coal, Oil Gas
• Fossil Fuel Based ...Coal Gas, CBM
• Alternative Sources.Hydro, Nuclear
• Bio-sourcesWood, Ethanol, bio-fuels,
• Renewable Solar, Wind, Ocean

6
Percentage Contribution by Different Sources of
Energy.
7
The Imperative

• It has become necessary for all individuals,
  Companies and Institutions to look for
  alternative to oil, preferably from renewal
  energy sources

8

• ONGCs pursuit for alternate Energy Sources An
  Introduction

9
Introduction

• ONGC is the largest EP company in the country
  engaged in oil exploration and production in
  India and abroad.
• Exploration, drilling, production and processing
  of oil is an energy intensive activity.
• Energy for our need at present is obtained from
  SEB or self generation

10
In the direction of Wind

• We are setting up a 50 MW Wind power Project in
  Gujarat State to meet our internal demand at
  various oil producing installations.

11
Why Wind Energy Options

• Solar Energy Thermal or Electric
• Wind Energy
• Geothermal Steam or Power
• Ocean Tidal, Wave, Thermal

12
Why Wind Power for ONGC?

• Gujarat has good Wind potential and has Large
  Number of oil installation.
• ONGC buys power at more than Rs. 4 Wind power
  cost / KwH Rs 2
• Good SEB TD network for wheeling of power.
• Availability of Land

13
ONGC in Wind Power

• Therefore ONGC decided to go for wind power to
  replace SEB power.
• Capacity of 50 MW is as per demand
• Concept of turn key project.
• Includes 10 year OM

14
ONGC Wind Power - Features

• Project to include Land, equipments OM
  charges.
• Size, Type of Technology etc. left to bidder to
  decide.
• Site within state to be as per bidder.
• Pre-bid discussions to understand their
  requirement.

15
Project Details

• Selection of EPC contractor through open
  competitive bidding.
• Evaluation based on cost of generation (Rs./KwH)
• Evaluation included OM Costs for 10 years.
• Minimum OM Charges pre-defined.

16
ONGC in Wind Power Project details

• Machines 34 Numbers of 1.5 MW
• Tower 78 Meters high steel towers
• Site Near Bhuj in Gujarat
• Wheeling To ONGC installations.

17
F.R. - Features

• PLF About 24
• Wind Speed 8-10 meters per second
• Technology Latest
• Machine Size Choice of bidder.
• Financial All benefits considered.
• Use In house for ONGC

18
Status
The work has been Completed and 10 out of 34
machines producing power which is being wheeled.
Rest are awaiting grid connection.
19
Issues Discussed Addressed

• Minimum Generation Guarantee
• OM of complete power plant
• Insurance Policies
• Coordination with State electricity board
• Other Concerns

20
Concerns Monthly Generation
5.79
Lakh Units
1.07
KwH/Machine
21
Concerns

• Normal Variation in Generation
• Breakdown affecting Generation
• Less Generation due to less Wind
• Surplus Generation due to good wind
• (No banking beyond one month in Gujarat state)

22
Concerns

• Availability and Reliability of Grid
• Grid Failure
• Wheeling and banking agreements
• Social Concerns / Myths
• Coordination with multiple agencies.

23
Conclusion

• Wind energy is one of the best, economical,
  technology tested, environment friendly clean
  source of energy, best alternate option for
  medium term requirements.

24

• We have taken many steps to improve the energy
  productivity and efficiency in oil exploration.
• We stand committed to take many more innovative
  steps to improve the energy effectiveness in
  times to come in our EP business using renewal
  energy sources.
