The Institute of Engineering and Ocean Technology (IEOT) was founded in 1983 for innovation, development and acceleration of the future plans of ONGC to achieve self- reliance in technology. The Institute has developed expertise in core fields of Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Risk & Reliability Engineering, Materials & Corrosion Engineering. Alternate Energy section was set up in 2012.
Highlights (2022-23):
1. Significant Projects:
High impact projects of IEOT during 2022-23 are given below:
- Structural integrity assessment (SIA) of 21 platforms based on requirement received from Offshore Assets & Offshore Engineering services, which are of vital importance in timely execution of various Offshore projects for production enhancement.
- Life extension study of 17 platforms referred by IMR.These studies are helpful in getting regulatory clearance from OISD for continued usage of these platforms for oil & gas production.
- Soil investigation of 12 offshore locations. Inputs of these reports are vital for design and successful installation of jacket platforms.
- For identifying optimum dose of Oil Corrosion Inhibitor(OCI)/Gas Corrosion Inhibitor(GCI), Evaluation & efficacy study of Corrosion Inhibitor at high temperature for Panna - Mukta Complex – Bassein & Satellite Asset
- Completed HAZOP studies of 12 facilities and QRA studies of 14 facilities for Offshore & Onshore installations for the safety enhancement & regulatory compliance.
2. Technologies upgraded/ inducted:
- Upgradation of SACS Software: SACS Software has been upgraded to new edition SACS CONNECT V16.0. Upgraded version of software comprises of latest codes for analysis along-with enhancement in user interface.
- Automation of M&C Laboratory with state-of-the-art Abrasive Cutting Machine for metallographic samples: IEOT has procured Abrasive Cutting Machine for metallographic samples with automatic cutting provision.
- Upgradation of PHAST/SAFETI software : A new version of PHAST/SAFETI software (from version 8.61 to 8.7) with additional features installed for performance enhancement of Quantitative Risk Assessment studies includes CFD capabilities for modelling Jet Fires.
- Digital Ultrasonic cleaner for laboratory up-gradation: IEOT procured a digital Ultrasonic cleaner for laboratory up-gradation.
