Our planet has changed in ways that has a profound impact on all of humankind. The damage is for all to see. Hundreds of thousands of lives lost, ecosystems destroyed, species driven to extinction, increasing frequency of natural calamities, social unrest.

The earth as we know it is dying. It’s time to reverse the trend, reverse the damage and embrace sustainability. As one of the world’s largest energy behemoths ONGC has a vital role to play Maharatna ONGC has been steering the movement of the United Nations global compact program in India. Since the beginning, ONGC demonstrates its commitment towards sustainability through carbon management and sustainability group, which has a wide and encompassing mandate.

As a fitting commitment of company’s motto of growing green, we have adopted three important policies: Sustainable development policy, sustainable water management policy and greening the vendor chain policy. Further with the commitment to sustainable growth, CMNAC group of ONGC and ONGC energy center have undertaken a number of projects on renewable energy, be it wind, solar, solar thermal, tidal and also number of initiatives has been taken on mitigation of GHG emission.

Climate change is a global challenge and is considered the greatest sustainability threat of the 21st century. Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions considered the most potent cause of climate change automated mainly from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas.

Sustainable growth requires companies to track their performances and ensure that their actions do reduce their GHG emissions. ONGC’s approach towards sustainable growth is primarily through carbon

Management and low carbon growth. ONGC is inspired by the Prime Minister’s National Action plan on climate change. ONGC’s working model of achieving sustainable development through carbon management has been a driver of change in many sectors of the Indian Industry. On the 53rd foundation day of ONGC in 2008, ONGC adopted the mission of attaining carbon neutrality in a sustainable manner.

The first step was to develop the carbon footprint, that is, a list of the sources of GHG emissions and their quantities and then develop an action plan of mitigation. ONGC has completed its corporate wide carbon footprints study, covering 427 facilities and has devised a detailed action plan for carbon neutrality. mainstream is considered an excellent option for sustainable growth. Across ONGC, there is a drive for implementing sustainable gas flare reduction projects. An important contributor towards the low carbon growth is the arrest of fugitive emission under the global methane initiative partnership. ONGC is a trailblazer among the non-American oil companies way back in 2007, when it had signed an MoU with United States Environment Protection agency to undertake field based leak detection and measurement of fugitive methane in its production facilities. A core team has completed leak detection and measurement of hydrocarbon at most of the ONGC key installations. Our expertise is recognized outside. The core team has helped GAIL India limited in leak detection survey at its Vijaipur Gas Plant.

ONGC’s formal journey towards carbon management began in 2005. The potential of the Kyoto protocol and the clean development mechanism under Kyoto protocol to combat climate change through GHG mitigation is well understood by the company’s top management. ONGC’s success in CDM project development is unprecedented in India and is one of the greatest in the world. ONGC has 12 registered CDM projects with 3 more due for registration. The biggest success… the registration of 726 mega watt gas based power Project of ONGC Tripura Power Company, which will fetch a whopping 1.6 million

Carbon credits per annum for over 10 years has been fated by President Pranab Mukherjee and is lauded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during inauguration of the second phase commission of OTPC.

The journey is continuing unabated.

ONGC’s quest towards low carbon growth goes beyond its organizational boundaries. As a good corporate citizen, ONGC has steered and sponsored PetroTech 2010 and PetroTech 2014 as carbon neutral events.

The greatest impact of climate change will be on water and availability of fresh water to industry is a major sustainability challenge for all industries. ONGC sustainability pursuit includes sustainable water management as well as through four R doctrine: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Replenish. ONGC has started a comprehensive water mapping of its onshore facilities. The feasibility of setting up a 20 MLD sea water desalination plant at Uran Processing complex to meet its fresh water requirements is being studied. On the re-cycle front, ONGC’s Mehsana asset has established infrastructure to Recycle drilling fluid to control the expenses and non-optimal usage of natural resources.

ONGC has entered into the foray of sewage treatment to re-use its waste water. Rain water harvesting is another area where ONGC is working aggressively. Rain Water Harvesting, to store the rain water for ground water recharge or local usage is being practiced along all major work centers of ONGC. ONGC

is actively pursuing research and development activities on low carbon alternatives. A number of MoUs have been signed with global researchers to work on clean energy and low carbon growth. Industrial waste is a bane to all industries, and its management. A key sustainability issue interpreting with the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, ONGC has developed a sustainable waste management policy and program to reduce the overall waste generation and derive value out of it. ONGC took a monumental leap in the 2009-2010, when it commenced communicating its environmental performance. ONGC is committed to continuing the process of sustainability reporting with incremental coverage of environmental and social performance indicators with increased transparency.

Stakeholders engagement is a regular phenomenon and our materiality issues have been identified and prioritized by such engagements. ONGC is aware of its responsibility as the most valued Maharatna. It has the honorous task of sensitizing its vendors about the virtues of sustainable growth. There is a corporate policy on greening vendor chain with a vision of gradually moving towards having a green procurement policy.

ONGC has adopted the green building concept and is constructing green buildings to house its offices. The buildings are designed on sustainable and environment friendly architectural concept, resulting in environment protection, water conservation, energy efficiency, usage of recycled products and renewable energy.

The green buildings at Mumbai and Dehradun are functional. No wonder, numerous awards and recognitions galore, the numerous initiatives have started giving exemplary results. In 2013-2014, GHG emission is reduced by seven percent by implementing various measures and technological interventions.

We are gradually maturing in the pursuit of sustainable growth of the company. This year we have extended our reporting boundaries of SR to the ONGC Videsh limited and MRPL.

We have developed GHG inventory of the company and now we are in the process of doing the water improvement and developed the data on water consumption of the company. To broaden the horizon of the sustainability of the company, we are focusing on R&D activities for low carbon technology, wind power and solar energy in addition to biomass. ONGC’s leadership believes in transparency, accountability and sustainability. With increased fervour, it is committed to protect this fragile ecosystem, and our home, this beautiful planet EARTH

I would like to thank all the stakeholders for their sustain cooperation and collaboration in the successful journey of ONGC.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
but I have promises to keep
and miles to go, before I sleep
and miles to go, before I sleep.

ONGC Deep Water Saga

ONGC Deep Water Saga

India, the world’s third largest economy and the third highest energy consuming nation. A country was hunger for energy is growing as fast as its economy. A world with a potential to be healthy wealthy and sustainable. The key to that sustainability is abundant clean energy and the answer lies in gas reserves buried deep beneath the sea bed. Our current government is focusing on exploring these reserves in offshore fields of the east coast of India. Today barriers are being broken in offshore exploration techniques. New technologies are making deeper reserves accessible and commercially viable to explore.

The deep water Krishna Godavari basin a pericratonic rift basin along the east coast of India is being explored for its huge potential in gas reserves.

ONGC India’s premiere Oil and Gas exploration company and one of country’s Maharatnas is all set to answer the call of the nation. After having made its marks in the offshore fields of the west coast of

India ONGC has embarked on its most ambitious venture yet Mission Deep Water.

The theater of action is set amidst the promising eastern offshore fields of Vashishta and S1. In a little over a year’s time the daily gas supply is estimated to increase ¾ to 6 million cubic meters per day or almost 2 billion cubic meters annually with an expected ultimate recovery of around 16 billion cubic meters from Vashishta and S1.

ONGC will continue to maintain a leadership position in the oil exploration and energy arena. This cause for innovative technology and immense financial muscle. A network of subsea structures involving a chain field architecture. Miles and miles of pipeline and an onshore terminal in Andhra Pradesh.

Partnering ONGC in this subsea endeavour is a consortium of L&T, Hydrocarbon engineering and McDermott International. Two Giants with global expertise in the oil and gas project industry. They will be

supported by a number of domain specialists including GE Wabco Gray for critical subsea equipments while Technip will construct the onshore terminal at Odalarevu in Andhra Pradesh. Mega ambition requires mega scale facilities and L&T's state of the art modular fabrication yard at Kattupalli near Chennai offers just that.

It is for the first time in India that a spool base and reeling facility for subsea pipelines has been set up at Kattupalli. Once the project is operational, the gas they collect will travel through offshore and onshore rigid pipelines before it is processed. The onshore terminal will control the sub-sea activity through a sophisticated umbilical that connects the control center with structures on the sea bed. The Vashishta and S1 development project adds another dimension to two key Central government initiatives.

At Kattupalli, we combine global expertise with local manufacturing capabilities To MAKE IN INDIA,

The project also ensures the development of unique skill sets In high technology offshore engineering.

This is just the beginning of ONGC’s deep water SAGA. By the end of 2019 the company’s next gas production project will deliver an additional 16 million cubic meters per day, taking the combined output upto 22 million. It is our Prime Minister’s vision to reduce national oil imports by 10% by 2022 and fill the gap with locally sourced gas energy Government incentives in the form of better sale prices for deep

water gas as per ONGC.

On to intentify its exploration and production activities. In September 2016 ONGC fast track the monetization process by linking a well in the upcoming Vashishta and S1 development project.

This is just the beginning of a mission to achieve abundant cleaner fuel and complete energy security for India.A mission that ONGC and a supportive government will achieve together MISSION DEEP WATER… Energy for all
