By the time this issue reaches the hands of our esteemed readers, the festival of
lights will have gone by and the ring of New Year bells would be in the breeze. In
terms of thought, action and spirituality this is perhaps, the most blessed time
of the year, soaked in hope and high spirits. The celebration of Diwali is an
expression of the innate human desire for progress and prosperity with a strong
belief in divine intervention for success.
On this note, the editorial team of Hamara EIL wishes every member of the EIL
Parivaar a very bright and joyful journey along with the organization, illuminated
with the shining luster of brilliance, all reflected from the sheer hard work of its
dedicated officers.
Looking back at the quarter that was, we have definitely inched forward, as is
evident from the sections on New Beginnings ,the Taste of Success and special
features in this issue. This cup is brimming with news on awards, individual
achievements, training & development and Company representation in a vibrant
spectrum of events. Our dynamic leadership has steered us well in the sea of
business tumult we could all, but manage to confine the magnanimous essence
of that motivational leadership in a few words.
Assertively, inches do need to be converted to miles today. Let us hope to grow by
leaps and bounds in the present quarter and those to come. As the year draws to
a close, it is time to ponder and evaluate our progress, resolving to scale greater
heights tomorrow.

and the Auditors' Report which has already been circulated to you, as read.
Your company's formidable track record of five decades across the hydrocarbon value chain continues to
inspire its workforce to deliver excellence and to work towards long term sustainable growth of your
company. To commemorate the golden journey of your company's glorious achievements
a'Commemorative Postage Stamp' and 'Coffee Table Book' were released by Shri Narendra Modi, the

economy. Geo-political tensions in Ukraine and the
Middle East and the debt-repayment crisis in
Greece dominated the world economic climate. In
spite of these adverse conditions, according to the
World Economic Outlook, the global economy
maintained its growth rate of 3.4% in 2014. The
year also saw the Chinese economy slowing to its
lowest growth rate in the last 30 years to 7.4 per
cent. According to IMF, the global economy is
projected to grow at 3.5% and 3.8% in 2015 and
2016, respectively.
In India, 2014 was a year that saw the new

FY2015 compared to 6.9 % in FY 2014. For the first
time, the Indian economy crossed the threshold
US$ 2 trillion mark in FY 2015.

Looking ahead, the Indian economy is set for a

sustained and steady growth. World Bank as well
as IMF have forecast the Indian economy to grow at
more than 7.5 % during the next two years. With
initiatives like MAKE IN INDIA and DIGITAL INDIA,
the government has signaled its intent to place
India back on the global manufacturing and digital
map.

` 5/- per share) for the year 2014-15. This is in

context of the Abu Dhabi Office. It speaks about the latest progress
made by the Hub - especially, some of its laudable achievements which
the entire EIL fraternity should know about. In the past, EIL was more
focused on refineries within the country and the overseas business
model was still in nascent stages. Bidding was done from the office in
India and personnel were mobilised overseas after securing jobs.
However, this model did not address a few critical constraints such as:

Hydrocarbon Landscape of UAE

United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven Emirates viz. Abu Dhabi,
Ajman, Al Fujairah, Dubai, Ras al- Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm alQuwain. An OPEC member since 1967, UAE is one of the most
significant oil producers in the world. According to Oil & Gas Journal
2012 estimates, UAE ranks as the seventh-largest oil producer in the
world with proven reserves of approx. 97.8 billion barrels. A majority
(approximately 94 percent) of these reserves are located in the
Emirates of Abu Dhabi. Beyond its vast oil reserves, UAE also boasts of
sizeable natural gas reserves. According to CEDIGAZ, UAE ranks
seventeenth in the world with proven reserves of 215 Tcf.

EILs brand visibility

Continuous engagement with key customers for enlistment and
tenders/jobs thereof.
Mobilisation of EIL personnel in minimum time.
Hence, the EIL Management deliberated and decided to set up a hub at
Abu Dhabi to address the entire Middle East Market. The objective of
this hub is having a self-sustaining entity at Abu Dhabi to identify and
secure business opportunities, serving customers in areas such as
FEED, PMC and other specialised engineering services.

The state owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) was
established in 1971 and since then it has steadily broadened its activity
by establishing companies/ subsidiaries and creating an integrated oil
and gas industry in Abu Dhabi. Today, the company manages and
oversees oil production of more than 2.7 million barrels per day and
ranks among the top ten Oil & Gas companies in the world.

In line with the Management objectives, Abu Dhabi hub was

established in mid-December 2014 where from EIL intends to build on
its experience in the Middle East and continue to focus on projects in
United Arab Emirates (U.A.E), Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Saudi
Arabia and other countries in the region based on various project
opportunities. The new EIL hub office was officially inaugurated by the
present C&MD on January 17, 2015.
The EIL Hub is situated in the prime location of Abu Dhabi which
neighbors Oil & Gas Majors and leading contractors/ consultants. The
office has been created with modern furnishing and facilities having a
seating arrangement for about 100 personnel and is being
equipped with state of the art IT infrastructure, software, videoconferencing, communication systems etc. It is projected to deploy
more than 200 personnel in UAE including 100 in EIL Abu Dhabi Hub
by December 2015.

EIL in UAE

It is also noteworthy that EIL Abu Dhabi has obtained ISO 9001:2008
certifications independently and has been HSE certified (ISO
14001:2004 & OHSAS 18001:2007) as well.

EIL has been providing services in UAE for more than 2 decades. In
2001, EIL established its Branch Office in Abu Dhabi. Since then, EIL
has an extensive track record of providing consultancy services
including specialized services to various Oil & Gas companies in UAE
particularly, ADNOC Group of Companies - GASCO, ADCO, ADMAOPCO, ADGAS, BOROUGE, NPCC etc.

With the new Abu Dhabi Hub, EIL is able to showcase increased
capability to the clients and is in the process of being considered as a
serious FEED/ Detailed Engineering player for larger projects. It will also

Today, a major portion of the revenue from EILs overseas business is
secured from UAE and to further realize the vision and growth plans of
EIL, it becomes necessary to develop a long term sustainable business
model for increasing the contribution from overseas markets, especially
the Middle East. Considering the drop in crude oil prices and slowdown
in major CAPEX projects, EIL Abu Dhabi is also exploring the possibility
of securing jobs from infrastructure/water sectors. Shri Sanjay Gupta,
C&MD, EIL during his last visit inspired all personnel at EIL Abu Dhabi
to impart their best and work dedicatedly to procure a major share of
business from the overseas markets. Events have unfolded favorably so
far after the hub got established and it would not be far when the
Managements vision would be realized in totality.

Special Feature
Successful Commissioning of 42 inch re- routed SBHT line
It was a moment of joy, relief and sense of achievement when
EIL/ONGC team achieved the commissioning of 42 re-routed
South Bassein Hazira Trunk line at Umbharat, Surat of ONGC
well within contractual completion period with a new SV station
approx 1 Km from sea shore on July 31, 2015.
ONGC has been operating this 220 km long 42 SBHT gas
pipeline since 1995 which originates from BCPA-2 offshore
platform and terminates at Hazira Plant. This pipeline is the
lifeline of northern and western India since it feeds the HBJ
(Hazira Bijaipur Jagdishpur) Pipeline network of GAIL. Over the
years, section of pipeline of approx length of 2 km was washed
off into the sea from the shore and was exposed at Umbharat
beach (public beach) near Surat. The exposed pipeline hence
was facing direct stresses of tidal influence, harsh cyclonic
storms and high water currents. Catastrophic risks were
involved due to the possibility of bursting or leakage of pipeline especially at IJ location - during harsh spring tides when the line
was submerged in tidal waters and was oscillating with waves
during the high tides cycle which repeats every 12 hours.

Waves acting on the exposed section of 42 SBHT Pipeline during onset of High tide.

Hydrocarbon engineering group ) along with their other group

agencies like LNT Geo structure ( for coffer Dam ) , LNT HCP ( for
pipeline work ) and sub agencies such as M/s TDW ( for Hot
tapping and Stoppling ) , M/s Trenchless ( for 1.1 Km HDD in
forest area ) executed the job. Considering delivery of long lead
42 inch NACE pipes / LR bends etc and 16 inch NACE valves ,
the completion of line independently was scheduled by July 05,
2015 and Shutdown requirement of 25 days was envisaged in
July 2015 for tie-ins and commissioning.

Even though various temporary remedial measure were

undertaken by M/s ONGC for protection of exposed pipeline in
the past, but due to harsh environmental conditions the same
did not sustain and the situation worsened and became
alarming in August, 2014.

However this challenging job including stoppling, depressurisation / de-commissioning of the portion to de discarded
and commissioning of the re-routed line of 2 kms with Golden
tie- in was completed on July 31, 2015 as schedule but with a
reduced shut down period of 20 days which was taken by ONGC
on July 11, 2015. The work was challenging considering rough
high tides and the intervening monsoon period.

ONGC sought EILs expertise in dealing with the situation & EIL
was awarded Project Management Consultancy Job. Though
temporary remedial measures were explored, in view of high risk
involvement, life threat, and inventory loss and environmental
effects due to sour gas service- , EIL team - after the site visit in
August 14 - suggested that permanent re-routing of the exposed
section of SBHT pipeline will be the lasting solution.

Special Construction Techniques followed to Mitigate

Challenges in this project:

The schematic basically engineered by EIL is depicted below.

Coffer Dam:

Broadly it consists of creating one tie- in point in offshore ( HK 01 ) before the LFP and another in on shore ( HK -02 ) after the
existing SV station. The re-routed new 42 inch line was
approx 1.9 kms and envisaged initial 400 mtrs pipeline laying
through open cut method in the intertidal zone + 1.1 Kms of
HDD to avoid forest land in between and balance 400 mtrs
open cut pipeline with New SV station before the on shore hook
up point. Subsequently LTHE was appointed by ONGC as the
LSTK contractor on October 08, 2014 for detailed engineering
and execution of the permanent re-routing of the exposed 42
SBHT pipeline in line with the above scheme. The completion
date for re-routing and commissioning was scheduled on July
31, 2015 as per the awarded contract. M/s LTHE (M/s L&T

Hook up point 1(HK-01) was a challenge, as this location was

under tidal influence and at elevation below Chart datum. As a
construction technique - to perform work on round the clock
basis, a double layer coffer dam, 25 mtrs x 25 mtrs, with sand
in between using sheet piles was created at this location.
Approximately 400 mtrs. Of sheet piling from this offshore area
was also done in the intertidal zone to enable pipeline laying
upto HDD entry. Waller beams and strut were constructed
throughout the length of the coffer dam to achieve stability. Each
sheet pile was 14 mtr long and 0.6 mtrs wide and which were
driven to a depth of approx 10 mtrs on land side ( to enable
gradual slope towards the HDD entry point ) and about 4 mtrs
on the sea side so that that high tide waves could be restricted .
12

Around 2200 nos of sheet piles were used to create this coffer
dam. About 15 nos of Diesel engine driven Dewatering pumps
were continuously deployed for dewatering - using well point
methods and to remove water accumulations / seepages /
splashes within coffer dam area thus making work inside
coffer dam for hot tapping , stoppling and golden tie- ins etc
possible even during tidal variations during the day / night .

Stopple plug was inserted at 2 points in offshore side (for safety

reasons and to hold up inventory in the subsea section intact),
and at 1 point in onshore ( to retain hold up from Hazira plant in
tact), thus isolating the section from process system and release
it for de-commissioning, tie- in and further commissioning.
Mobile Flaring Unit:
After the exiting line was isolated by the above stoppling method,
to de-commission the line, de-pressurisation of the holdup volume
of hydrocarbon gas with H2S content, was required and it was
to be done safely too. To enable this, a mobile skid mounted
flaring unit consisting of a knock out drum / Heater / Pressure
reducing skid and a flare stack of 12 mtrs height with auto
ignition system was installed at HK 02 (onshore) point.

Birds Eye view of a Coffer Dam at HK01 (Offshore Location)

Coffer Dam ensured uninterrupted work at offshore section

throughout the construction season from May 15th to 31st July
15 especially in End June 2015 and July 2015 when the
monsoon season is at its peak in the region.
Hot Tapping And Stopple Plugging Technique :

Mobile Flaring system for de-pressurisation of the

isolated pipeline section required to be cut and discarded

Even while the main gas line is operational, on- line hot tapping
and stopple plug installation technique is used, to isolate
sections of the existing pipeline to perform Tie- ins with the rerouted line.The system consists of Welding Split tee and
carrying out the Hot tapping at identified locations while the 42
inch line is operational @ approx 65 kg pressure. Removal of
coupon and installation of 3 nos stoppling machine was also
done as a pre- shut down activity.

This had the design capacity to handle an inlet pressure of 20

80 kg pressure gas while flaring was done @ 1 bar. Flaring of
hold up volume of the system of pipeline inventory in the section
to be re-routed was done through this and then the section was
inertized (N2 purged) to make sure the line is hydrocarbon free.
Hot tapings to enable Flaring through 10 inch port and also for
N2 vapour purging were also created prior to shut down.

For inserting the stopple and plugging the line, no flow condition
was required and this is when shut down starts.

Thus line was de-commissioned and release for safe cutting.

Cold Cutting:
Pneumatic cold cutting was done to avoid sparking etc. while
cutting the hydrocarbon line - which was operational since last
25- 30 years and which might be still left with some anticipated
condensates. This was done to enable safe isolation of the
existing portion of the line.
Summary:
This project was unique considering the aspect of Pipeline
remedial measures at such a vast scale for the first time in the
country and re-routing of such magnitude were performed on a
critical 42 inch live sour gas pipeline in the intertidal zone that
too in monsoon time. From concept to commissioning this
rectification project is a great learning experience for everyone in
Oil and Gas industry.

Kaleidoscope
Bon Voyage
Life is a journey and we are all travellers......looking to make
that great trip with someone. Journeys are made by the people
you travel with
Few days ago this fancy tagline of a popular airline caught my
attention. Though the pen product of an ad guru intended to
target our emotionally gooey centres; it does have an honest
appeal to it.
Remember the last time you went for a trip; work-related or
recreational? I think you do...you do very well. There is
something about travelling that always has a special address in
our memory lane. Its logical too; break from the mundane
routine...new places...new people.
Something different will always leave a distinctive mark on our
memory slate. Some of the most interesting, life changing and
adventurous experiences in life are residents of that special trip
that you took.
Some long-forgotten faces of people partnering in those hours of
road/rail/flight journeys; some new-found friends lasting a
lifetime; some newly discovered ways of life of a distant land on
a vacation; some old traditions unearthed on a trip taken for
recreation - big or small, old or new, significant or uneventful;
however might you describe the trip that you just took, it will

always feature boldly in the visa of your life.

Travelling far and wide to surprise a loved one; or taking that
same two hour road trip to the same picnic spot every year with
family, every journey is full of a wide range of emotions and it is
indeed marked by the people who accompany us. We buy
souvenirs on a trip to remember it by, but what we dont realise is
that we unknowingly take back a bag full of memories which
lasts a lifetime.
There was beautiful scenery at my place for almost a decade
with an even more beautiful message on it
Happiness is found along the way and not at the end of the
road
So go ahead and travel for travels sake. Simply leave the
mundane in your backyard and walk into a world of newness; a
stunning sunset or a dazzling dawn. Let go of the familiar
confines of home & embark on a journey of untold joys.
Experience a different culture, food, nature in the company of
loved ones or just solitary solitude.
Travel for travels sake.

The Powerful Effect of Noticing Good Things at Work

Over the course of a typical workday, negative and positive
things inevitably happen to you. If youre like most people, you
tend to focus mainly, or even exclusively, on negative
experiences. Theyre what you ruminate over, what you talk to
your friend about as youre driving home, what you discuss with
your partner. It sometimes feels good to talk about the negatives
it feels therapeutic.
If someone were to tell you to focus only on the positive
experiences in your day, you might be annoyed. What most
people dont realize is that positive experiences even small
ones provide you with valuable resources that can be used to
reduce stress, including physical symptoms such as headaches
or muscle tension. They make it easier for you to detach yourself
from work at the end of the day. A team comprising Prof. Joyce E.
Bono of University of Florida and Prof. Theresa M. Glomb of
University of Minnesota learned from its research that thinking
about positive events in a systematic way can be healthy. They
suggest that instead of ruminating about negative things, you try
to savor relive, enjoy, and share the positive events of
your day.

a feedback loop that enhances its impact: people who reflect on

good things that happened during the day are more likely to
share those things with family and friends. Sharing positive
events with others creates connections between people and
bonds them with one another, further reducing stress.
Ultimately, this also improves sleep, which ongoing research
suggests leads to greater alertness and better mood which in
turn leads to more positive things happening the next day.

For most people, this doesnt come naturally. Evolution and the
survival imperative have attuned human beings to pay careful
attention to all things negative; in addition, people quickly
become so accustomed to positives in their environments that
they hardly notice them. But a simple intervention can help
overcome both tendencies.

Other benefits of this easy-to-implement and inexpensive

exercise include potential increases in creativity. Creative
thinking and innovation are enhanced by positive emotions,
especially feelings of contentment and joy. Growth,
development, and forward thinking arise from positive
emotions.

Consider an experiment the research team conducted to study

the workplace effect of whats known as the three good things
intervention. The team worked with employees of outpatient
family-practice clinics. They asked participants to log onto a
web site at the end of their work day and complete a survey.
The survey asked them to spend five to 10 minutes writing
about events large or small, personal or work-related, that had
gone really well that day and to explain why those things
had gone well.

It is unlikely that people will stop talking about negative

experiences at work. It is natural. But intentionally focusing on
positive events can provide balance. We dont advocate putting
up happy posters, but companies can take steps to intelligently
help people notice and share positive experiences. For example,
how about starting a meeting with a review of what has gone
well recently, rather than immediately jumping to what needs to
be improved?

The responses ranged from reports of coworkers bringing in

delicious food, to the mere fact that it was Friday, to thoughtful
stories about interactions with coworkers or patients that made
people feel good about themselves. After three weeks, stress
levels and mental and physical complaints declined by small but
significant amounts.

Whats great about this exercise, however, is the power it gives

to each of us on a daily basis. Before turning on the radio or
getting on a call during your homeward commute, take a
moment to reflect on the good things that happened at work.
Doing so can help you capitalize on the small, naturally
occurring flow of daily positive events a ubiquitous but toooften-ignored source of strength and well-being.

This simple practice writing about three good things that

happened creates a real shift in what people think about, and
can change how they perceive their work lives. It can also create

Just Do Your Bit!!

Happy Independence Day to all...!
I know it is not 15th of Aug today. No...No...No....I am not
insane nor have my wits gone grass grazing. Why is today not an
Independence Day??? Why do I have to restrict myself to a single
day out of all 365 days of a calendar for its commemoration - TO
FEEL, BREATHE and CELEBRATE a virtue so basic and yet
immensely indispensable and invaluable?
Robert Green Ingersell once said "What light is to the eyes...
What air is to the lungs...
What love is to the heart...
LIBERTY is to the soul of a man"
But even for a day when we all pretend to be drowned in the
spirit of nationalism and totally absorbed in the passion &
fervour, shining bright in a 68 year old fire, I am afraid how much
of it is real. Is the passion superficial? Is it all about putting up an
office show, a school parade a flag hoisting or hearing a
downloaded speech? Suddenly, the entire tide of passion
recedes. Is it that hollow and shallow?? May be YES, because
when we have something we do not value it; when it is lost we
realise its importance.
Ronald Regan said "Freedom is never more than one generation
away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the
bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on to
them to do the same". We know it well within our heart of
hearts....they (martyrs) fought, bled and gifted it to us. And we
have been mocking it ever since. We hardly have time to look
beyond our own pert nose and interests. The subject
(FREEDOM) has simply been taken for granted. As is the king,
so are the subjects - right? I would rather say the opposite. We
blame everything on the government and the governance, as if
we are in the same bygone era with our necks tied to a rope
whose end is in the hands of others. Reality is that we are
nothing but a bunch of argumentative people who can quote a
thousand reasons for not doing something rather than one for
doing it, a bunch of handicapped folks who sit back, debate,
argue, criticise and still expect miracles from others. For how
long will we be beating a dead horse? For how long will we be
quoting and glorifying the sacrifices and achievements of our
martyrs - our heroes of the freedom struggle? Why do we have a
dearth of names of such people having the same zeal and zest?
Is it because it hardly matters? We already have FREEDOM, we
haven't earned it. And freebies are not that valued, right? Look at
our attitude, if there comes up a great leader we have thousands
of petty politicians to pull him down and vice versa, rather than all
coming together and strengthening each other for the same
cause. It is not the strength or capability of a leader always that
decides the future of a family or a country; it is the attitude of
every single family member and citizen that matters for raising it
to high heaven or bringing it crashing down. But our greed for
pelf, power and position has overpowered our senses that
differentiate between right and wrong.

Well, being independent means we have the right to take our

decisions and use them for the benefit of the entire mankind.
But mostly, it is about me, my consort and kids only. Parents too,
are a second category people in this nuclear thought. It has been
68 long years and all these years we had no one to blame since
everything was as per our commandments and wishes. But
issues like POVERTY, ILLITERACY, MALNUTRITION, FEMALE
FOETICIDE, UNEMPLOYMENT and many more still remain like
BLACK HOLES - ever deepening, uncontrollable and
unmanageable. I wonder what went wrong because it has been
our reign - OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE & FOR THE
PEOPLE. And we are independent and free, right? No we aren't.
We are slaves of our laid back attitude, our lameness, our greed,
our reluctance and our mental weaknesses. We just can't stand
up for anything because SATYAMEV JAYATE is more for
adorning the beauty of Government Offices rather than actual
practice. We are hypersensitive towards our rights and totally
insensitive towards our duties. And that is what I want to convey
through this write up.... Freedom or Independence is not a day's
festival or a celebration or a script to be dramatized, it is the
essence of life and so it should be felt, lived every moment and
all things should be oriented in the direction of strengthening it
and awakening our slave souls. Trust me; the day this is
achieved, it shall mark the beginning of our independence.
Believe in yourself; believe in a one man army and DO YOUR
BIT. Feel the pride, express your nationalism and love even in
small things that may look trivial...
Let us make our kids feel proud of their nation and inculcate in
them the feeling of love and duty towards it, rather than fleeing
away to the States far away from their home and family.
By paying taxes and working sincerely, by helping and
enlightening the needy in ones capacity, by confronting the
wrong and supporting the right, by maintaining a clean and
green nation.....be it financially, socially, economically,
emotionally or logically - JUST DO YOUR BIT.
This is our nation, our freedom - let us live and kindle the light of
compassion and pride for India in our hearts by being a dutiful
and conscientious citizen. Let us all come together and remove
the shackles that have been hampering our nation's growth and
progress since ages. LET US DO OUR BIT!!
I Am No Bird,
And No Net Ensnares Me,
I Am A Free Human Being...
With An Independent Will...!!!
(anonymous)
So every day is an Independence Day.
Hence HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY...!!

Tips for Reducing Stress

5.

Do things that are pleasurable, like reading or gardening.

We may not be able to control stress, but we can manage it.

Here are some stress-management tips that may help you feel
better - and less stressed - every day:

6.

Take 15-20 minutes every day to sit quietly and reflect.

Learn and practice relaxation techniques like yoga or
deep breathing.

1. Accept that there are events that you cannot control.

7.

Exercise regularly by bicycling, walking, hiking, jogging,

or working out at the gym. Your body can fight stress
better when it is fit.

8.

Avoid alcohol and recreational drugs. And don't smoke.

9.

Eat healthy, well-balanced meals.

2.

3.

4.

Keep a positive attitude; rather than defaulting to

negatives (''Nothing goes right for me,'' or ''Bad things
always happen to me''), give yourself positive messages
(''I'm doing my best,'' or ''I'll ask for help'').

10. Get enough rest and sleep. Your body needs time to
recover from stressful events.

Halt stress in its tracks; if you feel overwhelmed, take a

walk or drive in the slow lane to avoid getting angry at
other drivers.

11. Seek out social support.

Manage your time. Give yourself time to get things done;

set your watch so you have more time to prepare for an event.
