the first two decades after independence were a heady period of nation - building . it was a time when a youthful nation began finding its feet and started building ‘modern temples’ with great zeal . the trend of building vital infrastructure and institutions was particularly strong in the hydrocarbons sector . in august 1956 , the oil and natural gas commission ( ongc ) was formed . in the downstream sector work to launch a number of refineries was initiated .

refining margins to compensate : post fy04 , the oil - marketing majors have been witnessing an acute squeeze in marketing margins , while refining margins have remained robust ( as refinery gate prices are linked to import parity prices and prices in the international markets have increased ) . due to political considerations , the oil - marketing majors were not allowed to increase product prices in line with costs and as a result , the psus witnessed a net loss per liter of petrol and diesel sold during 1qfy05 . however , high refining margins have enabled these companies to overcome the marketing blips , to some extent . to put things in perspective , bpcl ' s standalone mumbai refinery witnessed grm of us $ 4 . 6 per barrel while the same for kochi refineries is hovering at us $ 5 per barrel .

within the past two years , saudi arabia has added 800 mbpd of new refining capacity with the startup of the satorp and yasref refineries . an additional 400 mbpd of domestic refining capacity will go online in 2018 when saudi aramco’s $ 7 - b jazan refinery commences operations . the refinery is part of a $ 20 - b plan to develop the industrial city of jazan , as well as increase economic development in the region and create employment opportunities for saudis . the jazan city project includes the construction of the world’s largest integrated gasification combined - cycle power plant ( igcc ) . the igcc will use steam from the jazan refinery’s vacuum residue stream to generate nearly 4 , 000 mw of electricity . this power will not only supply electricity to the refinery , but also to the city residents .
from a simple beginning of refining to make available petroleum products to be used as fuels in different sectors of the economy , the kochi refinery now has an enviable portfolio of products that it churns out . among fuels , it supplies lpg and superior kerosene oil for use in households . its mainstay is , of course , the combination of petrol and high - speed diesel for use in automobiles . then there is naphtha which is an important ingredient that is used as a major raw material in fertilizer and other industries . the refinery also produces aviation turbine fuel .
closely linked to this enviable environmental track record is the safety record of the kochi refinery . the careful training of employees and contract workers and the regular awareness programmes on safety have led to the refinery achieving more than 43 million accident free working hours . this is not easy to achieve as the refinery is a complex maze of different chemical processes involving the handling or large volumes of hazardous materials . safety is not something that happens merely by following instructions mechanically . constant awareness and the blending of different processes are essential to achieve the final outcome that is called safety .
the project includes the installation of a new crude distillation unit ( cdu ) , delayed coker unit ( dcu ) , fluid catalytic cracking unit ( fccu ) , vgo hydrotreater , diesel hydrotreater , sulfur recovery unit ( sru ) , tail gas treating unit ( tgtu ) , hydrogen - generation unit , offsites and utilities . bpcl will also build a green biofuel refinery to produce ethanol from agricultural and municipal waste . the expansion project is scheduled to be finished by the end of the year . once completed , the kochi refinery will be the largest public - sector refinery in india .
