WELCOME MESSAGE
The dramatic rise in India's oil demand shows no signs of faltering,
compelling leading analysts to say that the country will remain a driver of
Asian growth in 2017. The country imported 197.5 million mt, or 4.33 million
b/d, of crude oil in the rst 11 months of 2016, up 10.5% year on
year.Consumption is expected to rise 7-8% this year, outpacing China's
demand growth for the third consecutive year.
Low crude oil prices could continue to support the demand growth despite modest
global economic prospects and accordingly crack spreads of most of the products are
expected to remain healthy. Additionally, any recovery in crude oil prices may also lead
to inventory gains for the reners.
The government's "Make in India" initiative -- which aims to raise the share of
manufacturing in GDP over the next few years, the clean fuel drive, sharp anticipated
growth in transport demand and air travel, and most importantly the country's insatiable
growth for petrochemicals will act as a boon for products like gasoline, jet fuel, LPG and
naphtha, helping post close to double-digit growth in 2017 -- similar to that seen last year --
if not higher.
Two petrochemical projects -- Reliance's aromatic expansion and OPAL's mixed feed
cracker – are also expected to give a big upward push to naphtha demand. Further to
meet it's growing demand, the country will need to add another 100 MT of rening
capacity by 2030.
In light of the above, the Global Rening & Petrochemicals Congress (GRPC 2017) - widely
recognized as “A Denitive Downstream Indian Forum”,would facilitate global, regional &
national stakeholders of the industry to explore synergies for growth &partnership
opportunities, whilst shedding lights on critical business issues such as: market trends,
margin/efciency improvements, breakthrough process technologies, catalyst
developments, and mega integration of renery & petrochemical complexes.
I convey my best wishes to the organiser i.e The Energy & Climate Inititaives Society (ENCIS)
& all the participants for a very successful & valuable event.

Global Rening and Petrochemicals Congress on the theme “The Age of Downstream Transformation”
organized by The Energy and Climate Change Initiative Society (ECIS) at Bombay Convention & Exhibition th thCentre, Mumbai, Maharashtra during 25 -26 May, 2017– A Report.
thDay 1, Thursday, 25 May 2017
The Energy and Climate Change Initiative Society (ECIS) organized Global Rening and Petrochemicals
Congress (GRPC) on the theme “The Age of Downstream Transformation” at the Bombay Convention & th thExhibition Centre, Mumbai, Maharashtra during 25 -26 May, 2017. The Congress was divided into
Inaugural Session, Exhibition opening, Theme Address, two Trigger Sessions and 7 Technical Sessions.
1. INAUGURAL SESSION:
During Inaugural Session, Welcome Address was delivered by Shri. A.K. Hazarika, WELCOME ADDRESS:
former CMD, ONGC and Chairman, Advisory Board, ENCIS and informed about the aim and objective
of ENCIS. He also conveyed that this is the 2nd edition of GRPC held in 2017 and 1st GRPC being
organized in 2015.
Elaborating theme of the GRPC 2017 “The Age of Downstream Transformation”, he observed that
presently global downstream industry is in a state of transition and is passing through several
transformations. The fall in oil prices, structural shifts in demand and supply trends, the evolving
regulations on sulfur cap in fuel, the continued expansion of the Asian economies, and the possible
repeal of the crude export ban in the US are some of numerous industry trends that add risk to the
business and thus calling for the industry's transformation. Therefore, theme of the GRPC 2017 is
selected as “The Age of Downstream Transformation”. One has to use new innovations, intelligence,
energy efcient technologies and strategies in the global downstream industry to survive and
ultimately thrive. Government of India has already taken a decision to reduce import of oil by 10 %
which should be compensated by adopting energy conservation measures, increasing energy
efciency, increasing oil production and adopting alternative renewable sources of energy.
He also informed that ENCIS for the rst time through the Global Rening & Petrochemicals Congress
2017 (GRPC) has created four categories of awards to promote innovation and excellence through
transformation at the national, regional & global industry level. He welcomed all for active
participation in deliberations.
SPECIAL ADDRESS: Prof. Dr. G.D. Yadav, Vice-Chancellor, Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT)
delivered Special Address. He informed that global energy is very important sector and is changing
every day. Energy mx is shifting due to new technologies and environment. Although oil, gas and coal
are the major source of energy, use of solar, wind and hydro has also enhanced recently. He predicted
that no crude oil will be available after 2054 and, therefore, new technologies are required to convert
high crude oil to light oil. He also emphasized importance of bio-reneries where organic waste can be
converted into manufacturing hydrocarbons like ethanol. Municipal waste can also be used to
generate energy. However, R & D is required to develop innovative ideas. He also informed that 2,300
catalysts are produced and used in petroleum reneries which also need to be manufactured in India.
KEYNOTE ADDRESS: In his Keynote Address, Shri K. K. Jain, Executive Director (Petrochemical), IOCL
informed about the current status of oil, gas and shale gas at the national and international level. In
India, emphasis is on reduction in footprints through use of LPG, renewable technology, use of electric
cars by 2030, and reduction of oil usage in power sector. Kerosene and furnace oils demand is
decreasing whereas demand for LPG has more than doubled. Ujjala scheme due to use of LED bulbs
has encouraged energy saving through energy efciency. Mega reneries should be installed to
manufacture petroleum products. Kerosene should be used to manufacture other products. Petro
products should also be used for hydrogen production. China is looking for new technologies like coal
to oil technology and use of shale gas etc. In U.S., shale gas is being used to manufacture light oil. Oil
production in middle east is almost stagnant and crude oil prices are coming down. Saudi Arab and
Iran are emphasizing to use cracking oil to produce more value added products.
for the GRPC 2017 was released by the dignitaries.GRPC Conference Souvenir
ENCIS has started Downstream India Excellence Awards in 2017. Eminent Jury AWARD CEREMONY:
included. Shri G.C. Chaturvedi, Former Secretary, MON&PG, Shri Sarthak Behura, Dr. R.K. Malhotra, Dr.
T.S.R. Prasada Rao and Shri Manoj Joshi. Following GRPC 2017 awards were awarded:
I. Renery of the year : Reliance Industries, Jamnagar

III. R&D company of the year : HPCL's Green R & D Center
IV. Asset of the year : IOCL's Panipat Renery (Best operational excellence)
: BPCL's Kochi Renery
Shri G.C. Chaturvedi, Former Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, INAUGURAL ADDRESS:
Govt. of India in his Inaugural Address informed that India is one of the highest user of crude oil,
importing about 80 % of crude oil and has doubled since year 2000. Therefore, growth of the reneries
will continue in future too. Import of crude oil is better and cheaper than importing nal petroleum
products. Now, export of petroleum products has gone up drastically leading to setting up of more
reneries. Petrochemical units are under constraint due to emphasis on compliance BS standards VI.
More funds are required to upgrade the technology accordingly to ensure compliance to the
environmental regulations.
: Vote of Thanks by Shri. Anand Kumar, Conference Chairman, GRPC 2017; Co-VOTE OF THANKS
Chairman, Advisory Board, ENCIS and Former ED, IOCL thanked all the participants, delegates, guests,
speakers, organizing force for the success of GRPC, 2017. He congratulated award winners. He also
discussed about the future of petrochemical industry and emphasized to use disruptive technology to
produce more (products) from less (crude oil) and conserve energy.
Exhibition was inaugurated before start of the next Session.
2. Theme Session on Digital Transformation - Innovation & Disruptive Technologies was THEME SESSION:
chaired by Mr. H.C. Mehta, President, Rening & Marketing, RIL. Before calling speakers, he informed stthat digital transformation is not a myth bur reality. Data is the new oil for the 21 century. We have
created more digits in last 2 years than throughout life. Digital disruption has led to unmanned retail
outlets, digitally netted customers, hyperlocal moble fuel, use of articial intelligence, fuel by aps etc.
I. Mr. Vishal Mehta, Head of Digital Strategy, Architecture and Technology, Reliance Industries Ltd.
informed about the 'Digital Sweet Spot'. Real and digital world is using intelligence. Computing is
ubiquitous and can be done anywhere. Digitization is de-mystied by Uber, Ola and Face book
etc. However, there are so many challenges (Assess, identify, prioritize, evaluate) and ideas (3D
printing, remote sensing, internet of things, shared standards, collaboration and innovation
centers) to be used in digitization.
II. Mr. Saurabh Singh, Senior Principal, A.T. Kearney discussed 'Future of Production – Accelerating
Value Creation'. He informed that petroleum industry is changing. Production is more than
manufacturing and this is the age of conversion. Petrol vehicle will vanish after 8 years if use of
electrical vehicle is successful. Accordingly, everyone has to change with time to survive. Oil and
19
SUMMERY
gas companies have to use digitization in renery, product distribution, product marketing and
capital projects. There will certainly be some implications for organizations and policy makers.
III. Mr. Vinay Shenoy, Digital Lead, Accenture informed about 'Beyond the Barrel-Retail and
Experimental Services for the Oil and Gas Companies'. He emphasized for the use of digital
technologies in Oil & Gas Companies during the digital transformation, we are dealing with
uncertainties & customers but we have to consider design thinking, data delivers through
technologies & deliberate choosing.
3. TRIGGER SESSION I (Global Rening Industry Outlook)
Mr. B.K. Namdeo, Former Director (Reneries), HPCL was the Session Chairman.
I. Ms. Vandana Hari, Founder & CEO, Vanda Insights deliberated on 'Rening Margins in an age of
lower crude prices: What to expect?' She informed that OPEC & Shale, USA are changing the
economics & world market. The price of the oil & gas is reduced drastically. At the same time US is
producing more Shall Gas.
II. Mr. Debasish Bera, Associate Director- Oil & Gas PwC India discussed 'Future of Rening – Indian
Growth Story'. He informed that production of petrol & diesel has expected to go up but renery
margins are likely to fell in 2017. Besides, there are challenges posed by Auto Fuel Police, 2014 &
