Indane Gas Indane is today one of the largest packed-LPG brands in the world and has been conferred the coveted ‘Consumer Superbrand’ status by the Superbrands Council of India.

Having launched LPG marketing in the mid-60s, IndianOil has been credited with bringing about a ‘kitchen revolution,’ spreading warmth and cheer in millions of households with the introduction of the clean and efficient cooking fuel. It has led to a substantial improvement in the health of women, especially in rural areas by replacing smoky and unhealthy chulha. Indane is today an ideal fuel for modern kitchens, synonymous with safety, reliability and convenience.

With the status of an exclusive business vertical within the Corporation, the Indane network delivers 1.2 million cylinders a day to the doorsteps of over 53 million households, making IndianOil the second largest marketer of LPG globally, after SHV Gas of The Netherlands. Indane is available in compact 5 kg cylinders for rural, hilly and inaccessible areas, 14.2 kg cylinders for domestic use, and 19 kg and 47.5 kg for commercial and industrial use.

LPG is a blend of Butane and Propane readily liquefied under moderate pressure. LPG vapour is heavier than air; thus it normally settles down in low-lying places. Since LPG has only a faint scent, a mercaptan odorant is added to help in its detection. In the event of an LPG leak, the vapourisation of liquid cools the atmosphere and condenses the water vapour contained in it to form a whitish fog, which is easy to observe. LPG in fairly large

AutoGas AutoGas (LPG) is a clean, high octane, abundant and eco-friendly fuel. It is obtained from natural gas through fractionation and from crude oil through refining. It is a mixture of petroleum gases like propane and butane. The higher energy content in this fuel results in a 10% reduction of CO2 emission as compared to MS.

AutoGas is a gas at atmospheric pressure and normal temperatures, but it can be liquefied when moderate pressure is applied or when the temperature is sufficiently reduced. This property makes the fuel an ideal energy source for a wide range of applications, as it can be easily condensed, packaged, stored and utilised. When the pressure is released, the liquid makes up about 250 times its volume as gas, so large amounts of energy can be stored and transported compactly.

The use of LPG as an automotive fuel has become legal in India with effect from April 24, 2000, albeit within the prescribed safety terms and conditions. Hitherto, the thousands of LPG vehicles running in various cities have been doing so illegally by using domestic LPG cylinders, a very unsafe practice. Using domestic LPG cylinders in automobiles is still illegal.

The fuel is marketed by IndianOil under the brand name ‘AutoGas’

"IndianOil has setup 282 Auto LPG Dispensing Stations (ALDS) covering 153 cities across India."

AutoGas impacts greenhouse emissions less than any other fossil fuel when measured through the total fuel cycle. Conversion of petrol to AutoGas helps substantially reduce air pollution caused by vehicular emissions.

The saving on account of conversion to AutoGas in comparison to petrol is about 35-40%. Low filling times and the 35-40% saving is a reason enough for a consumer to convert his vehicle to AutoGas.

Natural Gas

Over the years, Natural Gas has emerged as the 'fuel of choice' across the world. It is slowly but steadily replacing traditional fossil fuels due to its environmentally friendly characteristics which help greatly in meeting the stipulated automobile emission norms. When compared with coal and oil, natural gas has a low carbon footprint due to its clean combustion features. Natural Gas has significant cost advantages too over crude oil and fuels such as Naphtha and commercial LPG.

In the year 2008, it constituted only around 9% of India's energy basket compared with 24% globally. This is expected to rise to around 13% in the year 2010. India's hydrocarbon vision statement envisages the share of natural gas in the country’s energy basket to be 20% by the year 2025.

Demand for Natural Gas in India is primarily driven by the fertiliser and power sectors, which account for almost two-third of the country’s gas consumption. Gas-based power plants are quicker to build and incur lesser initial capital expenditure and are better suited to meet peak power demand.

Drawing on its vast experience and carefully nurtured skill sets, IndianOil has made successful forays in diverse

areas such as Natural Gas, Petrochemicals, Exploration & Production, Renewable Energy, etc. With 12.5% equity in Petronet LNG Limited (PLL), IndianOil has marketing rights for 30% quantity of the LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) procured by PLL from RasGas, Qatar under the long term agreement. Demand for Natural gas in India is growing and cannot be met by the current indigenous production. Hence, IndianOil is in the process of sourcing more quantities of LNG to meet the increasing requirements.

The Corporation entered the Natural Gas business in March 2004. Since then, by leveraging its inherent strengths and countrywide reach, IndianOil has significantly enhanced its customer base. In the year 2009-10, it clocked sales of 2.25 MMTPA (million metric tonnes per annum) i.e. 7.89 MMSCMD (million standard cubic meters per day) of gas earning revenues of about Rs. 3000 crore.

Within the gas business, City Gas Distribution is a rapidly growing segment. Green Gas Ltd., IndianOil's joint venture with GAIL (India) Ltd., is already operational in Agra and Lucknow in the state of Uttar Pradesh and is further expanding to cater to the increased demand in various sectors. The consortium of IndianOil and Adani Energy has been declared successful in securing licenses to build city gas distribution networks in the cities of Chandigarh, Allahabad and Ghaziabad. IndianOil is in the process of forming more strategic alliances for City Gas Distribution in other parts of the country.

IndianOil has the capabilities to supply regassified LNG to customers presently located in the Northern and Western regions of India. With the expansion of the pipeline network in Southern region as well as other parts of the country, IndianOil can supply gas to customers located near those pipelines. As a committed supplier, IndianOil is completely responsible for delivery of gas to the customer’s premises. The transportation services of the company engaged in transportation of gas are hired to ensure deliveries. This model is used the world over wherein multiple gas suppliers operate through one transportation system.

The “LNG at Doorstep” initiative involves making LNG available to the customers not connected by gas pipeline. Gas is transported through a cryogenic system, stored in a cryogenic holding tank at the target location and re-gassified on-site through vaporizers for use as a fuel. So far, over 22,000 MT of LNG has been delivered to the customers, and has been successfully utilized without any operational difficulties. The entire operation is concealed, which eliminates the possibility of adulteration and pilferage. Introduced in August 2007, this initiative has been well received and is attracting more customers located away from the pipelines.

Petrol/Gasoline Automotive gasoline and gasoline-oxygenate blends are used in internal combustion spark-ignition engines. These spark ignition engine fuels are primarily used for passenger cars. They are also used in off-highway utility vans, farm machinery and in other spark ignition engines employed in a variety of service applications.

Gasoline is a complex mixture of relatively volatile hydrocarbons that vary widely in chemical & physical properties and are derived from fractional distillation of crude petroleum with a further treatment mainly in terms of improvement of its octane rating. The hundreds of individual hydrocarbons in gasoline range from c4 to c11.

An oxygenate is an oxygen-containing, ashless organic compound (such as an alcohol or ether) which can be used as a fuel or fuel supplement. Motor gasoline is sold at retail outlets where it is directly delivered into the automobile tank. The Indian Standard governing the properties of motor gasoline & gasoline-oxygenate blends is IS 2796 : 2000 (3rd Rev).

In view of the auto fuel policy issued by Govt of India, more & more stringent specifications (equivalent to Euro II, Euro III, Euro IV) are being made applicable for the gasolines being marketed in India. This has led to reduction of environmentally polluting factors in gasolines.

XTRAPREMIUM

IndianOil’s XTRAPREMIUM is India’s leading branded petrol boosted with new-generation multifunctional

additives known as friction busters that prevent deposition in the combustion chamber. XTRAPREMIUM is custom-designed to deliver higher mileage, more power, better pick-up, faster acceleration, enhanced engine cleanliness and lower emissions.

XTRAPREMIUM is a sought-after fuel among discerning motorists, and owners of new-generation, high-performance cars have endorsed its unmatched performance.

In terms of fuel system cleanliness XTRAPREMIUM is hugely superior to any other alternative fuel in this segment, with the additional benefit of fuel efficiency through the friction modifier. The additive package contains proprietary components, including a detergent dispersant, a friction modifier and a corrosion inhibitor, as a perfectly optimised formulation in synthetic carrier oil. The detergent dispersant cleans the fuel system and the friction modifier drastically reduces friction in the non-lubricated engine area, thereby contributing to fuel economy.

Diesel/Gas oil Petroleum derived diesel (called as petrodiesel) is a mixture of straight run product (150 °C and 350 °C) with varying amount of selected cracked distillates and is composed of saturated hydrocarbons (primarily paraffins including n , iso , and cycloparaffins), and aromatic hydrocarbons (including napthalenes and alkylbenzenes).

Diesel is used in diesel engines, a type of internal combustion engine. Rudolf Diesel originally designed the diesel engine to use coal dust as a fuel, but oil proved more effective. Diesel engines are used in cars, motorcycles, boats and locomotives. Automotive diesel fuel serves to power trains, buses, trucks, and automobiles, to run construction, petroleum drilling and other off-road equipment and to be the prime mover in a wide range of power generation & pumping applications. The diesel engine is high compression, self-ignition engine. Fuel is ignited by the heat of high compression and no spark plug is used.

The Indian Standard governing the properties of diesel fuels is IS 1460:2005 (5th Rev). Important characteristics are ignition characteristics, handling at low temperature, flash point.

Diesel fuel often contains higher quantities of sulphur. In India , emission standards (equivalent to Euro II, Euro III, Euro IV) have necessitated oil refineries to dramatically reduce the level of sulphur in diesel in view of the auto fuel policy brought in force by Govt of India.

BIS has brought out specification for "Diesel with 5% Biodiesel" that may be marketed in near future.

XTRAMILE

IndianOil’s XTRAMILE Super Diesel, the leader in the branded diesel segment, is blended with world-class multi-functional fuel additives. Commercial vehicle owners choose XTRAMILE because they see a clear value benefit in terms of superior mileage, lower maintenance costs and improved engine protection. A growing section of customers who own diesel automobiles, both in the ‘lifestyle’ and ‘passenger’ category, prefer XTRAMILE as a fuel for its added and enhanced performance. XTRAMILE has brought in a huge savings in the high mileage commercial vehicles segment. Transport fleets that operate a large number of trucks crisscrossing the country are using XTRAMILE to benefit from higher mileage and reduced maintenance costs.

ATF/Jet Fuel IndianOil Aviation Service is a leading aviation fuel solution provider in India and the most-preferred supplier of jet fuel to major international and domestic airlines. Between one sunrise and the next, IndianOil Aviation Service refuels over 1500 flights – from the bustling metros to the remote airports linking the vast Indian landscape, from the icy heights of Leh (the highest airport in the world at 10,682 ft) to the distant islands of Andaman & Nicobar.

Jet fuel is a colorless, combustible, straight-run petroleum distillate liquid. Its principal uses are as jet engine fuel. The most common jet fuel worldwide is a kerosene-based fuel classified as JET A-1.The governing specifications in India

are IS 1571: 2001 (7th Rev).

IndianOil is India's first ISO-9002 certified oil company conforming to stringent global quality requirements of aviation fuel storage & handling. IndianOil Aviation also caters to the fuel requirements of the Indian Defence Services, besides refueling VVIP flights at all the airports and remote heli-pads/heli-bases across the Indian subcontinent.

IndianOil Aviation group regularly organises International Aviation conferences that act as a vital information facilitator with participation from leading international and all domestic airlines, allied industries, statutory aviation authorities and government agencies from over 35 countries.

IndianOil is the only oil company in India to market the widest possible range of fuels used by the aviation industry in India- JP-5, Avgas 100LL, Methanol Water Mixture, Jet A-1 and aviation lubricants, etc.

Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) is dispensed from specially designed refuellers, which are driven up to parked airplanes and helicopters. Major airports have hydrant refuelling systems that pump the fuel right up to the filling outlets on the tarmac through underground pipelines for faster refuelling. Essentially, ATF is pumped into an aircraft by two methods: Overwing and Underwing. Overwing fuelling is used on smaller planes, helicopters, and piston-engine aircraft and is similar to automobile fuelling - one or more fuel ports are opened and fuel is pumped in with a conventional pump. Underwing fuelling, also called single-point is used on larger aircraft.

To ensure that you receive the best service, every one of our 101 AFSs follows specific quality audits based on a Quality Control Index System benchmarked to global standards. In addition, 15 Quality Certification Laboratories provide complete specification tests round-the-clock.

Lubrication is the art of reducing friction between rubbing or rolling surfaces. In the recent past two terminologies have gained currency - Tribology, the science of Rubbing; Rheology, the study of stream or flow. The earliest knowledge of lubrication is evident from grease lubricated chariot wheels excavated from the ruins. The rapid development of this science can be said to have started from the 18th century, with significant technological progress in commercial usage in the 20th century. Most lubricants are liquids. Water is a natural lubricant but has extremely limited application due to its very low viscosity and very low boiling point, besides its contribution to rusting and corrosion. Vegetable oils have excellent lubrication properties but have very poor oxidation stability, high pour point, rapid thickening and may even let out foul odours in time. Most of the liquid lubricants used at present all over the world are petroleum-based mineral oils.

Agricultural Spray Oils Servo Orchard Spray Oil

This Oil is blended from high quality base stock specially for protection of apple trees from San Jose scale. The oil is sprayed in the form of oil-in-water emulsion on apple orchards during the months of December / January when the ambient temperature is around 3 to 40C. The emulsion dissolves the waxy protective shield of the insect and the oil film envelops it thereby killing the insect by cutting off its air supply. It can be used for protection of eucalyptus, cinchona etc. The oil does not have any toxic influence and is approved by Fruit Research Station, Shalimar.

Kerosene  Kerosenes are distillate fractions of crude oil in the boiling range of 150-250°C. They are treated mainly for reducing aromatic content to increase their smoke point (height of a smokeless flame) and hydrofining to reduce sulphur content and to improve odour, colour & burning qualities (char value).

Kerosene is used as a domestic fuel for heating / lighting and also for manufacture of insecticides/herbicides/fungicides to control pest, weeds and fungi. Since kerosene is less volatile than gasoline, increase in its evaporation rate in domestic burners is achieved by increasing surface area of the oil to be burned and by increasing its temperature. The two types of burners which achieve this fall into two categories namely vaporisers & atomisers.

The Indian Standard governing the properties of kerosene is IS 1459:1974 (2nd Rev).

Crude oil Crude oil - as petroleum directly out of the ground is called - is a remarkably varied substance, both in its use and composition. Crude oil is formed from the preserved remains of prehistoric zooplankton and algae, which have been settled to the sea (or lake) bottom in large quantities under anoxic conditions. It was formed over millions of years from the remains of tiny aquatic plants and animals that lived in ancient seas due to compression and heating of ancient organic materials over geological time. The oldest oil-bearing rocks date back to more than 600 million years, the youngest being as old as about 1 million years.

Although various types of hydrocarbons - molecules made of hydrogen and carbon atoms - form the basis of all crude oils, they differ in their configurations. The chemical structure of petroleum is composed of hydrocarbon chains of different lengths. Because of this, petroleum may be taken to oil refineries and the hydrocarbon chemicals separated by distillation and treated by other chemical processes, to be used for a variety of purposes. It can be a straw-colored liquid or tar-black solid. Red, green and brown hues are not uncommon.

Crude oil is classified by the location of its origin (e.g. West Texas Intermediate, WT, Brent, Dubai or Minas) and often by its relative weight or viscosity (light, intermediate or heavy); refiners may also refer to it as `sweet’, which means it contains relatively little sulphur, or as `sour’, which means it contains substantial amounts of sulphur and requires more refining in order to meet current product specifications. The number of carbon atoms determines the oil's relative `weight’ or density. Gases generally have one to four carbon atoms, while heavy oils and waxes may have 50, and asphalts, hundreds.

Crude oil from an area in which the crude oil's molecular characteristics have been determined and the oil has been classified are used as pricing references throughout the world. These references are known as Crude oil benchmarks

After considering availability of indigenous crude oil, balance crude oil is required to be imported. IndianOil sources its crude oil requirement from Far East, Gulf region, Mediterranean, West Africa and Latin American sources.
