Why is this significant?
The Alkali-Surfactant-Polymer (ASP) injection scheme is specifically designed to enhance oil recovery from the K-III+IV reservoir of the Jhalora Field. The project is expected to yield an incremental gain of 0.598 Million Metric Tonnes (MMt) of crude oil by FY 2039-40, contributing an additional 4.27% recovery, a transformative boost in India’s energy production.
Salient Features of the ASP Jhalora Plant:
• Fully automated systems for seamless, efficient operations
• Sustainable design utilizing treated effluent water for chemical slug preparation
• AFM-based advanced water filtration for enhanced process integrity
• Latest Polymer Preparation Unit for optimal chemical formulation
• Integrated dust control mechanisms for minimal environmental footprint
• Fully aligned with India’s vision for energy independence and sustainability
The plant was inaugurated by ONGC Director (Production) Pankaj kumar and stands as a testament to ONGC’s leadership in deploying innovative Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques under its visionary Chemical EOR Programme.
This project is not merely an industrial facility, it is a symbol of India's Energy Maharatna's technological leadership, operational excellence, and enduring commitment to securing India’s energy future.
