Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Gujarat, northwest India
Capacity: 1.24 Barrels Per Stream Day (BPSD)
Start-up Year: -
The Reliance Jamnagar complex is located in northwest India and it was the largest refinery and petrochemicals complex ever built from the ground up. A second refinery, adjacent to the first, was completed in 2008. In 25 December 2008, Reliance Petroleum Limited (RPL) announced the commissioning of its refinery into a Special Economic Zone in Jamnagar, Gujarat, India. Construction of the second refinery required over 200,000 engineering and supplier documents, 1.5 million cubic metres of concrete, more than 4 million meters of piping, and 4,400 pieces of major equipment. The work site itself covered an area larger than London. At peak construction, the project employed more than 70,000 workers. Bechtel Coorporation won the engineering, procurement, project managment, and construction consulting contract in 2005, which worth more than US$6 billion.
With crude processing capacity of 1.24 million Barrels Per Stream Day (BPSD), the Jamnagar refinery is a trendsetter and has won several awards. It also enjoys the distinction of housing some of the world\'s largest units, such as the Fluidised Catalytic Cracker (FCC), Coker, Alkylation, Paraxylene and Polypropylene plants. Fuels from Jamnagar refinery are exported to several countries across the world.
