Project and Location
Hazira Field
Abandonment/Restoration
Plan

Brief Description
GSPC-Niko, the contractor for the Hazira block is required to
carry out the abandonment of the field upon cessation of the
petroleum operations, as per Good Petroleum Industry Practices in
an environmental friendly manner. The facilities and
infrastructure created for the petroleum operations, which requires
abandonment are, 36 wells, spread across on-land, Land Based
Drilling Platform (LBDP) and the Offshore Drilling Platform
(OFDP), and the processing facility to process gas and oil at Hazira.
At LBDP, there is a gas gathering station for appropriate collection
and transportation of gas from different wells to the Hazira gas
plant.
The OFDP collects the offshore gas & oil for transportation to the
Processing Facilities onshore via twin 12 subsea pipelines.
Additionally there is an oil receiving terminal just outside of the
ONGCs CTF at Ankleshwar for facilitating the delivery to ONGC
for further processing and transfer to IOC, the GOI nominated
recipient of the produced oil.
Based on the present understanding and review of the performance
of the field, the contractor expects the field to be uneconomical
during the 1sthalf of the year FY 2015-16. However, the contractor
intends to continue the operations till October, 2015, the post
monsoon season, as it shall not be possible to carry out the Field

Abandonment and Site Restoration activities during the monsoon

season.
The Field Abandonment Plan is prepared, proposes toPlug
&Abandon (P&A) of all the wells in both Onshore & Offshore
areas, Removal of onshore & offshore facilities, restoration of the
sea bed and land areas to its original condition. Its proposed that
the LBDP platform after abandonment of the wells shall be made
free of hydrocarbons, so that the area can be made useful for
general public or other industrial development in Hazira and the
offshore platform topside shall be considered for sale.
Niko, the operator of the JV has prepared this plan to execute the
abandonment of the Hazira Facilities in a safe, environmentally
sound, professional and responsible manner acceptable to the
regulating authorities such as OISD, DGMS, DGH, GPCB or any
other statutory authorities as required.
The JV has approved the Plan & it has been submitted to GOI
for approval , however the Onshore and offshore Well
Abandonment Procedure and 12 subsea pipe line abandonment
procedure are vetted / sanctioned by OISD ( GOI Regulatory
Body).
All onshore well sites and processing plant site shall either be
restored back to original condition as desired by the land owner. A
post abandonment survey shall be carried out to demonstrate that
the utilized area by JV in Hazira block for Oil and gas operations
has been restored as per the OISD approvals and under operating
CCA as per state pollution control board norms .
Restoration of plant and well site area is a terminal step
authorized through PSC and Mining lease issued by GOI /GOG (
which involved original EIA) & CCA (Consolidated Consent and
Authority) to operate is included in our on-going regular
operation since inception .
The Field Abandonment and Site Restoration plan proposes to
carry out the entire work in two phases,
The 1st Phase: From Oct, 2015 to May, 2016
Abandon all wells at Offshore Platform. Decommission / remove
equipments from the platform, Abandon all land wells (except
LBDP wells) and partial removal of surface equipments from the
processing plant site till the monsoon onset.
The 2nd Phase: From Oct, 2016 till end of work
Decommissioning& Removal of Hazira Offshore Platform ( the
topside is considered for sale on a as is where is basis),
Abandoning of LBDP wells, Decommissioning of LBDP Site,
Removal of Balance Surface Equipments and Restoration of
processing plant site.
JV has hired an agency (ERM) to conduct an appropriate due
diligence of the Socio-Environmental factors specific to the
decommissioning. ERM would be carrying out a supplemental EIA
study to compliment the base line EIA survey of on land and
offshore, to identify the possible impact due to decommissioning

activities and recommend measures to nullify the effects.

ERM would also be preparing an after care management plan
which would be implemented and monitored by Niko after the field
has been decommissioned. ERM would also be identifying the
various Nodal agencies from where approvals are to be obtained
and assist in obtaining them.

Please complete the table to show how Niko Resources has screened potential projects to identify
potential adverse environmental and/or social impacts which may arise from these projects. If issues were
identified, please describe briefly how Niko Resources expects that these issues will be assessed and
managed in compliance with IFC Performance Standards and local law. For each project please also state
whether an ESIA was or will be prepared.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Draft Findings of GHG FY 2014-15)

Niko will report on GHG emissions estimated as per an internationally recognized emission
estimation methodology for oil and gas industry (e.g., API Compendium of Greenhouse Gas
Emissions Estimation). Please attach the GHG emission calculation as an annex of the AMR.

Provide GHG emissions and flaring and venting volumes for each managed asset for the reporting period.
Please include:
GHG emissions (t CO2-eq) 14648.130 based on actual value from 1st April-2014 to 31st

Assess GHG emissions from all equipment including fired equipment, vents, flares, compressor stations, boats, marine transfer
facilities, etc. and fugitive emissions annually by a model. GHG annual total is derived by CO2 tpy + CO2-equivalent tpy (CH4
tpy converted to CO2) and is reported based on an internationally recognized emission estimation methodology for oil and gas
industry.

Please describe, when suitable, the actions taken during this reporting period for the reduction of GHG
emissions (including flaring/venting reduction measures).
The major contributors to the drop in GHG Emission in FY 2014-15 are:
1- Over all 70.55 % Diesel Consumption has been reduced as compared to last financial year
for FY 2013-14
2- Reduction in Natural Gas Internal Consumption by operating One Natural Gas
Compressor instead of Two Natural Gas Compressor from 1st April-2014.
3- At LBDP booster compressor stopped (From 23rd August-2014 to 31st March-2015
(Considered 220 days running hrs)
4- Fugitive gas emission at Hazira gas plant reduced due to number of control devices reduced
from 40 to 25 nos.
Drilling Fluids and Cuttings Discharge/Disposal
(No Drilling activities carried out during the fiscal year 2014-15, however the Work over fluids
were stored in evaporation pits for drying up & sludge was disposed at SPCB authorized agency)
If wells were drilled by Niko in the reporting period, specify what type of drilling fluids (WBDF and
NADF including SBF, EMOBF, etc.) was used for each well drilled.
Please describe the process used to treat muds or cuttings prior to discharge/disposal.
Please describe how and where muds and cuttings were discharged/disposed. Please provide the amount
discharged/disposed per each well.

the EHS Guidelines for Onshore Oil and Gas Development and the EHS Guidelines for Offshore Oil and
Gas Development. Please provide monitoring results, demonstrating compliance for the following
streams, as applicable:

Hydrotest water: Taken to ETP for Treatment & Disposed off at the estuary of Tapi river after the
treatment as per the SPCB consent.
Cooling water Not Applicable
Storm water drainage Natural Drain to Estuary of Tapi river.
Desalination brine Taken to ETP evaporation pit for de-salination of Work over fluids (Brine).
Sewage Septic Tanks available
Food waste
Storage displacement water: Potable Water being disposed off at septic tanks
Bilge water:
Deck drainage Through Sump Casion at Offshore Platform and liquid hydrocarbons are recovered
and sent to ETP for treatment along with the process fluid.

24

Representative samples of liquid effluent should be collected at the discharge points. Monitoring should
take place while facility is operating. Collection frequency should be representative (and at least annual),
if not defined by the national requirements / license.
