The Company
Exploration and production
The Exploration and Production (E&P) business of the company has participating interests in several hydrocarbon blocks for exploration and production of Oil & Gas, namely in Mehsana in Gujarat, and Cachar in Assam (all in India). It has also been awarded a Coal Bed Methane (CBM) block at Ranigunj in West Bengal, two more E&P blocks in Assam, India. The overseas E&P assets include Blocks A2 (Offshore) & L (Onshore) in Myanmar, three onshore oil & gas blocks in Madagascar-Africa and one offshore block in Nigeria.
Global-scale refinery
EEHL’s 10.5 MTPA refinery at Vadinar (that represents approximately 10% of India’s refining capacity), in Gujarat, Western India, has been built with state-of-the-art technology and has the capability to produce petrol and diesel suitable for use in India as well as advanced international markets. It will also produce LPG, Naphtha, light diesel oil, aviation turbine fuel and kerosene. The refinery has been designed to handle a diverse range of crude from sweet to sour and light to heavy.

EEHL supplies to bulk consumers and has already opened more than 1,500 retail outlets. The world-class refinery produces middle distillates like aviation turbine fuel, kerosene oil and high-speed diesel, which form over 60% of India's demand. We also produce LPG and transport fuels including petrol conforming to Euro III and Euro IV product quality standards for the domestic and export markets.

High automation, the latest technology and an ideal location on India's West Coast will give us significant competitive advantages. We import crude oil freely in VLCCs, which offers considerable cost savings especially since we are one of the closest refineries to the Middle East, the main supply source for crude oil. With an eye on future value building, we have also created the infrastructure to double our refining capacity at a third of the cost and in half the time of a green-field project.

Marketing

Essar Oil Limited (EOL) is one of the few private companies permitted to market petroleum products in India. To serve retail customers under the brand 'Essar Oil', EOL has a modern, large countrywide distribution network of Retail Outlets. Looking beyond the saturated larger urban markets, we are reaching out to consumers deep in India's heartland.
