Kesanapalli, October 14, 2021: In line with the observance of “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav”, ONGC organized a study trip for students of Godavari Institute of Engineering & Technology (GIET) of Rajahmundry to its Mini Refinery at Tatipaka and Gas Collecting Station at Kesanapalli. The trips were organized during 5 to 9 October 2021, in five groups of around 25 students each. The trips are aimed at providing the students with an insight of various oil-field operations of ONGC, to inculcate a passion among the budding engineers for nation building efforts.

Senior engineers of ONGC apprised the students of the functioning of production installation where crude oil, natural gas and water are obtained from wells and separated and treated. Students were explained how after treatment, Oil & Gas is sent to Tatipaka refinery and GAIL respectively. The technical nuances of the oil industry stoked curiosity among the engineering students.
 
Earlier in September, celebrating the 75 years of Independence, ONGC had organized field visits for five student groups from Kendriya Vidyalaya and engineering colleges. The study visits during 1 to 15 September were organized at five oil-field locations of the Maharatna – Ahmedabad, Mehsana, Ankleshwar, Cambay and Cauvery.
