41. Tatipaka Oil Refinery is located in the state of- [U.P.P.C.S. (Pre) 2016]

(a) Assam
(b) Uttar Pradesh
(c) Karnataka
(d) Andhra Pradesh

Correct Answer: (d) Andhra Pradesh

Solution:Tatipaka Oil Refinery is located at Tatipaka Village in Konaseema region of Andhra Pradesh, set up by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation of India.

The generation of transportation fuels and other fuels relies heavily on oil refineries. Once separated, the components of crude oil can be sold to various businesses for a variety of uses. After distillation, lubricants can be supplied to manufacturing facilities, whilst other products need additional refinement before being sold to consumers. The daily processing capacity of large refineries is in the hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude oil. The production of raw crude oil is referred to as the "upstream" sector in the industry, whereas the refining process is generally referred to as the "downstream" sector. The phrase "downstream" refers to the idea that oil is transported to an oil refinery to be converted into fuel as it moves further down the product value chain. The downstream stage also includes the actual sale of petroleum products to other businesses, governments, or private individuals.

(a) Assam
(b) Kerala
(c) Gujarat
(d) Karnataka

Correct Answer: (c) Gujarat

Solution:Koyali refinery is located in Gujarat. It is the third largest refinery owned by Indian Oil Corporation after Paradip and Panipat Refinery. The generation of transportation fuels and other fuels relies heavily on oil refineries. Once separated, the components of crude oil can be sold to various businesses for a variety of uses. After distillation, lubricants can be supplied to manufacturing facilities, whilst other products need additional refinement before being sold to consumers. The daily processing capacity of large refineries is in the hundreds of thousands of barrels of crude oil. The production of raw crude oil is referred to as the "upstream" sector in the industry, whereas the refining process is generally referred to as the "downstream" sector.

48. Commercial production of Mineral Oil has started recently in which one of the areas of India, labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the rough map given below: [I.A.S. (Pre) 1998]

(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 3
(d) 4

Correct Answer: (c) 3

Solution:The place marked '3' in the map is Cauvery onshore basin in Tamil Nadu, where the commercial production of Mineral Oil started. The basin is bordered by the Western Ghats, the Eastern Ghats, and ridges that separate it from the Pennar and Tungabhadra basins. Most of the oil reserves in India are associated with anticlines and fault traps in the sedimentary rock formations of tertiary times. In tertiary period, aquatic life was abundant in various forms, especially the minor microscopic forms of flora and fauna. Conditions for oil formation were favourable especially in the lower and middle Tertiary period. Dense forests and sea organisms flourished in the gulfs, estuaries, deltas and the land surrounding them during this period.

49. Mangla-Bhagyam, Shakti and Aishwarya - [R.A.S./R.T.S. (Pre) 2008]

(a) Are three schemes for the upliftment of scheduled castes girls
(b) Are oil fields discovered in Barmer-Sanchore basin
(c) Are three universities established in the private sector
(d) Produce natural gas from Jaisalmer basin to supply Ramgarh power plant

Correct Answer: (b) Are oil fields discovered in Barmer-Sanchore basin

Solution:The Mangla Bhagyam and Aishwarya constitute key oil fields discovered in Barmer-Sanchore basin. The Mangla field considered to be the largest onshore hydrocarbon field in India.

50. 14 N.E.L.P. Blocks, 1 J.V. Blocks, 2 Nomination Blocks and 4 C.B.M. Blocks are related to: [R.A.S./R.T.S. (Pre) 2010]

(a) Gypsum belt
(b) Gold belt
(c) Petroleum Exploration
(d) Lignite belt

Correct Answer: (c) Petroleum Exploration

Solution:14 N.E.L.P. Blocks, 1 J.V. Blocks, 2-Nomination Blocks and 4 C.B.M. Blocks are related to petroleum exploration. A petroleum basin includes a diverse collection of rocks and sediments, but most importantly it contains source rocks. Source rocks are specific shale formations in a basin where oil and gas are born. There are 26 sedimentary basins in India, covering a total area of 3.4 million square kilometer. Of the total sedimentary area, 49% of total area is located on land, 12% in shallow water (up to 400 meter water depth) and 39% in the deepwater area (farther up to Exclusive Economic Zone or EEZ). The jurisdiction of the EEZ extends 200 nautical miles from the coastline, thereby conferring on the coastal state the right to manage, explore, exploit, and conserve all resources within its purview, be they living or non-living.
