India's Hydrocarbon Outlook – 2022-2023

107 DGH: 3 DECADES OF UNLOCKING INDIA'S HYDROCARBON POTENTIAL submission (uploading) and enhance storage (for all E&P data types including seismic field data) and create a cloud-enabled database platform. With the objectives of NDR 2.0 outlined above and coupled with the fact that existing IT hardware has reached obsolescence, while user demands have increased multi-fold, DGH is planning to upgrade the existing NDR to cloud enabled NDR 2.0 which will have following salient features: a) Cloud-based Solution: i. New look GIS-based portal with dashboard having extended search capabilities and enhanced user experience on data preview, data visualization and quick-look analysis with custom settings. ii. Self-service data loading with automated data QC/ validation and downloading for entitled users. This feature will significantly reduce time for data submission and delivery through contactless process. iii. Online data ordering, payment through web based online portal and online delivery of stack seismic data, well data and reports up to certain volume. iv. Facility of web based virtual data view rooms for anytime anywhere accessing of E&P data of the country equippedwith graphic intensive virtual workstations to facilitate detailed study / evaluation of the Oil and Gas data by prospective bidders. v. 24x7 Virtual Data Room - Online/ anywhere/anytime data visualization and interpretation facility. vi. Enhanced industry academia collaboration. vii. Safeguarding E&P data as a strategic national asset. viii. Enhanced application security. b) Data Management: i. To create a database platform to be able to apply Data Science methods such as AI and Machine Learning. ii. To leverage existing E&P data of NDR to gain understanding of potential occurrence of or delineation and development of oil and gas in the subsurface of a basin. iii. Automation of NDR system and processes will enhance end user experience and automate most of the repetitive work processes. iv. Improving upon key areas of NDR processes reduced data order processing time, while eliminating manual intervention at each step, efficient QC of data, faster user query resolution using cognitive technologies etc. c) Upgradation of Storage, Compute and Network: i. Enhanced disk storage based sub- system to facilitate efficient raw and raw/Pre-Stack data management and delivery. ii. 100% redundancy from disaster recovery point of view. iii. Improved efficiency in access of such data with low latency. iv. High speed direct link between NDR- DGH and Data Centre of Cloud Service Provider. v. Replacement of existing hardware with MEITY-empaneled Public cloud-based IT infrastructure i.e. Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for Primary Data Centre (PDC) and Disaster Recovery Solution for business continuity.
