India’s Hydrocarbon Outlook 2024 100 A Report on Exploration & Production Activities Like offshore, onland datasets are provided to Universities and Institutes as a part MoUs on basin research. Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University(PDEU), Gandhinagar carried out prospectivity study of Kutch and Saurashtra basins (both onland and offshore). In a similar scope, Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT), Amethi conducted prospectivity analysis of Ganga-Punjab and Vidhyan basins. DGH, as a part of collaborative studies of Indian basins had signed several MoUs with Geological Survey of India (GSI), Indian Institute of Technology(IIT)-Indian School of Mines(ISM), Dhanbad; Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology (WIHG), Dehradun. Besides, Source: DGH Internal COLLABORATIVE STUDIES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN ONLAND: As of April 1, 2024, NDR has archived 3.7 million line km 2D seismic data, 1.2 million sq km 3D seismic data, 23,600+ wells and 49,700+ reports. These data include all value-added reprocessed variants along with 2D seismic data acquired under various GoI-sponsored campaign namely NSP(46,978 LKM), Andaman(22,564 LKM) and EEZ(79,540 LKM). Out of 3.36 million sq km basin area, 2.45 million sq km (73%) has been appraised and 0.37 sq km area(11%) is active under different operating regimes. one MoU with Central Mine Planning and Design Institute(CMPDI), Ranchi is at proposal stage for unconventional CBM study including drilling of core holes. While GSI picked up research study in Bikaner-Nagaur subbasin and Cuddapah basin. WIHG chose Amguri field and adjoining areas of Assam Shelf basin to study tectonic anomaly using AI/ML technique. The institute had also conducted similar study in KG and Cambay basins pertaining to organic carbon assessment and flow rate study from production logs respectively. IIT-ISM has completed an independent assessment of CBM potential. As a part of GoI-sponsored initiatives, countrylevel assessment of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons is currently formulated with proposed participation of NOCs and major private E&P Operators. Such study is expected to be software-agnostic and expert-reviewed with results integrated into a National Hydrocarbon Atlas The Chapter herein presented is intended to give an overview of India’s sedimentary basins with a summative reference to brief exploration history, key facts and studies, status of available datasets, including information of latest survey data, acquired and proposed under GoI’s continued data acquisition programme.
