India’s Hydrocarbon Outlook 2024 125 A Report on Exploration & Production Activities In-house sub-surface studies: 1) Geo-Body and Geostatistical Modelling of Carbonate Reservoir Facies Architecture and Characterization: This study employs geo-body modelling to characterize reservoir variability and facies architecture in a field within the Mumbai High-Deep Continental Shelf of Mumbai Offshore Basin. By integrating geo-body extraction and geostatistical modelling, it effectively delineates facies architecture and reservoir heterogeneity. Results are published in the International Journal of Petroleum Technology. 2) Analyzing Average Rig Time and Ease of Drilling in Indian Sedimentary Basins: An Informative Tool for Exploration DecisionMaking: Using data from over 19,000 wells, this study provides insights into drilling durations and ease in Indian sedimentary basins. Calculating average rig time and total depth, and visualizing them as basinwise maps, aids in estimating drilling costs and understanding structural variations. The ease of drilling metric offers valuable information for exploration project decision-making. Findings are published in the Journal of Geosciences Insights. 3) Estimating Source Rock Parameters by Integrating Wireline Logs with Geochemical Data in Eocene Sediments of KG Basin, India This study was carried out to evaluate organic content of source rocks within Eocene sediments and assessing their potential forgeneratinghydrocarbonsusing wireline log data. This study has revealed that average TOC of Eocene sediment is around 2.3%. TOC value is much higher in Godavari delta region compared to Krishna delta region. Study outcome was published in 14th international SPG conference held in Kochi on November 2023. 4) Illumination of Subsurface Geological Elements using new seismic data in the East of Andaman basin with promising prospects for oil and gas exploration This study is conducted on newly acquired and processed seismic data from the East Coast of Andaman Basin. Various sedimentary units have been mapped to identify paleo-environments and trace the basin’s evolution. It also revealed major fault developments and stratigraphic features, which are uniformly distributed during the tertiary and may serve as hydrocarbon entrapment zones. Study outcome was published at India Energy Week, 2024, Goa, India. Promoting E&P research in Indian academic institute/university: Under clause 5.3 of NDR Policy, students of recognised universities and research institutes are eligible to obtain data up to 50 Sq. km of area free of charge for E&P related research & development purpose. In this financial year, students of IIT Kharagpur, IIT Bombay, IIT Chennai and IIT ISM received data free of charge for research work. National Data Repository 2.0 The NDR has been operational since June 2017, so far successfully meeting the demands of all of its stakeholders such as investors, operators, service-providers, R&D institutes, academia, and government bodies. However, with the rapid transformation of digital technology and the emergence of cloud technology, along with advancements in E&P data management, DGH has decided to upgrade it to Next Generation cloud based National data repository. Next generation National Data Repository 2.0 (NDR 2.0) aims to substantially improve the data accessibility (downloading), data reporting, submission (uploading) and enhance storage (for all E&P data types including seismic field data) and create a cloud-enabled database platform. To fulfil this objective DGH has engaged project management consultant,
