India’s Hydrocarbon Outlook 2024 129 A Report on Exploration & Production Activities Mission Anveshan: Based on the results of NSP data, there were areas identified with potential leads which called for detailed analysis and mapping with close grid data. Under this programme titled Mission Anveshan, 20,275 LKM closed 2D seismic survey was planned in 7 onland sedimentary basins. Approved in February 2024, the tendering of services was in progress at the time of writing the report. Extended Continental Shelf Survey (ECS): To enhance Sub-surface understanding, GoI has recently approved drilling of 4 stratigraphic wells in deepwater in Andaman, Mahanadi, Bengal and Saurashtra Basins. As a support of claim of extended continental shelf beyond EEZ by Ministry of Earth Sciences, both in eastern and western offshore, DGH had planned 30,000 LKM of close-spaced 2D seismic survey. This would help enable acquisition of key subsurface data to establish shelf extension beyond EEZ. The proposed survey was currently at the stage of tendering process for hiring suit able agency.
