India’s Hydrocarbon Outlook 2024 37 A Report on Exploration & Production Activities Facies propagation in deepwater calls for mapping with high resolution seismic and well data. Synrift and Eocene plays can be targets for exploration. Intensive exploration is an opportunity to unfold immense prospectivity of the basin. Source: DGH Internal A total of three petroleum systems have been identified in the entire basin with multiple sources rocks in the onland part. Good Total Organic Carbon (TOC) of 1.5-13.5% are known from formations like Kommugudem, Gollapalli, Nandigama, Palakollu Formations. The discovery history plot of KG Basin confirms that the basin is still in the active stage of exploration. In the basin, 10 thermogenic plays are identified within Basement, Permian, Mesozoic, Paleocene, Eocene, Miocene, Pliocene. Besides, 2 biogenic plays have been established in MioPliocene sequences. Petroleum system was modelled in 3D basis, as KG basin has adequate data-sets. Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin has a total hydrocarbon in-place of 4,772 MMTOE. This includes discovered inplace of 1,976 MMTOE and undiscovered risked inplace of 2,796 MMTOE. The discovered in-place is under commercial production. The basin has 58.6% of total inplace, potential to be explored and discovered. Discoveries and Development: 3 field development plans were reviewed during the year under DSF regime in Shallow water. 2 field development plans were reviewed during the year under NELP regime in Deepwater. Overview of producing fields: Commercial production in Onland sub-basin commenced in 1994. Major producing fields with cumulative production in parenthesis are namely Pasarlapudi (12 BCM), Kesavadasapalem (5 BCM), Kesanapalli West (3 MMT, 2 BCM), Endamuru (2 BCM), Gopavaram (1.6 MMT). The sub-basin has 40 fields with 251 wells. The maximum flow rates achieved by any field on record in 2023-24 are, Oil 1,580 BOPD and Gas 1 MMSCMD. Commercial production in Shallow water sub-basin commenced in 1994. Major producing fields with cumulative production in parenthesis are namely Ravva (42 MMT, 13 BCM). The sub-basin has 11 fields with 48 wells. The maximum flow rates achieved by any field on record in 2023-24 are, Oil 9,300 BOPD and Gas 1 MMSCMD. Commercial production in Deepwater subbasin commenced in 2008. Major producing fields with cumulative production in parenthesis are namely KG-DWN-98/3 (4.7 MMT, 104 BCM), KG-DWN-98/2 (0.1 MMT, 1 BCM). The sub-basin has 3 fields with 25 wells. The maximum flow rates achieved by any field on record in 2023-24 are, Oil 20,600 BOPD and Gas 29 MMSCMD. Hydrocarbon prospectivity and Basin maturity:
