India’s Hydrocarbon Outlook 2024 59 A Report on Exploration & Production Activities Source: DGH Internal Basin datasets, studies and opportunities: As of 31.03.2024, NDR has archived data of 110,432 LKM 2D seismic, 76,319 SKM 3D seismic and 107 wells. Under various campaigns by GoI, geophysical data were acquired, initially in onland basins and later, extended to offshore areas. Under National Seismic Programme (NSP), 911 LKM 2D seismic data were acquired. The offshore was part of 8,234 LKM East Coast EEZ 2D seismic survey programme. The basin has been identified for drilling of one stratigraphic well under the GoI-approved plan. University of Western Australia, Perth had carried out the stratigraphic and geomorphic analysis of deepwater deposits. The basin is under active study by University of Houston, Texas, USA.
