Re-assessment of Shale Oil Gas Resource Potential of Indian Sedimentary Basins

摘要

1. Development of viable policy for exploration and exploitation of Oil Shale & Shale Gas 2. Compilation of available geoscientific data (Geological, Geophysical, Geochemical, Petrophysical and borehole logs) for potential shale gas basins of India (Cambay, Damodar and Assam-Arakan etc.) 3. Setting up of centre of excellence for geochemical, petrophysical, & mineralogical studies for evaluation of shale oil & gas potential of sedimentary basins of India 4. Drilling of experimental wells for collection of fresh core samples 5. International collaboration in the area of sub-surface retorting, horizontal drilling and hydro-fracturing 6. Environmental policy for use of water while drilling and fracturing and for disposal of hydraulic fracturing fluid.
