DGH, Directorate General of Hydrocarbons is the
technical arm of Ministry of Petroleum
Natural Gas, Govt. of India , to promote and
manage the Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas
resources effectively and efficiently with
balanced regard to the environmental, safety,
technological and economic aspects of the country
and the industry.
5
Resource Base

• Sedimentary Area 3.14 M. Sq. Km.
  ( 4 of the
  worlds sedimentary area)
• Sedimentary Basins 26
• Prognosticated Resources 28 Billion tonnes
  (205 Billion bbls)

Exploration Status
7
Exploration Status

• Only 18 of the total 3.14 million sq. km. has
  been extensively explored
• established
• Reserves estimated only in 15 of the 26 basins
• Low Drilling Density

8

• The exploration and production activities were
  carried out in various sedimentary blocks in
  India by NOCs on nomination basis till
  formulation NELP and ML policies
• After formulation of NELP and ML policies the
  blocks of sedimentary basins were awarded for
  Exploration and production activities to NOCs as
  well as Private Oil Companies on competitive
  bidding.

In addition to data generated by operations
under NELP ML blocks which are available with
DGH and by NOCs under nomination blocks various
government organizations were also actively
involved in acquisition, processing and
interpretation of Geo-science Data over many
years.

Nine organizations involved in Geo-Science
operations are members of NDR in India

• ONGC
• OIL
• GSI
• NGRI
• NRSA

• IIG
• IIS
• WIHG
• NIO

National Data Repository of Geo-Science data
acquired by these organizations will facilitate
all the participating companies a great deal in
Hydrocarbon prospecting in India in the open
acreage system.
22
NATIONAL DATA REPOSITORY VISION
To Provide World Class Environment for all E P
Activities in India
23
NATIONAL DATA REPOSITORY
MISSION To setup National Repository of
quality and reliable Geo-Science data in India
with provision for Seamless Access and On-line
Data Management for Knowledge Assimilation.
24
NATIONAL DATA REPOSITORY

• OBJECTIVES
• To Store, validate and maintain high quality
  reliable Geo-Science data
• To facilitate efficient data reporting, data
  exchange data trading among existing players
  including all Geo-scientific Agencies
• To Encourage new activity by providing high
  quality reliable data
• To secure time cost efficient and innovative
• services solutions
• Contd

25
NATIONAL DATA REPOSITORY OBJECTIVES

• To facilitate a synergetic approach to all the
• Geo-Scientists Petroleum Engineers
• To establish a link between all E P companies,
• Geo-scientific Agencies and Government
• To strengthen overall Geo-Science activities in
  India
• To have an open acreage system for an
• improved Global E P Business environment
• in India

26
MAJOR DATA CLASSES

• Gravity Magnetic, Aero-magnetic
  Magneto-telluric data
• Well Geological Data( Including Drilling
  Operation Data
• Well Log Data
• Geo-lab analysis data ( Geo-chemistry,
  Sedimentology, Palynology, Palentology Remote
  Sensing)
• 2D/3D Seismic, Navigational data, VSP
• Reservoir data

27
WHERE IS THE GS DATA ?

• Seismic Data/ Gravity magnetic/ Aero-magnetic/
  MT
• Tapes in Tape Libraries
• Films in Documentation Centres
• Logs
• Logging Sections
• Reports
• Documentation Centres, User groups
• Primary Secondary Data
• Well cards

28
Challenges

• Interoperability
• Data Sharing Policy
• Retrievability

Data Sharing Policy

• No Data Sharing Policy is in existence as of now
• Draft Data Sharing Policy under preparation
• Member organizations of NDR in India come under
  different Ministries which makes the task of
  data sharing policy difficult

31

• Data irrespective of, who has acquired it, is
  National Asset.
• Access to data should be given for National
  development.
• Enlightened geo-scientific ambience to be created
  so that any organization, university or academic
  institute has access to industry standard data to
  enable in evolving refined geological
  models/concepts of sedimentary basins.
• Rights to Information Act is coming in place in
  India.
