FUTURE LICENSING POLICY

• New Licensing Exploration Policy (NELP) launched in 1998 (8 Rounds)

• Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP) to be launched soon

OALP FRAMEWORK

Indian territory demarcated into grid pattern

with grid size 10 x 10 as zones with further

sub-division into sectors of size10’ x 10’

These zones and sectors will provide basis of

selection of size and shape of grid pattern of

future exploration blocks

NDR-India

• Objectives• DGH Initiatives• Data Types • Business Model• Project Plan • NDR Phases• Public Access• NDR Functionalities • Challenges• Vision

OBJECTIVES

Establishing national data archival

Improving data quality and access for quality

exploration

To cover larger area under exploration

Providing basis for long term energy policy

formulation

OBJECTIVES

Validate, store and maintain high quality and reliable geo-scientific data

Facilitate efficient data reporting, data exchange, and data trading among existing players including all geo-scientific agencies

Improve DGH’s ability to monitor and control the E&P activities and reporting

Encourage new E & P activities by providing high quality and reliable data

OBJECTIVES

Strengthen overall E&P activities in India

Support an open acreage system for an improved Global E&P Business environment in India

Provide quality E&P data for Processing, Interpretation and Visualization Centers at DGH

DGH INITIATIVES

Study of globally successful NDRs like NPD

Collaboration with Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD)

A business and operational model worked out

Cultural data Concession boundaries & Basin boundaries

Coverage areas for E & P data sets & Facilities

Political boundaries (state, national & international and other administration areas)

Rivers, roads & land-use patterns

Bathymetry data & National Grid data Seismic (Raw and Processed)

Well and Log

Core interval, scanned core images

DATA TYPES- I

Initial Population

PhaseOperation Phase

2012-13 2013-14 2014-1509-10 2010-11 2011-12

MOBILIZATION & BUILD-UP PHASE

• Mobilize the implementation team

• Shipment and install the hardware and software

• Test and verify communications, web access and robotics

• Perform all tasks required prior to the commencement of the initial population and operation phases

• Prepare site-specific Operations & Maintenance manuals encompassing all NDR services

MOBILIZATION & BUILD-UP PHASE

• Implement data loading methodology

• Deploy and test the Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity plans

• Formulate the data loading strategy and priorities

• Establish all relevant standards (for naming conventions, data standards, submission standards, etc.)

• Establish Contract performance measurement and reporting procedures

• Put into operation the quality management plan and the HSE plan

NDR DATA LOADING

NDR will be populated, in the next five years, with geo-scientific data of the magnitude of

2.2 million line kms of 2D Seismic 1.0 million sq kms of 3D Seismic Logs of 8,500 wells 17,000 well reports and 34,000 scanned logs and 2,300 Seismic reports

The NDR is scheduled to be operational by mid 2010

PUBLIC ACCESS

• General information about NDR and DGH

• Inventory of E & P data

• News on DGH activities including upcoming NELP Rounds and OALP

• Well locations

• 2D lines and 3D survey outlines

• Lease boundaries

• Cultural data, etc.

NDR FUNCTIONALITIES

• GIS user interface to handle metadata

• Independent Web-based access

• Data capture of original format for seismic and log data

• For seismic data, the preservation and storing of acquisition and processing parameters

• Ability to store data (seismic & raw logs) in on-line, near-line and off-line modes

• Keyword searches for metadata

NDR FUNCTIONALITIES

• For seismic data, ability to select and deliver selected subsets of data within a geographical area, according to entitlements

• Tracking and delivery of data orders via WWW or direct connect

• Ability to read data delivered on various media such as 4mm, 8mm, 3480, 3490, 3590, 3592 and LTO

• Ability to load header information – seismic and logs

NDR FUNCTIONALITIES

• Data output in common projection/datum formats

• Snapshot of trace data prior to downloading large volumes.

• Link to physical assets inventory

• Preparation and plotting of various maps in multiple formats (e.g. CGM, postscript, PDF)

• Data entitlement shall be accomplished by adding/modifying entitlement records rather than by data duplications.

• Business Continuity and Disaster recovery

CHALLENGES

• Establishing a high quality set of meta data

• Collection, Validation and Standardisation of Legacy data

• Commitment from E&P companies

• Matching of already awarded exploration block boundary with OALP grid pattern
