1.0-Executive Summary

Project Identification and Background

In Chinnewala Tibba Field, ONGC had discovered gas in four exploratory wells viz. CT#1,

CT#2, CT#3 & CT#4 in its Cretaceous reservoirs namely, Lower Goru and Pariwar sands. The

breakthrough has opened up large areas for future accelerated exploratory activities and

subsequent development of the area. Chinnewala Tibba Field in Jaisalmer, covering area of

114.86 sq km with validity up to 15.10.2023.Discovery of Chinnewala Tibba Field in Jaisalmer,

has also established the exploration prospectivity of Cretaceous plays in the entire Jaisalmer

Basin.

To monetize the Chinewala Tibba Field, ONGC has plans to start production from the

existing exploratory wells namely CT-1, CT-2 &CT-4 in Phase I. In Phase II, it is proposed

to drill Development wells viz.ICT-1, ICT-2, ICT-3, ICT-4, ICT-5 & ICT-6 to augment

production from the field.

In order to transport gas from Chinnewala Tibba Field to Gas Collecting Station (GCS) facility

at Gamnewala, Jaisalmer, ONGC proposes to lay 42 km Underground Pipeline of 10” diameter

from Chinnewala Tibba Field to GCS. Further to cater to the increase in production, it is also

proposed to up-grade existing GCS facility at Gamnewala from 200000 Standard Cubic

Metre per day (SCMD) to 500000 SCMD.To increase the capacity of GCS, installation of

high and low pressure separators including Field Manifold is required. The existing Flare line

capacity (Box Type) and Gas Compression System are to be installed for transporting gas from

GCS to GAIL trunk pipeline.

2.0-Introduction of the Project / Background Information

2.1- Identification of project and project proponent

The hydrocarbon exploration activities in the Jaisalmer Basin started in late fifties with the initiation of

the geological mapping. This was followed by Gravity-Magnetic survey and conventional seismic

investigations and finally by the drilling of the first well in 1964. Exploration endeavours by ONGC

during the last five decades have resulted in discovery of eight gas fields in the Jaisalmer Basin. These

gas fields are Manhera Tibba, Bankia, Ghotaru, Bakhri Tibba, Kharatar, Sadewala, Chinnewala Tibba

and Chanwarwala Dara.

Chinnewala Tibba structure is an independent structural closure on the south-western part of the

Jaisalmer Mari High. The structure extends from Jaisalmer to Khuiala levels with varying degree of

amplitude and is bounded by north – south oriented faults both in the east as well west.

The field has multi- layered gas reservoirs in Lower Goru and Pariwar formations (Early-Middle

Cretaceous). Indication of light crude oil/ condensate (API: 45-550) has also been observed during

testing of wells CT-1, 2 & 4. The field is spread in N-S direction, measuring about 13 KM in length and

3 to 5 KM in width.

In Chinnewala Tibba Field, ONGC has discovered gas in four exploratory wells viz. CT#1, CT#2,

CT#3 & CT#4 in its Cretaceous reservoirs namely, Lower Goru and Pariwar sands. The breakthrough

has opened up large areas for future accelerated exploratory activities and subsequent development of

the area. Discovery of Chinnewala Tibba ML had has also established the exploration prospectivity of

Cretaceous plays in the entire Jaisalmer Basin.

The total area of the Chinnewala Tibba Field (ML is 114.86 Sq. M. The Mining lease has been

granted by the Government of Rajasthan vide order F.18 (5)/Mines/Gr.2/2004 dated 06.02.2008 with

validity up to 15.10.2023.

2.2-Brief Description of the Nature of Project

The project involves the monetization of Chinnewala Tibba Field through gas production. The

various activities of the project are: A. Up gradation of GCS at Gamnewala, Jaisalmer (Dist.)

Existing Gas Compression facility to be increased to from 200000 SCMD to 500000

SCMD

Hook up of High pressure gas lines

Three Phase High Pressure Separator

Low Pressure Separator

Field Manifold(in between)

Existing Flare line capacity(Box Type)

N2 & CO2 separation plants to be installed.

Gas Compression System for transportation from GCS to GAIL trunk pipeline.

B. Laying of Underground Pipeline: 10” Dia. x 42 KM from Chinewala Tibba (CT) Field, to

the existing GCS at Gamnewala.

C. Production from Wells:

Phase-I: Conversion of exploratory wells viz.CT-1, CT-2 &CT-4 to Development wells for

production.

Phase-II: Development drilling for production from six new wells viz.ICT-1, ICT-2, ICT-3,

ICT-4, ICT-5 & ICT-6.

2.3 Need for the Project and its importance to the country and or region

With conversion of exploratory wells to development wells & drilling of proposed development wells

in the Chinewala Tibba Field, present gas production is expected to increase which would contribute

in the development of the remote desert area of the country.

The increased production would generate additional revenue for the State Government as well as the

Central Government by way of payments on account of royalty, cess, and taxation. This will also assist

in the economic development of this less developed area of Rajasthan by means of generating direct

and indirect employment opportunities for the local people of the region.

2.4 –Demand Supply Gap

The proposed project would definitely play its part in reducing the gap between the demand and

supply of gas. RRVUNL (Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd.) is only established customer

for gas in Jaisalmer Basin is going to increase its output due to more gas supply from the proposed

project which will bridge the gap between demand and supply of power for the domestic consumer. It

will open up avenues for more commercial and industrial activities.

2.5- Import vs. Indigenous production

India’s impetus is on to increase the indigenous production of oil and gas so as to meet the growing

demand of the country. We are presently importing around 75%-80% of our crude oil requirement,

which results in hefty import bills. Increase in domestic production of gas will surely help in securing

our energy demand and also, it would save on the huge import bills.

2.6 -Export Possibility

India is an energy deficit country, as such all indigenous oil and gas production is consumed

domestically. The proposed project would not have any impact on export, however, gas production

from Chinewala Tibba Field will be sent to RRVUNL (Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd.)

for power generation for domestic use.

2.7- Domestic / Export Market

Gas produced at Chinewala Tibba Field is being sent to RRVUNL (Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan

Nigam Ltd.) at Ramgarh for power production for domestic consumption only.

2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project

Proposed activities shall assist in the economic development of this less developed area of Rajasthan

and will help in generating direct and indirect employment opportunities for the local people in the

field of transport sector, oil field services, civil construction, skilled and non-skilled employment etc.

3.0-PROJECT DESCRIPTION
