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

PROPOSED GRID PATTERN Areas will be defined and awarded in grid pattern

PROPOSED GRID PATTERN

1 X 1 grid will befurther divided in 10X10PROPOSED GRID PATTERN

ObjectivesDGH InitiativesData Types Business ModelProject Plan NDR PhasesPublic AccessNDR Functionalities ChallengesVision

OBJECTIVESEstablishing national data archivalImproving data quality and access for quality explorationTo cover larger area under explorationProviding basis for long term energy policy formulation

OBJECTIVESValidate, 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 DGHs ability to monitor and control the E&P activities and reporting

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

OBJECTIVESStrengthen 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 INITIATIVESStudy 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 imagesDATA TYPES- I

Reservoir and Production

Drilling

Gravity and magnetic

Geological and Geochemical data

MOBILIZATION & BUILD-UP PHASEMobilize 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 PHASEImplement 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 ACCESSGeneral 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 FUNCTIONALITIESGIS 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 FUNCTIONALITIESFor 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 FUNCTIONALITIESData 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

CHALLENGESEstablishing 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

NDR VISION Integration Of Following Data In The NDR : Oil Shale Shale Gas Surface Geological Data From GSI Coal Oceanographic Data Sea Bed Exploration Data

Seamless Data Flow & Exchange With Other NDRs

NDR VISION NDR as one stop shop for all fossil fuels & mineral resources data in India
