It is also the earnest desire of the Chapter to keep stimulating with new ideas and avenues. This resulted in a thought provoking technical session titled “Unlocking Unconventional Hydrocarbon Potential in India – Making it happen” on 15th March, 2019.</p> <p class="text-justify">The technical session was graced by some luminaries of the geoscientific community like Shri G. S. Chaturvedi, Director (E)- ONGC Videsh, Shri Pinakadhar Mohapatra, Director (E), Cairn-Vedanta, Shri Satchidananda Rath, Former Director (Ops.)-OIL and Shri Sudhakar Mahapatra, Former Director (E&D)-OIL.</p> <p class="text-justify">At the very onset, Mr R. K. Pati, Secretary APG-Delhi Chapter, extended warm welcome to the fraternity and conveyed the blessings of Shri A.K. Dwivedi Director (Exploration) and Patron, APG. The session was inaugurated by lighting of the auspicious lamp by the dignitaries. Mr. Pati also cordially extended gratitude to Cairn-Vedanta for sponsoring the meet.</p> <div class="section-content"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 text-center"> <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-6 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/exploring-of-shale-hydrocarbons-img1.jpg" /></div> <div class="chapter-details text-center pt-15 pb-10"> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-6 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/exploring-of-shale-hydrocarbons-img2.jpg" /></div> <div class="chapter-details text-center pt-15 pb-10"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p class="text-justify">The first talk of the evening dealt with <b>“Exploring of Shale Hydrocarbons in Indian Basins”</b> and was delivered by Dr. Y Ramesh Chandra, Head COD-Shale Gas and Shri A. K. Sinha of ONGC. Dr. Chandra explained that shale-hydrocarbon is a scenario in which Shale acts as the source, reservoir and seal. However, the major issue with shale is its low permeability, because of which exploitation of hydrocarbon from shale requires extensive and efficient hydro fracturing. To emulate the recent success achieved by USA in shale oil/gas, ONGC has focused its efforts in Cambay Basin, KG Basin and A&AA Basins. The talk was ably supplemented by Mr A. K. Sinha with specific studies pertaining to shale property, rock mechanics, gas property and core analyses in addition to conventional geological, geochemical and petrophysical studies. He apprised the house that ONGC has established shale oil play systems within Cambay and KG Basins.</p> <div class="section-content"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 text-center"> <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-6 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/exploring-of-shale-hydrocarbons-img3.jpg" /></div> <div class="chapter-details text-center pt-15 pb-10"> <h5 class="chapter-title mt-0"><a href="#">Dr. Y.

The high clay content of shale too is a concern as it reduces the brittleness. It was concluded that keeping in mind the highly rich Barmer Shales with Type-I Kerogen, other basins in India like Raniganj and North Barmer can also be explored.</p> <p class="text-justify">The second talk of the evening was titled <b>“Unconventional Thinking for an Unconventional Opportunity in Barmer Basin”</b>, delivered by Mr Dennis Beliveau and Dr. Utpalendu Kuila from Cairn-Vedanta. They mentioned that unconventional hydrocarbon source like shale oil/gas is a case of “permeabilitychallenged” or “mobility challenged”. They also came to a conclusion that the Shale probed so far in Indian Basins, mostly comprise of Type-III Kerogen with low thermal maturity. They are optimistic that there will be other areas having high TOC and Type-I Kerogen like Barmer Basin. They shared that the preliminary success in three wells of Barmer basin was achieved by identifying prospective areas using Trinity model in conjunction with producibility maps and storage model. They cautioned that for fair footing it will require much more sampling and refinement of the existing models. They concluded that unlike conventional resource where we follow Explore-Appraise-Develop cycle, the success mantra for unconventional resource play may be <b>“Plan-Do- Measure-Learn-Repeat”</b> cycle.</p> <div class="section-content"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 text-center"> <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-6 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/exploring-of-shale-hydrocarbons-img5.jpg" /></div> <div class="chapter-details text-center pt-15 pb-10"> <h5 class="chapter-title mt-0"><a href="#">Mr Dennis Beliveau</a></h5> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-6 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/exploring-of-shale-hydrocarbons-img6.jpg" /></div> <div class="chapter-details text-center pt-15 pb-10"> <h5 class="chapter-title mt-0"><a href="#">Dr. Utpalendu Kuila</a></h5> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p class="text-justify">These very two engaging talks on Shale Oil/Gas were followed by another vista of unconventional i.e. the Coal Bed Methane (CBM). The talk titled <b>“Exploration and Development of CBM–An Indian Odyssey”</b> was delivered by Mr. Dilip Chakrabarti, ONGC. He introduced the concept of coal bed methane to the house, and stated India’s dominant position as one of the top coal producer in the world. Coal Bed Methane (CBM) is a generic term for the methane gas adsorbed on the surfaces of the coal, stored as free gas or as dissolved gas in water within the cleats and pores. Coal itself acts as source, reservoir and trap with storing capacity almost 6 to 7 times more than the equivalent rock volume of a conventional gas reservoir. CBM has about 70-80% heat value as compared to natural gas. A salient feature of methane recovered from coal mines helps reduce in greenhouse gas emission and safety of gassy mines. Mr. Chakrabarti enlightened the house that of the three types of CBM ventures, namely, Coal Mine Methane (CMM), Abandoned Mine Methane (AMM) and Virgin Coal Bed Methane (VCBM); Indian CBM policy aims for VCBM. The talk was concluded with a glimpse of the four CBM Blocks held by ONGC (Bokaro, Jharia, Raniganj and North Karanpura). It was heartening to note that there has been a significant rise in CBM production in the last two years and in foreseeable future CBM may come up as a credible replacement to the expensive Liquefied Natural Gas.</p> <div class="section-content"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12 mb_30 text-center"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img alt="" class="img-responsive img-thumbnail" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/exploring-of-shale-hydrocarbons-img7.jpg" /></div> <div class="chapter-details text-center pt-15 pb-10"> <h5 class="chapter-title mt-0"><a href="#">Mr. Dilip Chakrabarti</a></h5> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p class="text-justify">While delivering the concluding remarks Mr. S.

He explained that subtle/stratigraphic entrapments and uncommon reservoir conditions like turbidites and carbonate reefs account for most of the aerially extensive global giant fields. Understanding these plays are essential, and analogies from other basins need to be drawn for exercising in our domestic areas. However, one should be wary of overusing these analogies.

Dr. Basu, who has had the honour of working with several eminent geologists like Dr. Bouma and Dr. Posamantier, began his lecture by visually enticing the audience with the formation of a turbidite. He emphasised that turbidite flows result in the deposition of thin sand bedswhich subsequently form subtle pays and are prevalently available in deep-water settings. They are not only more numerous, but also aerially more extensive. These turbidite sands are of very good reservoir quality and have been successfully probed in Gulf of Mexico, West Africa and Asia (Myanmar and KG Basin in India). Dr. Basu further elaborated typical standardised workflow to explore and monetise these reservoirs with the help of analogues.</p> <div class="section-content"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12 mb_30 text-center"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img alt="" class="img-responsive img-thumbnail" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/stratigraphic-trap-exploration-delhi-chp-img4.jpg" /></div> <div class="chapter-details text-center pt-15 pb-10"> <h5 class="chapter-title mt-0"><a href="#">Dr. Debnath Basu</a></h5> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p class="text-justify">The session stirred the inquisitiveness in several attendees and there were a flood of queries to both the speakers.</p> <p class="text-justify">The extremely informative and thought provoking technical discussions were followed by concluding statements and technical takeaway from the eminent dignitaries present at the gathering.</p> <div class="section-content"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 text-center"> <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/stratigraphic-trap-exploration-delhi-chp-img5.jpg" /></div> </div> <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/stratigraphic-trap-exploration-delhi-chp-img6.jpg" /></div> </div> <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/stratigraphic-trap-exploration-delhi-chp-img7.jpg" /></div> </div> <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/stratigraphic-trap-exploration-delhi-chp-img8.jpg" /></div> </div> <div class="chapter-details text-center pt-15 pb-10"> <h5 class="chapter-title mt-0"><a href="#">Interactive Session</a></h5> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section-content"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 text-center"> <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/stratigraphic-trap-exploration-delhi-chp-img9.jpg" /></div> </div> <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/stratigraphic-trap-exploration-delhi-chp-img10.jpg" /></div> </div> <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/stratigraphic-trap-exploration-delhi-chp-img11.jpg" /></div> </div> <div class="col-sm-3 col-md-3 col-lg-3 mb_30"> <div class="chapter-thumb"><img class="img-responsive img-thumbnail mb_10" src="/UserFiles/images/apg-india/stratigraphic-trap-exploration-delhi-chp-img12.jpg" /></div> </div> <div class="chapter-details text-center pt-15 pb-10"> <h5 class="chapter-title mt-0"><a href="#">Clockwise from the top left- Dr. P Chandrasekaran, Mr. Sudhir Sharma, Dr. N.K.
