EXPLORATION LICENSING POLICY

• New Exploration Licensing Policy approved in
  February, 1997
• Formulated in 1997-98 to provide a level playing
  field to all companies, Public Private
• Operationalised in 1999
• Award of licenses through international
  competitive bidding
• Prior to NELP acreages were awarded on nomination
  basis to National Oil Companies (NOCs) namely
  ONGC OIL

FUTURE LICENSING POLICY

• New Licensing Exploration Policy (NELP) launched
  in 1998 (8 Rounds)
• Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP) to be
  launched soon

17
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

22
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

23
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 DGHs ability to monitor and control the
  EP activities and reporting
• Encourage new E P activities by providing high
  quality and reliable data

24
OBJECTIVES

• Strengthen overall EP activities in India
• Support an open acreage system for an improved
  Global EP Business environment in India
• Provide quality EP data for Processing,
  Interpretation and Visualization Centers at DGH

25
DGH INITIATIVES

• Study of globally successful NDRs like NPD
• Collaboration with Norwegian Petroleum
  Directorate (NPD)
• A business and operational model worked out

BUSINESS MODEL

• State owned
• Build, Populate and Operate on Turnkey basis
• DGH to procure all hardware and software
• Maintenance and Operation shall be under contract
• All data associated with the NDR will be the
  property of Govt. of India.

NDR PROJECT PLAN

30
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

31
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

32
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

33
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.

34
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

35
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

36
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

37
CHALLENGES

• Establishing a high quality set of meta data
• Collection, Validation and Standardisation of
  Legacy data
