42 INDIA'S HYDROCARBON OUTLOOK 2024-2025
The basin has 73.8% of total in-place, potential to
be explored and discovered.
• Basin datasets and studies:
As of 31.03.2025, NDR has archived primary
datasets of 55,094 LKM 2D seismic, 20,186
SKM 3D seismic and 39 conventional wells (all
exploratory). Multiple flavour of reprocessed
seismic datasets are also archived whenever the
same are provided by E&P Operators.
The basin has been identified for drilling of one
stratigraphic well under the GoI-approved plan.
