MINISTER IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM & NATURAL GAS

(SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

(a) & (b): Exploration & Production (E&P) operations in India have generated voluminous
data in terms of geo-scientific surveys, exploratory and development drilling and well data
along with other type of data. National Data Repository (NDR) has been setup at Directorate
General of Hydrocarbon to make the entire E&P data available for commercial exploitation,
research & development and academic purpose. With the availability of data on National
Data Repository (NDR), the contactors can have the access to data & can make their own
assessment about the prospectivity of the area. The contractor can carve out hydrocarbon
block/ field of his choice based on the data and submit Expression of Interest (EoI) for
bidding under the Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP). NDR has been launched on 28th
June, 2017.
(c): The State-wise details of reserves accretion alongwith quantum of oil and gas available
in those reserves by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) Limited, Oil India Limited
(OIL), Private/Joint Venture (Pvt./JVs) in the country during the financial year 2014-15 to
January, 2018 are at Annexure.
(d): Exploratory activities are kept on hold in State of Nagaland in absence of permission of
State Government. Also, in Neduvasal, Tamilnadu some local people/ organizations have
filed petition in National Green Tribunal (NGT) against the exploration and production
activities in the area.
