In August 2005, Reliance and HEPI were
awarded, under NELP V, a second licence in the deepwater Krishna
Godavari Basin. The D3 licence encompasses an area of 3,288 km2,
in water depths of 400 m to 2,100 m, and is located approximately
45 km from the east coast. Reliance is the operator.
The licence had approximately 210 km2 of existing 3D seismic data,
which has been reprocessed. The A-1 and B-1 locations were
identified after this data was interpreted and mapped. Under Phase
– I of exploration programme, 1,930 km2 of 3D data was acquired in
the year 2007. Presently, depth migration and inversion processing
is being carried out on this data at GXT ION.
The various play types envisaged in this block are:
High amplitude geobody with prominent direct hydrocarbon
indicators within the Pleistocene/Pliocene
stratigraphic sequence.
|
|
High amplitude deep water
channel complex with well preserved channel geometry within
Middle Miocene/Upper Miocene sequence.
|
|
|
Roll over anticline within
Lower Miocene/Middle Miocene sequence with concentration of high
amplitude channel like depositional features at the crest.
|
|
|
High amplitude channel like
features truncated by unconformity which provides the top and
lateral seal.
|
|
|
Deep water fan lobe on roll
over anticline within Pleistocene sequence.
