  • Mapping Land Subsidence of Krishna – Godavari Basin Using Persistent Scatterer Interferometry Technique
    Mapping Land Subsidence of Krishna – Godavari Basin using Persistent Scatterer Interferometry Technique Lokhande Rohith Kumar, Divya Sekhar Vaka, Y. S. Rao Centre of Studies in Resources Engineering, IIT Bombay, Powai-400076, Mumbai, India Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] KEYWORDS: Interferometry, subsidence, PALSAR, oil and gas wells ABSTRACT SAR Interferometry (InSAR) is a technique by which a wide area can be mapped for surface deformation. The conventional InSAR technique has limitations due to baseline restriction, atmospheric phase delay and temporal decorrelation. Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) technique is an advanced InSAR technique, and it mitigates the atmospheric phase delay effect and geometric decorrelation to a large extent by utilizing a stack of interferograms and gives time series deformation with high accuracy. Extraction of oil and natural gas from underground deposits leads to land subsidence. The East coast of Andhra Pradesh (AP) state in Krishna-Godavari basin is most likely to be affected by this phenomena because of extraction of oil and natural gas from its underground reservoirs for the last two decades. In this paper, an attempt is made to know how the urban cities in this region are affected due to land subsidence using PSI technique. For this, two coastal test areas are selected and ALOS-1 PALSAR datasets from 2007 to 2011 comprising of 11 and 13 scenes are processed using PSI technique. Although the area predominantly agriculture, small villages, towns and cities provide adequate Persistent Scatterers (PS). From the results, land deformation rates of different cities in test area are observed.

IDPAD Working Paper No. 4. IDPAD: New Delhi and IDPAD: The Hague, 2006 (www. IDPAD.org). The Project, Co-operation in a Context of Crisis: Public-Private Management of Marine Fisheries in South Asia, was part of the fifth phase of the Indo-Dutch Programme for Alternative Development (2003-2006).

The help of many Government officers is greatly appreciated. On the whole, I was impressed by their professionalism, commitment and concern. They gave me their valuable time; and most of them were extremely candid. Much that they told me was ‘off the record’. I have tried to protect their anonymity by normally not citing them by name in the report. There are far too many to individuals to mention them all.

(APGDC), a 50:50 Joint Venture of Government of Andhra Pradesh (represented by Andhra Pradesh Gas Infrastructure Corporation Ltd. – APGIC, Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation – APGENCO & Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation – APIIC) and GAIL Gas Ltd. (100% Subsidiary of GAIL (India) Ltd., a Central PSU), has been incorporated on 10th January 2011 with an objective of designing / developing Natural Gas supply / Distribution Network, Gas Processing through Liquefaction / Re-gasification Plants and to import, store, transport & distribute Natural Gas in the entire state of Andhra Pradesh. The initial authorized Share Capital of APGDC is Rs. 500 Crore. APGDC, in July 2014, was granted Authorization by PNGRB to lay, build, operate and expand Kakinada – Srikakulam Natural Gas Pipeline (KSPL). As per the terms of the Authorization, the Pipeline was to be commissioned within 36 months i.e. by July 2017. While conceptualizing KSPL, (proposed) Kakinada FSRU & Gangavaram LNG Terminal were considered the main gas sources. However, due to various techno-commercial issues including Gas pricing / firm commitments for Terminal capacity utilization, proposed FSRU & LNG Terminal projects have not come up, thereby constraining APGDC to identify a reliable alternative Gas Source for KSPL prior to commencing the Project execution activities. Accordingly, initial project take off was delayed and APGDC could not complete the Project by July 2017.
