“Additional Exploratory Drilling of 28 Wells in KG Basin On-Land PML Acreages of Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh” “Additional Exploratory Drilling of 28 wells in KG Basin on-land PML acreages of Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh” Intensive exploration is being carried out in KG on-land PEL-1A and PEL-1B blocks of Krishna Godavari Basin. Based on the hydrocarbon discoveries made so far and the upside hydrocarbon potential in the blocks, they have been converted to PML blocks for periods ranging from 7 to 20 years. The West Godavari PML including the smaller ML areas within constitutes erstwhile PEL-1A Block of the KG On-land Basin with an approximate area of 1837 Sq. Km and is having mining lease period from seven to twenty years. Krishna district constitutes about 1615 Sq. Km of West Godavari PML (including Lingala, Lingala extension, KK-12, Kaikalur-3, Vadali- 2, Nandigama, Malleswaram and Bantumilli PML areas). The relentless exploratory inputs expended by ONGC in the acreages falling in Krishna district lead to a good number of discoveries and leads. Eight hydrocarbon bearing fields viz. Nandigama, Kaikalur, Vadali, Lingala, Bantumilli, Kaza, Pendurru, Malleswaram and Vanadurru South were established so far. Carpet 3D seismic survey with improved imaging of the sub-surface has significantly changed the exploration scenario in the block, yielding discovery of Malleswaram and Vanadurru South oil fields from Nandigama Synrift sediments. Based on these leads, exploring Synrift sediments attain significance for further Hydrocarbon exploration and this block has large upside potential. Based on the Geological and Geophysical studies locations are firmed up for exploratory drilling to probe new prospects and also to delineate the existing oil and gas pools of the established fields. It is expected that the proposed drilling activities will lead to the accretion of the hydrocarbon reserves which will augment the production of hydrocarbons in the present scenario of growing demand of oil and gas in the country. Number of exploratory locations has been released for drilling and many prospects are being identified in all PML areas of the Krishna district and are planned to be drilled in next five years. Brief project details are given below: Additional Exploratory Drilling of 28 wells in KG Basin on- Name of the project land PML acreages of Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh. No.of wells to be drilled 28 Total cost of the project (Cr) 700 Duration of Drilling 3-4 months for each well Qty. of drilling fluid 700-900 M3/well Qty. of cuttings 220-250 M3/well All these wells are proposed to be drilled with water based mud only. However, in case of specific down-hole problems, low toxic Synthetic Oil Base Mud (SOBM) having LC50 > 30000 mg/L will be used. Unused SOBM mud will be collected and reused / sent to base. Low sulphur diesel and emission stack with bag filters will be used in DG sets to minimise emissions. Good international drilling practices will be adopted to minimise the effects of drilling on environment. .

    Prospectivity of rift fill sequences in Krishna-Godavari Basin (a case study of Kaza-Nandigama area) Arun Kumar Arya , N. Bhanumurty* and Anand Kumar, INTEG , GEOPIC , ONGC , Dehradun Abstract This paper pertains to the 3D area of Kaza-Nandigama area falling in West Godavari Sub Basin . 3D seismic data of Kaza-Nandigama area was acquired , processed and interpreted by ONGC. Authors have mapped 9 horizons from Lower Cretaceous to Oligocene top in the entire volume to decipher the structural configurations and for extracting the stratigraphic information in all sequences with an emphasis on rift fill sequences. The presence of hydrocarbons have been established in this area by wells on Kaza Horst and Bantumili Graben which produced gas from Upper and Lower Cretaceous sequences respectively. The rift fill sequences of Nimmakuru area are seen extending up to Kaza Horst. Sediments in these sequences are expected to be prospective at favourable entrapment conditions. Prospectivity to this effect has been discussed in Krishna Formation and older sequences in this corridor for hydrocarbon exploration. Fluvial channel system appears to be prevailing during Lower Cretaceous period as seen in the amplitude and inversion attribute studies of rift fill sequences and gas producing well in Nandigama area is situated in one of these channels. There is a lot of exploration potential left in these channels. Introduction Background Regional Geological setup The passive margin basin captures some of the stratigraphic complexities of rift basins because it focuses on The Krishna Godavari Basin is a passive margin basin the entire depositional environment, i.e. faulting, deposition, comprising of a number of North East - South West trending isostasy,erosion, and transport of sediments.

  • Situation Report
    Situation Report 5th October, 2009 Andhra Pradesh Floods Introduction: The massive flood in the Krishna River wreaked havoc in Kurnool, Krishna, Guntur and Nalgonda districts of Andhra Pradesh as enormous quantities of water were released from Nagarjunasagar dam and Vijayawada’s Prakasam Barrage inundating about 400 villages, including all island habitations. Over 13 lakh people were affected in five districts of Andhra Pradesh following unprecedented floods in Krishna river basin which has claimed 37 lives so far. The flood claimed 15 lives in Kurnool, 16 in Mahabubnagar, three in Krishna, two in Nalgonda and one in Guntur district, they said, adding that the toll may go up. According to officials 6,295 livestock also perished in the five districts with 6,189 cattle loss reported in the worst‐affected Kurnool district alone. As many as 478 villages in 87 'mandals' have been severely hit in the last four days with the heaviest flood in River Krishna ever in more than 100 years. Flood Situation: KURNOOL DISTRICT: Over 42,000 houses were damaged in Kurnool district followed by 11,680 in Mahabubnagar and reported 15 deaths in Kurnool. The flood situation in Kurnool town was danger of being submerged in the flood water of Tungabhadra River and also due to unprecedented inflows from Srisailam dam. Thousands of people in Kurnool and Mantralayam towns and dozens of adjoining villages were already trapped in flood water. This is the first time happen that situation in Kurnool district in 100 years. Nandyal town in Kurnool district was engulfed by the swollen Kundu river, which overflowed into the town and over 40 villages around it as water from the Krishna joined it.
