2. Annual Conference on
India’s Readiness for tapping Unconventional Hydrocarbon Resources
Background
Global oil and gas industry has consistently demonstrated remarkable acumen for technology development and
its commercial applications. The search for oil and gas has gone to ultra deep waters and many frontier areas
aided by state of art geotechnical interpretation software’s sophisticated drilling rigs and real time drilling control
covering extended drilling, engineering marvels as offshore production facilities and growing commitments to
HSSE practices. Such and other technology advancements have also huge potential of unconventional oil
and gas reserves contained in tight shale’s and other tight formations. Led primarily by USA, the commercial
exploitation of Coal Bed Methane, Shale Oil, Shale Gas, Tight Gas has emerged as potentially very large supply
energy resources over the last few decades. Recent assessments of unconventional hydrocarbon resources,
by EIA and other agencies, indicate that the potential of unconventional gas resources could not only exceed
the current conventional reserves, but they could also be better spared geographically.
While USA is an immensely successful story with exploitation of unconventional hydrocarbons, this is yet to
be replicated in other countries. Many countries are at early and different stages of assessment and evaluation
of the potential of their unconventional resources. Such resources, though material, pose unique challenges
for their exploitation. India too has been endowed with unconventional hydrocarbon resources. Initial estimates
put CBM resources at 93 tcf while Shale gas resources vary from 45 to 96 tcf.
While CBM projects started more than a decade back, the levels of commercial
production are low and big ramp up is also not visualised. The Shale Gas and Shale
Oil work is at very early stages with some pilot drilling underway for assessment.
ONGC has drilled few wells and further work has been planned due to reportedly
encouraging results.
India is confronted with growing energy demand and growing energy imports.
While energy demand with economic growth go hand in hand, it is imperative for
India to reduce its intensity of energy imports as this is becoming unsustainable and
exposes the domestic energy market to many unforeseen risks and uncertainties.
India therefore needs to go all out for its conventional, unconventional and
renewable energy resources to build a formidable domestic energy supply sector
and thus enhance security of energy supplies.
Coming back to US success story and big jump in production of unconventional
hydrocarbons, the following are the key factors a) policy and regulatory support
by Govt b) availability of gas pipeline infrastructure across the country and
connected to markets c) availability of ready gas markets d) presence of very
strong service sector to provide various services at competitive prices e) presence
of large number of companies in oil and gas sector and f) an active Govt- IndustryCommunity interface to address community issues around hydro fracturing, water
and air quality etc. Needless to say, all these would be required if US success
story has to be replicated in other countries. Hydro racing is central to exploitation
of unconventional resources and also at the centre of all subsurface and surface
issues facing shale oil and shale gas exploitation.
Review of critical success factors for USA also clearly establish that India
is far from ready to take economic benefit of its unconventional hydrocarbon
resources. However this should not act as a damper to India’s pursuit to efficiently
exploit its energy resources. Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has issued
policy guidelines on exploration and exploitation of shale gas and oil by national
oil companies under the ‘nomination regime’. Based on this, Oil and Natural Gas
Corporation (ONGC) would take up 175 blocks and Oil India Ltd (OIL) another 15
blocks, in three assessment phases. Policy for exploitation of unconventional oil and gas in blocks awarded
under NELP rounds is under development stage.
Govt of India, State Govt, oil and gas industry, service sector companies and other stakeholders have to
come together to develop a road map and assume respective responsibilities to make Unconventional Oil and
Gas happen in India. The economic and social benefits will far outweigh the aggregate efforts required by all
stakeholders. The Conference has been designed with above issues and objectives in consideration.
