Petroleum Secretary Shri M.S. Srinivasan explained the tremendous potential gas hydrates as fuel source. He said that gas hydrates potential, if exploited fully, could make available much more fuels than the presently known conventional fuels.
Shri Deora also released the results of the first advanced gas hydrate exploration program conducted in the offshore of India through the Indian National Gas Hydrate Program(NGHP) Expedition 01. This is the most comprehensive gas hydrate field venture to date.
Scientists conducted ocean drilling, coring, logging, and analytical activities to assess the geologic occurrence, regional context, and characteristics of gas hydrate deposits along India's oceans.
An international team led by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (under the Government of India's Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas) conducted the expedition.
Eminent geoscientists, technologists and professionals are attending the Conference on Gas Hydrates organized by DGH from upstream oil industry from India & abroad.
