Unconventional Shale Gas Prospects in Indian Sedimentary Basins

Annapurna Boruah

Abstract :

Natural gas is rapidly substituting fuel to suffice the growing energy requirement of today’s world. The rising oil prices, high input cost in exploration and production of hard oil resources and relative abundance of gas resources have fuelled the interest towards gas resources. As the consumption of natural gas is increasing rapidly, it is essential to identify and develop the available energy resources. India has the immense prospects of unconventional shale gas resources. Commercial exploration of these shale gas resources can effectively make the global natural gas curve more elastic. The commercial shale gas exploration requires exhaustive investigations of all the shale rock properties of hydrocarbon beå shale beds having significant organic matter and maturity. This paper presents overview of shale gas resources as well as the prospective shale gas horizons in Indian sedimentary basins
