Taking A Deep Dive

- ARUNIMA BHARADWAJ

CAIRN OIL AND Gas, a private oil and gas exploration and production company and part of Vedanta, has partnered with Norway-based Electromagnetic Geoservices (EMGS) to deploy advanced 3D Controlled Source Electromagnetic (CSEM) survey technology for exploration activities in its Krishna Godavari (KG) deepwater block off India's east coast.

The survey is expected to characterise and prioritise the extensive offshore exploration prospect portfolio within the block by integrating the gathered CSEM data with recently re-processed 3D seismic data to enhance subsurface model accuracy and reduce exploration risks.
