the first geothermal plant in India
South
Cambay Basin
Talboom
Geothermal, a Belgian company has undertaken a joint project with
ONGC Energy Centre (OEC), a research division of the biggest
Indian oil company ONGC, to produce geothermal energy in South
Cambay basin of Gujarat. Currently, investigations are going on in
order to find the best location for the first geothermal plant of
India.
Geophysica is ordered by
Talboom for giving support in geothermal reservoir
characterization, temperature and reservoir modeling. The area is
extensively investigated since decades for oil and gas. ONGC has
already drilled close to 4,000 wells in South Cambay basin varying
in depth from 3,000 to 4,000 meters. Temperatures
encountered in these depths are promising for geothermal usages. A
huge amount of oil and gas exploration data were made available
for the ongoing studies. Extensive geothermal exploration studies
are currently performed, integrating seismic and well data from
several drillings of the South Cambay basin.
