Oil India Limited (OIL) will be working with the Centre for Earth Sciences and Himalayan Studies (CESHS) to carry out research studies on the abundant deep and shallow oil wells in the Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in India to evaluate the region’s geothermal resource potential. Additionally, OIL and the CSIR-National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) will conduct an MT survey at potential geothermal sites in Arunachal Pradesh and will help in mobilizing a rig for drilling operations.
These plans were decided during a meeting held in Hyderabad by the policy think tank NITI Aayog that aims to establish a “Consortium of Geothermal Energy” to develop 10 MW of geothermal energy in India by 2030.
