Adani Welspun Exploration Ltd (AWEL), a JV between Adani Enterprises and
Welspun Group has started oil and gas exploration activities at its Mumbai
offshore block, MB-OSN-2005/2.
AWEL has awarded a contract for 3D seismic survey to
Western Geco, a Schlumberger Group Company. The technologically advanced 3D
seismic survey helps in narrowing down the prospectus for oil and gas in a given
geographical area. The survey is expected to commence by December 2009.
AWEL has already completed first round of 2D and 3D seismic data acquisition,
processing and interpretation in its Southern Cambay basin onshore block
(CB-ONN-2004/5) and is planning for exploratory drilling by next quarter,
early 2010.
