how much time it takes to drill the well?
as by now the company must have done the 3d sesmic test(new technology) on the fields by spending 40-50 crores for sweet spots for drilling the wells.

About 45% of 3D seismic data acquisition was completed for Selan Exploration Technology Limited in Gujarat as on 31.3.2010

So by now it must be nearing its completion for 3d seismic survey.

Hey, did you find the Selan data in Alphageo's AR?
 
Is Alphageo the vendor who is doing it for Selan?
I thought Alphageo is a land based exploration company?

I have some questions:

1. How oil fields are acquired in India. Kindly explain the process. How Selan got all those 5 oil-fields?

2. I suppose that those oil-fields held by Selan were earlier owned by ONGC. Why were these transferred to Selan, if the fields were ripe?

3. What's the probability of 3D studies turning correct? Are there any upward or downward surprises, after digging the fields?

4. Are there limits on the number of oil-fields to be dug in a particular oil-field?

5. How much time does the drilling of an oil-field takes place, post these 3D seismic studies?

It's ONGC after all.....a highly inefficient monopoly...thanks to NELP we still have a chance of saving some precious foreign exchange.....Turns out...they've been using extremely outdated technology for a long time.....though they seem to be more active now a days
 
This story is the same a the CWG saga..except that these companies produce so much cash no one questions them.....

Not aware of any restriction in one's allocated acreage though i'll be surprised if various permissions are not required first.

A lot depends upon the area......enviromental concerns etc could also crop up...typically some more drilling happens on the ground to confirm the studies before actually production quality drilling can beging...atleast that is what i think i figured out from various annual reports
 
Some experts do pitch in more with these queries.

Its more than one year the management has not come out and updated about their latest development for 3d mapping of the fields and enhancing production output plans...

Hope they come out soon on result day and update us with good news...
