Figure-2)

Figure-2: The location of the Block KG-ONN-2004/1 in KG basin

with the available communication network.
5.0 In general, the entire block KG-ONN-2004/1 is thickly populated
with villages and towns. About 20% of the area is covered by the river
Godavari and about 30% of the area hosts coastal swamps & forests.
Out of the 511 SqKm in East Godavari district of AP, 176.34 Sqkm
covers parts of the Reserve forest area in the region. The 38 SqKm in the
district of Yanam, Puducherry (UT) is thickly populated township. The
entire Block has alluvial covers and a considerable portion of the nonforest part of the Block is covered with paddy fields, Mangroves, coconut
grooves, cash crops and fish / prawn ponds etc. The surface logistics
(due to major rivers, wildlife sanctuary, Reserve Forest etc.) in the Block
is shown in Figure-3.

LOGISTICS OF THE BLOCK KG-ONN-2004/1:

6.0 The Block, at the coastal part of the KG basin, shares the major
geomorphologic units of the KG basin like (i) Upland plains, (ii) Coastal
plains and (iii) Recent flood and delta plains. The western upland plains
present a topographic relief varying between 20 m and 200 m. The
general gradient of the basin is towards east and southeast. The eastern

coastal plain with a maximum width of 50 km includes landforms mainly

of marine origin. The marine sediments rest in general on scoured
surfaces and form bars, barrier islands and tidal flats further seaward.
Linear ridges of sand bars are present parallel to the shoreline. The rivers
are braided in the upper flood plain and meandering in the lower flood
plain. The Godavari delta, where the Block lies, is lobate and partially
effected by wave action. The Godavari river branches into three main
distributaries in the lower delta plain and the sands are distributed by
wave action into sand bars, parallel to the coast. The shifting of the river
course during the growth of the delta is indicated by the presence of
abandoned channels. The shelf is narrow near the river mouths and
widens in the bay areas.

7.0 As discussed above, the entire Block KG-ONN-2004/1 (549 Sqkm)

is fraught with innumerable surface challenges due to extreme difficult
logistics. Nearly 30% of the Block is wildlife sanctuary (121 Sqkm) &
inaccessible Reserve Forest (55 Sqkm), about 20-30% of the area is
drained by river Godavari & its tributaries. The Block also encumbers
coastal transition zones with palm groves, inaccessible coastal forests,
thorny bushes, a large number of tidal creeks, salt zones etc. The coastal
zones are mostly unapproachable through land. The sketch showing the
quantitative (approx.) demarcation of various topographical features in
the Block KG-ONN-2004/1 is given in Figure-4. A part of the Block is
also occupied by major industries like that of RILs near Gadimoga & a
number of private salt zones etc.

various topographical features in the Block KG-ONN-2004/1

Drilling Commitment:
8.0 As per committed Minimum Work Program (MWP) along with other
activities, the consortium needs to drill 12 (twelve) exploratory wells
within February 2012. Out of the 12-wells, 2-Wells will be of 2000 m, 2wells will be of 4000 m, 1-well will be of 4500 m and the remaining 7wells will be of 5000 m depth. OIL is planning to drill the first few wells
in the south-eastern part of the Block.
