Abstract

In an unwavering pursuit of discovering new hydrocarbon reserves, Oil India Ltd (OIL), a Navratana category Government of India Enterprise, acquired, processed, and interpreted two-dimensional (2D) seismic data in OALP shallow offshore block situated along the Western coast of the Andaman Main Islands. OIL's return to offshore exploration in the Andaman-Nicobar Basin marks a significant milestone after a hiatus spanning several decades. Accompanied by Shearwater's cutting-edge research vessel, SW Vespucci, extensive and exceptionally rich and highquality 2D seismic data running in thousands of LKM was meticulously acquired, covering water depths ranging from 0 meters to an impressive 500 meters.
