OVERVIEW

The Basin Analysis session aims to deepen the technical understanding of India’s sedimentary basins and strengthen national exploration strategies by drawing key learnings from global analogue basins. By integrating international insights with local geological contexts, this session seeks to advance scientific knowledge and unlock the hydrocarbon potential of Indian basins.

Building on the success of its inaugural edition held in Mumbai, this session will convene geoscientists, exploration professionals, and policymakers to deliberate on basin evolution, subsurface data integration and the exploration potential of India’s sedimentary basins.

Attendees Insights:

  • Exchange of technical insights on basin evolution and resource potential.
  • Strengthen data-driven exploration and resource management practices.
