exploring North bank and Brahmaputra river bed was
muted by OIL way back in1993. I do not think the plan was to put a rig in the
middle of the river. any on ein the net from OIL could shed more light

Brahmaputra riverbed
With modern techniques like directional drilling, there is no need to put
drilling rigs on the riverbed. Would you like to see drilling rigs in the
middle of the river? Think about the possible contamination of river water,
not only for a catastrophic leak but just day to day operation?
That is what is wrong with it.
Whats wrong with that?
OIL to explore Brahmaputra riverbed
DULIAJAN, May 2 One of the
countrys premier oil PSUs, Oil India Limited with its operational
headquarter based at Duliajan will start exploration of hydrocarbon on the
river bed of the mighty Brahmaputra on the north bank with the onset of
winter. Announcing this, the newly appointed chairman-cum-managing
director (CMD) of the company, Mulk Raj Pasrija interacting with local
mediapersons for the first time on Saturday last, after taking over as CMD
of the company on March 14, said: With the discoveries of good reserves
of hydro-carbon at Khagorijan, Baghjan and Chandmari oilfields, the
company is very much hopeful of discovering enormous reserve of
hydrocarbon in the riverbed of the mighty Brahmaputra and the north bank
of the river and will start exploration with the onset of the winter,
Pasrija said.
According to the new CMD, the companys top priority
will be on exploring new fields and that the company will spent 85 per
cent of the Rs 1800 crore which the company got from the Oil pool in the
North-east particularly in Asom and fund will not be a constraint for the
growth of the company by next year. He also informed that the company has
formulated some short and long-term achievement targets and the company
has achieved the target of producing 3.65 MT (oil) and 2.5 MT (gas) in
short term basis in 2006. Pasrija particularly stressed on making
aggressive effort to achieve the target of 7 MT (of oil) by the end of
this decade and hoped to produce even more provided there was a conducive
and congenial atmosphere prevailing in the operational areas.
He
also appealed to various organisations for extending cooperation enabling
the company to grow which will directly benefit the people of the
operational areas, the state and the nation as a whole.
Answering a
question at the end of the interaction session in regard to All Assam
Students Union (AASU) opposing his appointment as the new CMD of the
company which has been advocating for appointment of an indigenious
technocrat to the top post and its conspicuous silence later, the new CMD
very tactfully answered that he honours the sentiments and hopes good
sense prevails, adding that he has been working for the company with
dedication for the last two decades after joining the company in 1981, and
assured to focus more on the interest and welfare of the people of the
state in particular.
