During the past decade, the feasibility of generating electricity from relatively low-temperature geothermal resources in sedimentary basins has been demonstrated in many countries.
Deep and hot aquifers in the sedimentary basin can be used as source of Geothermal Energy.
In western India, the Cambay basin is underlain by the Deccan trap and has geothermal gradient, with many known permeable formations at different depth levels, which can be utilized for harnessing Geothermal Energy. A Belgium based company M/s. Talboom is collaborating with OEC to set up a pilot power project in Cambay basin.
Extensive data available from the Cambay basin has been studied to identify the target area for the pilot.
The subsurface heat flow modeling in the identified area is under way.
The location for the first well will be finalized soon and the drilling of the well is planned this year.
