Responding to the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ initiative, the IITs and the ONGC have agreed to work towards a collective R&D Programme for Developing Indigenous Technologies to enhance Exploration and Exploitation of Hydrocarbons and Alternate Sources of Energy. This is a long-term initiative for sustained research, development and capacity building aimed at a multi-pronged approach that will help foster research capability and transform experiential based learning in this core sector. The Programme will be funded by ONGC and shall take advantage of the available infrastructure and manpower of the IITs and ONGC. The Programme has identified seven initial thematic areas namely (i) Geological & Geophysical studies (ii) Reservoir characterization, modeling & simulation (iii) Oil & gas Production & Recovery Enhancement (iv) Software Development (v) Unconventional Energy Resources (vi) Engineering solutions/tools & technology development (vii) Alternate Energy researches.
