RESOURCE BASE
A. DGH Revised Estimates : 32 billion tonnes (235 B.bbl)
B. Earlier Hydrocarbon Resource : 28 billion tonnes (205 B.bbl)
50% could be converted to inplace proven reserves i.e. 14 billion tonnes
Resources already established : 7.2 billion tonnes (52 B.bbl)
Additional to be established : 6.8 billion tonnes (49 Bbbl)
C. The upgradation can be made in the next 15 20 years
D. Additional production from
6.8 billion tonnes (O+OEG)
Around 50 % oil & 50% gas
Oil rec. 30% & gas rec. 60%
Additional rec. reserves 3.06 billion tonnes
Prodn. Rate Oil 24 MMt
Gas 43 BCM
Thus, Total prodn. Could be : Oil 56 MMt/year
( D + E ) Gas 72 BCM/year
(i.e. a peak prodn. of 197 MMSCMD)
15% higher if DGH estimates are used
This can enable Oil & Gas production to increase more than 2 folds
E. Balance recoverable reserves : 1.4 billion tonnes (10 B.bbl)
Current Production - Oil : 32 MMt / year (234 M.bbl)
Gas : 29 BCM / year

Ramos gas field (see
AAPG Mem62, 1995), a big
duplex traps gas
underneath a detached
fault-propagation fold:
just as we infer in
Mizoram
East West
10 km
The fold trends of northernmost
Argentina, southern Boli via are
comparable in size and continuity, with
Assam-Arakans
The huge sub-Andean anticlines of northern Argentina and Boli via have a very similar structural style to the
Mizoram / Tripura folds. Wildcats in Boli via at Aguarague, San Antonio, Margarita have proved between 15-20 Tcf of
gas in the past 4 years. Here, in the blue-outlined boxes we compare the Ramos fields fold style with our
prospective play on the Rengte section. Around 4-5 km depth there is potential for very large fields in Mizoram.
