Respected Reviewers / CTSA members

Thanks for the kind review and fast turnaround. Here are the answers to the
questions raised by Reviewers.

Authors would like to make two (2) points here.

1. The requirement of the conference is only a 500 word abstract. There

would never be a requirement of an extended abstract. The guidelines
say that “India Energy Week does not require authors to submit their
technical papers, as we do not publish these”.

If the abstract is accepted, authors would be asked to prepare a slide

pack.
This is also mentioned in the “”guidelines for abstract””, pasted below.

2. The Data utilised is from the DGH project. It is outside the OIL business
areas. The permission from DGH has already been secured even before
the abstract was sent to CTSA for review.
 Reviewer-1
The paper being written is not
convincing, though, the topic is very
relevant but some more convincing
examples or findings surrounding the
Basin or any analogy may be included.
Moreover, the data belongs to DGH as
of now, in such case, OIL may be
allowed I write a paper or not is to be
examined.
Moreover, the author has claimed
that several gas related signatures are
observed in newly acquired seismic
data, however, no seismic sections /
maps/any other figures in support of
that are enclosed.
The whole paper is not going to be
submitted. Only the one page (500
words) abstract is going to be
submitted.
The examples talks about Irawady
Delta and the recent discovery by
harbour energy, The Main body talks
about Zawtika, Yadana, Yetagun Gas
fields (With figure in Page 7 (Just
before Summary).
Also Supergiant Arun field is also
discussed with its size and other
parameters.
That’s pretty much available in and
around Andaman study area from
very recent discovery by Harbour
Energy to past.
The authors have already secured the
permission from DGH to publish this
Abstract before submitting the
manuscript to CTSA. In the past, one
of the authors has published two (2)
papers with AEG, Mumbai. The data
for both the papers were data
acquired by OIL for DGH under
National Seismic Programme in NC
Hills and Mizoram.
The author has supported this by one
seismic section pasted in the
manuscript. Normally, Abstracts are
devoid of any images and hence the
authors restrained themselves of
putting any seismic in abstract.
 In the below table, Authors have got three (3) columns. Third Last Column is
submitted is originally submitted by Authors for CTSA, Second Last column is
Views of Reviewer -2 and Last column is the Comments from authors on the
Reviewer-2 observations.
