WHAT DOES ONGC STANDS FOR ???
OIL AND NATURAL GAS CORPERATION
AIM OF THIS PROJECT :
TO ESTABLISH EMISSION FREE ELECTRICITY IN LADAKH
INDIA PLANS TO DRILL TWO GEOTHERMAL WELLS (DEPTH OF 1000 m , CAPACITY OF AT LEAST ONE MW)
In collaboration and consultants with iceland , ongc planning to drill the first well in the second or third week of june and next well by the end of september. and the contract has already awarded for the project.
REASONS FOR OPERATING THIS PROJECT IN BETWEEN JUNE AND SEPTEMBER:
1. decrease in temperature , causes road to be fully covered by ice, due to which heavy equipments are not able carry via road.
2. lower oxygen level ,hence aeroplanes can't carry heavy equipments .
In August 2022 ONGC tried to drill but leads to flow of uncontrolled water with high volume, but this time they have advanced equipments and machineries e.g blow-out preventor. location of this project is at the meeting point of two continental plates which is 150 m wide and 3000 km long , have hundreds of geothermal feilds. water with temperature 220 degree expected at puga. steam could be used to produce electricity which supply the needs of nearby tibetian pastoralist communities .
PROS :
1. zero carbon source.
2. renewable energy.
3.sustainable .
4. reliable.
5. naturally occuring , no fuel requirement.
