â–¡ MUMBAI HIGH
• The greatest success achieved by the ONGC with respect to offshore surveys for oil was that of Mumbai high in 1974.
• It is located on the continental shelf off the coast of MH about 176km north-west of Mumbai.
• Oil is taken from a depth of over 1,400m with the help of a specially designed platform known as Sagar Samrat.
â–¡ BASSEIN
• Located to the south of Mumbai high, this is a recent discovery endowed with reserves which may prove to higher than those of Mumbai high.
â–¡ ALIABET
• Located at Aliabet island in the Gulf of khambat about 45km of Bhavnagar.

â– GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
#Energysources
â—‡ There are vast possibilities of developing and exploiting geothermal energy in india. About 340 hot spring localities have been identified, many of them have temperature nearing boiling point.
â—‡ Assessment of geothermal energy potential of selected sites in Jammu and Kashmir, HP, UK,kharkhand and chhattisgarh has been undertaken.
â—‡ A five KW geothermal pilot power plants has been commissioned at Manikaran in Kullu district of HP. A potential of 4-5 mW geo-thermal power has been estimated in Puga valley of Ladakh in J and K.
â—‡ Plan to exploit this potential has been finalised. Sanction for installation of a geothermal power plant at Tattapani geothermal fields in Chhattisgarh has been granted .
