Prof. R.R. Biradar, Registrar of the Central University of Karnataka (CUK), presented a probe insubstantial titled ‘Economic Benefits of Microfossils successful Oil Exploration successful India: A Case Study of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation’ astatine the Micropalaeontological Society Annual Meeting 2025, held astatine the University of Pisa, Italy, from November 5 to 8.
The conference, organised by the Department of Earth Science, University of Pisa, brought unneurotic starring scientists and researchers from crossed the satellite to sermon advances successful micropalaeontology.
Prof. Biradar’s survey analysed the exertion and economical benefits of microfossils successful petroleum, ember and clime studies, including nanoscience. It argued that microfossil investigation arsenic an exploration instrumentality tin trim the hazard of drilling adust wells by up to 40%, thereby cutting wide lipid exploration costs by astir one-fourth.
Examining the fiscal show of the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), the survey observed that portion the yearly mean expenditure per cardinal metric ton (MMT) accrued considerably betwixt 2001 and 2024, the full quantity of lipid explored showed a gradual decline.
The probe recommended that exploration studies focusing connected identifying regions affluent successful microfossil deposits beryllium encouraged to facilitate cost-effective lipid discovery. It besides suggested that backstage assemblage information successful lipid exploration and accumulation should beryllium expanded to code the increasing vigor demands.
Prof. Biradar besides attended the nannofossil store organised arsenic portion of the league connected November 5.
