come from offshore non-associated gas fields in the Krishna-Godavari basin,<br />

which make up about half of the fields discovered since 2002. The biggest<br />

fields are in the prolific KG-D6 and KG-DWN blocks. These discoveries,<br />

which resulted directly from the NELP, have fundamentally changed the<br />

prospects for gas supply in India.<br />

India has estimated coal-bed methane (CBM) resources of over 1 400 billion<br />

cubic metres (Planning Commission, 2006) and underground coal gasification<br />

(UCG) could facilitate exploitation of the substantial deep coal resources<br />

that are currently uneconomic to mine, including those lying deeper than<br />

1 200 metres. Some commercial production of CBM is under way.<br />

Production<br />

In the Reference Scenario, India's natural gas production is projected to reach<br />

45 bcm in 2015 and 51 bcm in 2030 (Table 17.5). Production from the<br />

mature fields selected in our analysis is projected to decrease from 24.78 bcm<br />

in 2006 to 3.53 bcm in 2030. Indian domestic gas production has the potential<br />

to reach more than 50 bcm in 2020, thanks to the major discoveries over the<br />
