Here's what the first sentences you refer to say:
"In January last year, the US Energy Information Administration estimated that India held 38 trillion cubic feet of proven natural gas reserves.
That was good enough for the needs of the nation for 29 years, it was said."
Both of these are wrong.
First, EIA estimate was 63 TCF, not 38 TCF.
As to 29 years , that too makes no sense given the fact that India's current consumption is 1.9 TCF per year and rising.
yoo broo i know ur an american so ur naturally dumb but before posting can u plzz do some research. if india consumes 1.9 tcf a year not all of that is drilled from india because it might now be economically viable. a lot of it is imported. so the 29 yrs was right.
next it says new discoveries have been made
A M Dayal, an emeritus scientist with the National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) in Hyderabad, said his scientists have identified 28 sedimentary basins of shale gas (natural gas found trapped in shale formations under the ground), including ten potential producing basins,
out of all this only 50% is recoverable.
plz now this thread doenst need anymore discussion. kindly dont come back after this.
