Major Oil and Gas Basins Of Afghanistan
There are two proven and three potential oil and gas bearing basins in Afghanistan
3
Two Proven Basins
• Afghan Tajik Basin, oil• Amu Darya Basin, gas There are 500 prospects
(favorable structures) in the north and northwest
Exploration was completed on sixty seven (67) structures
As a result, six (6) oil and eight (8) gas reservoirs have been discovered

Three Potential Basins
• Katawaz Basin, South• Helmand Basin, Southwest• Herat Basin, West
Exploration will resume in these basin as soon as the Ministry finishes restructuring
These basin are filled with very thick sedimentary complexes reaching up to several kilometers
Presence of source rocks and reservoir rocks is confirmed by geological mapping
5
Major Gas Reservoirs of N and NWAfghanistan
Khvajeh Gogerdak, Jar Quduq, Yatimtaq, Khvajeh Bulan, Juma, Bashe Khurd, Jungali Kalan, and Chughchi
The gas was estimated to be around 120 billion m3

USGS and Afghan Ministry of Mine Collaboration
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Afghanistan Ministry of Mines (MoM) cooperatively assessed Afghanistan’s undiscovered oil and gas reserves
The purpose of the assessment was to provide energy data required to implement the rebuilding and development of Afghanistan’s energy infrastructure.
9
Scope of the Assessment
• Collect scientific data and analyses for energy resource assessment and development
• Train native professionals to conduct future assessments independently
• Provide the Afghans with information needed to manage their own petroleum resources
• Provide basis for future investment in exploration and development
10
Results of the Estimates
Estimates have increased the oil resources by 18 times and more than tripled the natural gas resources
Undiscovered gas reserves are 444 billion m3
Undiscovered oil reserves are 219 MMT.
Undiscovered liquid gas condensate reserves range from 20 million m3 to 206.7 million m3

Hydrocarbon and Minerals Laws
• Mineral and Hydrocarbon Laws, passed in 2005
• These laws support private investment in bothsectors and call for establishment of:– Inter-ministerial Oversight
Committee (IMOC),– a Cadastre and Regulatory
body,– a market-based Inspectorate,– and, enhancement of research
capabilities and data acquisition of the AGS
12
Essence of Hydrocarbon and Minerals Laws
• MoM is the regulatory body for oversight of the sector
• IMOC will review and give final approval of all contracts
• MoM has the regulatory support from:– Cadastre– Inspectorate– Corporate Service Office
13
Present Status of Electric Power
• Installed power capacity: 470 MW (Hydro, Diesels and Other Thermal plants)
• Generation: 270 MW of Hydro-power plants • Diesel: 100 MW ( Kabul & the whole country) • Imported power: 100 MW• Afghanistan’s requirement up to 2015 is 1400 MW.• Available potential in Afghanistan:• Hydro:23000MW• Coal :514 - 525MW• N Gas :350 - 500MW• Oil : 125 - 300MW• For future we will import 900 MW• Construction of 105MW Gas Turbine Power Station in North.

Present Status of Coal
• A total of 67 deposits of coal has been discovered.• 400MMT of proven and more than 2 trillion tons of
coal ,having an energy of 4500 – 9000KK/Kg. has been anticipated.
• In this year 300,000 tons of coal is being produced by Government and Private sectors.
• During next 3 years will increase to 1.5MMT.• Resorting to electricity production from coal.
