Agenda item No. expressed the seamount. XXXIV-5) The concern about chairman the observed that the completion of funding available work from CSIR under elements of the project is the project inadequateand given the advised against quantum of further work and exploration, cautioned that mentioning all the specifically the objectives Cauvery may not be MannarBasin. possible to The Chairman achieve. suggested modifying the objectives and deliverables of the project and asked CSIR-NIO to concentrate on research in the Krishna-Godavari and Mahanadi Basins, where adequate seismic and other geological data are now available (Minutes of the XXXVII RC Meeting 21-22 March 2014; Agenda item No. XXXVII-5).

one, and on the need for having hypotheses in order to design experiments to optimize the use of these vessels(XXXIV Research Council Meeting30-31 August 2012)

(iii) The Preparation of Unaltered directoragreed depth to the with the chairman Moho boundary that not much map of the Bay of progress was Bengal. Forward being made in modelling using GEOSCAPE.He available noted that the information along group was proposed publishing, but profiles. the papers were not aligned with the project objectives. Dr. Aninda Mazumder commented that this is the only gas hydrates group that works without samples. The chairman said that the problem raised was correct because NIOT was supposed to generate cores of length 100m, but are able to generate only 30-40 m cores. (Minutes of the XXXIX RC Meeting 15-16 April2015 Agenda item No. XXXIX-11).

(iv) RC concluded Acquisition of Unaltered that GEOSCAPE high resolution could carry out multibeam geophysical and bathymetry and other surveys for High Resolution gas hydrates in Sparker data in the southern part Cauvery basin of the Krishna-Godavari Basin instead of the Cauvery-Mannar Basin (Minutes of the XXXVIII RC Meeting 27-28 August 2014 Agenda Item XXXVIII-2).

The Task Force chairman (2nd TFM 2nd

' September, 2014) approved that the amounts Rs 130 lakhs for DSC for NGRI and Rs. 30 for Hydrophone array etc. could be requested.He advised to write to PPD about the acquisition of MCS. • Instead of

Cauvery-Mannar basin, The Geophysical data acquisition will be carried out in the Southern KG Basin.

• MMT studies need to be dropped.

collaboration, as collaboration not projected in the original proposal (Meeting in Delhi, 07, Nov, 2012)

Data acquisition in Cauvery-Mannar offshore basin was differed, as seismic vessel couldn't be hired due to reduced budget. The Research Council advised to focus on the southern part of KG Basin, instead of Cauvery-Mannar Basin. Accordingly it was proposed to acquire seismic data along few lines in the southern part of KG Basin. However, ship-time onboard GSI vessel RV Samudra Ratnakar was available as part of collaboration between NIO and GSI. One cruise of 30 days was organized in February-March 2015, to collect multi-parameter geophysical data. The Chairman advised to use the Cauvery-
