We want to recreate in shale what we did for CBM (Coal Bed Methane) , said CEO Prashant Modi.
The company had announced an investment of $2 billion over the next 10 years in shale gas extraction project.
GEECL was awarded block MG-CBM-2008/IV for extraction of gas lying below coal seams, called CBM, under the fourth round of CBM block auction in 2010. The production sharing contract (PSC) for the block was signed on July 29, 2010.
