Mission Anveshan Oil and Gas Exploration Drive

under construction

Mission Anveshan is a multi-phase exploration drive launched by the Central government to identify potential crude oil and natural gas reserves across key regions of Andhra Pradesh. The first phase covers a coastal belt from Bhogapuram to Machilipatnam, with field operations underway in several mandals of Anakapalli district. The survey involves drilling up to 60 ft deep in agricultural lands to collect soil samples and using advanced 2D seismic survey techniques. Samples are analyzed in laboratories, and if viable reserves are found, land will be leased for extraction activities. The entire survey is expected to be completed within four years.
