RR Biradar, Registrar of the Central College of Karnataka (CUK), Kalaburagi | Picture Credit score: SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT
Prof. RR Biradar, Registrar of the Central College of Karnataka (CUK), introduced a analysis paper titled ‘Financial Advantages of Microfossils in Oil Exploration in India: A Case Examine of Oil and Pure Fuel Company’ on the Micropalaeontological Society Annual Assembly 2025, held on the College of Pisa, Italy, from November 5 to eight.
The convention, organized by the Division of Earth Science, College of Pisa, introduced collectively main scientists and researchers from the world over to debate advances in micropalaeontology.
Prof. Biradar’s research analyzed the appliance and financial advantages of microfossils in petroleum, coal and local weather research, together with nanoscience. It argued that microfossil evaluation as an exploration device can scale back the chance of drilling dry wells by as much as 40%, thereby reducing total oil exploration prices by almost one-fourth.
Analyzing the monetary efficiency of the Oil and Pure Fuel Company (ONGC), the research noticed that whereas the annual common expenditure per million metric ton (MMT) elevated significantly between 2001 and 2024, the entire amount of oil explored confirmed a gradual decline.
The analysis really helpful that exploration research specializing in figuring out areas wealthy in microfossil deposits be inspired to facilitate cost-effective oil discovery. It additionally recommended that non-public sector participation in oil exploration and manufacturing ought to be expanded to handle the rising power calls for.
Prof. Biradar additionally attended the nannofossil workshop organized as a part of the convention on November 5.
