India's deepwater Krishna-Godavari basin is emerging as one the world's hottest oil and gas exploration areas. The basin's huge potential is demonstrated by Reliance Industries' 19 discoveries since 2000. The Indian government's New Exploration Licence Policy (NELP) has liberalised India's upstream industry, and is successfully attracting foreign and private investment. NELP Round VII, launched in December 2007, has three shallow water and three deepwater blocks on off er in the Krishna-Godavari basin.  EMGS has recently acquired an electromagnetic (EM) scanning survey of one of the deepwater blocks, KG-DWN-2005/3, and data from this survey are now available.
