Incubation Centre, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. He also holds the position
of an Independent Director, Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation
Limited. He served earlier as Dy. Director (Sct. G) at the National
Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad for more than three
decades. He is a leading scientist, well recognized for his
excellence in deep EM Technique- Magnetotellurics among the
national and international scientists.
Prof. T. Harinarayana holds two doctoral degrees in the field of
Electromagnetics-one from Edinburgh University, UK & the other
from Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad. His academic and research
excellence created opportunities for him to serve as a visiting
professor and scientist at the University of Tokyo, Japan and the
University of Texas at Austin, USA respectively. He has also
organized and chaired a large number of conference / seminars and
technical sessions.
Dr. T. Harinarayana is a member of the Russian Academy of
Natural Sciences, Moscow. He has received the National Mineral
Award-1991, the Andhra Pradesh Scientist Award-2008. While serving
as Scientist and Head of the magnetotelluric Division, NGRI,
Hyderabad he became a fellow and a member of national (IGU, AEG,

GEOTHERMAL AREAS
1. PUGA GEOTHERMAL REGION, JAMMU AND KASHMIR
The Puga area in eastern Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, is known to
be the most promising geothermal field in India, as pointed out by
geo-scientific studies in the area. However, lack of deep
subsurface information put constraints to the geothermal resource
evaluation in Puga. The recent magnetotelluric study in Puga
revealed anomalous conductive (~5 Ohm.m) structure at a depth of 2
km in the area of geothermal manifestation. Analysis of temperature
logs indicated a high temperature (~260C) associated with the
anomalous conductive structure and signifies potential geothermal
resource in the area. We discuss the results in the context of
geothermal resource utilization for power generation in the
area.
2. TATAPANI HOT SPRING ZONE, SURGUJA DISTRICT, MADHYA
PRADESH
Identification of hot geothermal reservoir at great depths (1-5
Km.) is an important task in decision making to establish and use
the heat source for power generation etc. as sustainable source for
a long time is a necessary requirement. Telluric and
magnetotelluric studies were carried out in and around Tatapani hot
spring zone. From these studies, the presence of a deep crustal
conductor related to geothermal reservoir system at a depth of
about 2 km extending in E-W direction is detected. (Ref: NGRI
Report No: NGRI-2000-EXP-282)
3. KONKAN GEOTHERMAL PROVINCE, MAHARASHTRA
As in the case of previous study, the northern part of the
Konkan geothermal province was investigated jointly by using both
telluric and magnetotelluric techniques and identified a deep
reservoir (2-3 km) below the volcanic rocks. It is interpreted that
meteoric water from the western ghats percolated through deep
fractures through normal gravitational force and has emerged as hot
springs due to differences in hydrostatic pressures. (Ref:
Harinarayana, Ph.D Thesis, 1988, Harinarayana and Sarma, 1999)
HYDROCARBON EXPLORATION STUDIES
1. KUTCH REGION, GUJARAT
Encouraged by the delineation of the Mesozoic sediments in the
northwestern quadrant of the Saurashtra peninsular region, ONGC
Ltd. supported a major project for the delineation of sediments and
mapping of the basement structure for oil exploration. Five
magnetotelluric traverses across the Kutch region with 50
-
magnetotelluric sites have not only delineated yet another
location, but also indicated sharp variation in the basement. It is
observed from 1D and 2-D modeling of MT studies and also from
gravity and Deep resistivity soundings, that the region west of
Mundra village seems to possess large thickness of sediments.
Interestingly, this region falls in the vicinity of the
northwestern quadrant of Saurashtra region near Jamnagar (Ref: NGRI
Report No: NGRI-2000-EXP-296).
2. SAURASHTRA REGION, GUJARAT
Large part of this region is covered by volcanic rock and acts
as a mask on the subsurface structures and makes it difficult for
conventional geophysical techniques. Magnetotelluric studies using
state-of-the art equipment covering most of the Saurashtra region
with 690 stations showed the presence of thick (3-4 km) sediments
below the volcanic rock towards north-western part of Saurashtra
peninsula around Jamnagar . The presence of thick sediments towards
the north western part of Saurashtra peninsula, which was FIRST
indicated by MAGNETOTELLURICS and also decrease in resistivity of
the sediments indicating the association of the marine environment
of the sediments have opened up this region potential for oil
exploration. This work was carried out as a sponsored project by
ONGC Ltd. and is of classified in nature as the results are
directly related to the oil potential of our country. (Ref: NGRI
Report No: NGRI-98-EXP-237).
3. NAGPUR-WARDHA REGION, MAHARASHTRA
As in the case of Saurashtra, this region also covered by
volcanic rocks and became a difficult terrain for conventional
geophysical techniques. Magnetotelluric field studies using
state-of-the art equipment near Nagpur-Wardha region with 138
stations along radial profiles and the strategic modeling have
shown very thick sediments, of the order of 3 to 4 km. Apart from
the estimations of the thickness of sediments, several structural
features, basement undulations and also gave a new evidence for the
possible extension of PRANHITA-GODAVARI Graben underneath the
Deccan trap cover. This new evidence paved a way to the oil
industry for exploration for coal and coal bed methane in Katol and
it's surrounding regions. (Ref: NGRI Report No.
NGRI-98-Expl.222)
EARTHQUAKE / DEEP CRUSTAL STUDIES
1. LATUR EARTHQUATE REGION, MAHARASHTRA :
Latur Earthquake has occurred in aseismic region and it is
important to know the deep crustal signature of the region. MT
results in this region has brought out anomalous conductivity
anomaly at a depth of about 7-10 km and indicated the presence of
FLUIDS. Seismic and gravity data also supported for the presence of
fluids that might have triggered the Latur earthquake. The new
evidence from this study paved a way for possible identification of
such zones in other seismic regions of the world as indicated
recently from Kobe seismic epicentral zone (Ref: H.K.Gupta et al ,
Geophysical Research Letters, 23, No.13, 1569 1572,1996).
2. NARMADA-SON LINEAMENT ZONE ( JABALPUR EARTHQUAKE), MADHYA
PRADESH.
Unlike above, this area is seismically active and has a series
of E-W trending faults. However, it is important to know and
distinguish between active and relatively passive faults.
Magnetotelluric studies across the NSL zone cross both the Narmada
South and North faults. Modeling results of MT data have clearly
brought out the ACTIVE nature of the NSL SOUTH FAULT as compared to
NORTH fault with a distinct conductivity contrast. This study thus
gave evidence and a new way that it is possible to identify the
active and relatively passive faults, which in turn helps to
identify the hazardous zones as active faults that are associated
with seismic activity. These results are presented in two
international workshops (Ref: Harinarayana et al, Chapman conf.,
NGRI, and EM workshop, Romania, 1998).
3. BHUJ and CHAMOLI EARTHQUAKE REGIONS
MT studies were taken up during May-June 1999 in Chamoli
epicentral region, Garwal Himalayas and during March 2001 in Kutch
region. The studies were carried out by establishing 23 stations in
Chamoli region and 36 (21+15) stations in Bhuj region. The stations
occupied are oriented mainly along three different profiles in each
region. Three profiles in Chamoli region are northeast-southwest
(NE-SW) oriented profile from Gaucher towards southwest to
Joshimath towards northeast direction, two east-west oriented
profiles from Nijmula towards east and Mandal towards west and
Chamtoli towards east and Appala towards west. The profiles
occupied in Bhuj region
-
are a northeast-southwest profile from Mundra towards southwest
to Rapar towards northeast, from Mundra towards south and Kavda
towards north and from Kodki towards west and Manaba towards east.
The data have been processed using robust processing techniques and
modeling exercises have been carried out using 1D and 2D modeling
schemes to derive the subsurface geoelectric structure. (Ref:
Gupta, H.K, Harinarayana, T and others, 2001, Geo. Soc. Of India ,
57, 3,275-278.; Begum S.K., Ph.D Thesis, O.U. 2002; .)
