40 percent of the drilling work has been completed under the exploration of petroleum products in Bhairavi Rural Municipality Jalajle area. The drilling work was started from last May which could be completed in 4 months.
The Chinese and Nepali teams have been working in 2 phases for 3 months. Exploration has been started after the investigation found that there is petroleum in this place, which has been burning for years.
It is estimated that drilling will be delayed by 1 month due to the hard rock underground. Suresh Shrestha, Senior Divisional Geologist of the Department of Mines and Geology, said that 1,666 meters of drilling had to be done up to a depth of 4,000 meters.
"At present, the experts are collecting data by testing the stones and soil from a depth of 2 meters. After 2700 meters of drilling, there will be 3 more studies of source rock, reserve wire rock and seal rock," he said. The necessary signals are being obtained under the 2 billion rupees subsidy of the Chinese government. Geologists have said that petroleum exploration will be successful It is expected that the economic situation of the country will improve and a large number of jobs will be created
