To keep abreast with the latest technological developments, a technology induction initiative “TECHNOTHON” was institutionalized by OIL. Induction of AGG & GM Survey is an outcome of the inaugural session, Technothon-1 held in December 2017. AGG survey measures the spatial rate of change of gravitational acceleration. 
 
The sensors in the survey-aircraft measure five (5) independent components of the gravity field and provides a high-resolution image of various constituents of density contrast. Magnetics is a measure of the variation in the intensity of the earth’s magnetic field caused by sub-surface geology. 
 
The technique is efficient and a non-invasive exploration tool with quick turnaround time enabling coverage of wide-area in the shortest possible time and provides value addition to the overall appraisal of the area.
