The government is all set to conduct a test on petroleum gas found at Imadol on Friday. Although the potentiality of methane gas at Imadol has been in talks for a very long time, no steps had been taken for its exploration.
Industry Minister Nabindra Raj Joshi said that the exploration and extraction of the potential methane gas at Imadol will be tested on Friday. A team including Joshi is scheduled to head to the site at 2pm today.
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JAICA) in 1980 had presented a report stating possibility of petroleum gas at Imadol. However, no works for gas exploration were initiated.
