- 2EIA for five Oil Block in Georgia
Jindal Petroleum has acquired seven oil and gas blocks globally, including five in Georgia, one in Bolivia, and one in India. In Georgia, Jindal Petroleum secured four exploration blocks (VIIA, IX, X, XIII A), holding a 100% participating interest in Block VIIA and an 85% interest in the others. Additionally, Jindal Petroleum acquired a producing block, XIB, in Georgia. These five blocks in Georgia have estimated recoverable reserves of 234 million barrels (MMBBL) of crude oil and 840 billion cubic feet (BCF) of gas. Jindal Petroleum operates all five blocks and currently produces 550 barrels per day (bbl/day) of oil.
We were engaged to conduct independent monitoring, which involved collecting primary data through field investigations and environmental monitoring, as well as analyzing secondary data. Our assessment evaluated the current status of land, air, noise, water, biological, and socio-economic components at the project site. We identified potential environmental impacts from planned drilling and testing activities, predicting significant qualitative and quantitative effects on key environmental components. Based on these findings, we prepared an Environmental Impact Statement and developed an Environmental Management Action Plan (EMAP) with strategies to mitigate adverse effects. Additionally, we conducted risk assessments, developed emergency response plans, and formulated a Waste Management Plan.

- 1Supervision for Stretch 1 of the Ayeyarwady River (Mandalay to Nyaung U; 200 km stretch), Myanmar .
The Ayeyarwady Integrated River Basin Management Project (AIRBMP), a US$100 million initiative funded by the World Bank, was implemented by the Directorate of Water Resources and Improvement of River Systems (DWIR) under the Ministry of Transport and Communication (MOTC) via the AIRBMP Project Management Unit (PMU). Designed as a multi-phased project, it aimed to strengthen integrated, climate-resilient management and development of the Ayeyarwady River Basin and national water resources. The first phase focused on building institutions and tools for Integrated River Basin Management, enhancing navigation, hydro-meteorological warnings, and advisory services for better livelihoods. Effective from June 2015, it closed in September 2020. The DWIR proposed physical improvements and river enhancement works along a 200 km stretch from Mandalay to Nyaung U (Stretch 1). Our team was engaged by DWIR to conduct Environmental and Social (E&S) analysis of design options, evaluate navigation enhancement alternatives, provide inputs for selecting preferred designs, and prepare the ESIA and ARAP reports.
- 2Flood Mitigation and Resilience Project in Ibadan City, Oyo State, Nigeria .
The Federal Government of Nigeria, on behalf of the Oyo State Government, secured USD 200 million from the World Bank for the Ibadan Urban Flood Management Project (IUFMP). Initiated in December 2014, the IUFMP aims to enhance Oyo State’s capacity to manage flood risks in Ibadan by developing a long-term flood risk management framework. This framework includes risk assessments, community awareness programs, and flexible project designs that allow adaptations based on lessons learned. The project also supports capacity building for flood risk management in Ibadan, strengthens the Oyo State Government’s early warning and response systems, and leverages existing World Bank projects, such as the Community and Social Development Project (CSDP), to support the IUFMP’s objectives.
Our team was engaged by the IUFMP for the Flood Mitigation and Resilience Project in Ibadan City. We developed methodologies to address flood hazard impacts, created a comprehensive framework, and established baseline data through flood site investigation surveys and household surveys covering approximately 6,000 samples across the city. We also developed a geospatial database to support the project. The study’s outcomes provided critical information for selecting investment priorities by identifying vulnerable sites and households. Additionally, it established a benchmark for evaluating Oyo State’s capacity to manage flood risks throughout the project’s lifecycle. The framework enables the client to track progress, assess the project’s impact on vulnerability at completion, and facilitate learning for future flood risk management initiatives.
- 1Supervision for Stretch 1 of the Ayeyarwady River (Mandalay to Nyaung U; 200 km stretch), Myanmar (World Bank-funded Project).The Ayeyarwady Integrated River Basin Management Project (AIRBMP) was a US$100 million Project supported by the World Bank (WB) and implemented by the Directorate of Water Resources and Improvement of River Systems (DWIR) under the Ministry of Transport and Communication (MOTC) through the AIRBMP – Project Management Unit (PMU). The AIRBMP designed the Project with a multi-phased approach (series of Projects) to strengthen the integrated, climate-resilient management and development of the Ayeyarwady River Basin as well as the other national water resources. The first Project aimed at developing the institutions and tools needed to implement the Integrated River Basin Management and deliver the related livelihood benefits from enhanced navigation and hydro-meteorological warning, as well as other advisory services. The AIRBMP was declared effective in June 2015 and had a closing date of September 2020. Under this assignment, the DWIR proposed to undertake Physical Improvements and River Enhancement works in a 200 km long stretch from Mandalay to Nyaung U (Stretch 1). Our team was engaged by the DWIR to perform the Environmental and Social (E&S) analysis of the design options; analysis of the navigation enhancement alternatives; provide inputs in the selection of the preferred design options and preparation of the ESIA and ARAP reports.
- 2Flood Mitigation and Resilience Project in Ibadan City, Oyo State, Nigeria (World Bank-funded Project).
The Federal Government of Nigeria on behalf of the Oyo State Government had applied for funding from the World Bank (WB) towards the cost of 200 million USD for the Ibadan Urban Flood Management Project (IUFMP). The IUFMP was initiated in December 2014 to improve the capacity of the Oyo State by developing a long-term flood risk management framework through risk assessment, community awareness and providing enough flexibility in the Project design to make changes based on learning. The Project also supported Capacity-building for flood risk management in the city of Ibadan. It helped to reinforce the Oyo State Government’s early warning and response capabilities and leverages existing in the World Bank’s projects (such as the Community and Social Development Project, CSDP) in the Oyo State in support of the IUFMP.
We were engaged by the IUFMP for the Flood Mitigation and Resilience Project in Ibadan City. We have developed several methodologies to address the flood hazard impacts; developed a resultant framework and produced a baseline data through flood site investigation surveys and household surveys covering about 6000 samples in the city area and developed the geospatial database. The outcome of the study provided information about the selection of investments by identifying the vulnerable sites and households and also served as a benchmark for evaluating how the Project could improve the capacity of the Oyo State to effectively manage the flood risks in the Ibadan City throughout the lifecycle of the Project. It also enabled the Client to track progress over time and the ability to compare the vulnerability status at the IUFMP completion to evaluate any impacts of future events and facilitate the learning process.
