Kathmandu, 5 November: The Covid-19 pandemic has slowed down the progress in petroleum exploration works in Shrishtan, Navisthan and other areas in Dailekh district.
After the completion of the first phase activities including seismic survey of 10 locations dug for the exploration of petroleum products, the second phase of the main drilling which was supposed to start from mid-October has been delayed due to the pandemic, according to the Department of Mines and Geology.
After the technical team from China completes the seismic survey, the existence of petroleum would be ascertained through exploration drilling.
