 Introduction
 
The Institute of Biotechnology & Geotectonics Studies (INBIGS) was founded in 1989 at Jorhat, Assam in the green surroundings of North-East part of India. Assam was the pioneer in crude oil production and has a number of oil fields. The North-East region was selected to locate INBIGS in view of its rich flora & fauna and marked tectonic movements.
 


Biotechnology being an emerging branch of science is going to be the buzz word of 21st century. In Petroleum sector, it plays a vital role in geo-microbial prospecting, enhancing oil recovery from reservoir and environment protection by bioremediation of oily waste. INBIGS is engaged in the innovative research of petroleum biotechnology through a talented and dedicated team of bio-scientists.

The prime objectives of INBIGS are:

To take up innovative research in two emerging frontier areas of Petroleum Biotechnology &
    Geotectonics through talented, dedicated and highly motivated team of bioscientists.

To provide support to industries involved in hydrocabrbon exploration, exploitation and other
    related activities.
