Short summary
Short summary
During May 16-18, 2014, the ICDP Workshop on Scientific Deep Drilling in the Koyna region of western India was held in Koyna to review the progress made in the preparatory phase and the preparation of a full drilling proposal. 49 participants came from Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, and USA. It was recommended to have two pilot and two main boreholes, hosting comprehensive sets of monitoring instruments to better comprehend reservoir-triggered earthquakes.

Short summary
Drilling fluid (DF) used in the drilling of crystalline continental crust is considered a potent contaminant for subsurface rock samples, though it could provide a glimpse into the nature of deep subsurface life. Microbial communities of DF retrieved from Koyna pilot borehole (3000 m) in the Deccan Traps was explored through 16S rRNA and other diagnostic marker genes. Detection of extremophilic and other deep biosphere relevant microorganisms in DF redefined the role of DF in deep life research.
