Abstract:
Significant oil and gas shows and discoveries in the Gulf of Thailand in mid-1973 have encouraged the six petroleum concessionaires to drill 15 additional wildcat wells in 1973-1974. Detailed geophysical surveys and results of seven wildcat wells have revealed that the Gulf of Thailand is underlain by Quaternary and Tertiary formations about 2,000-12,000 ft thick. Palynology dating indicates that the basal Tertiary formation is as old as Oligocene, but from place to place the acoustic basements vary from granitic basement to metasedimentary rocks of Mesozoic and/or late Paleozoic age.
