Abstract:
The Bombay offshore region, on the western continental shelf of India, has reservoir facies generally confined to the carbonate sections developed at different stratigraphic levels of the Cenozoic succession.
Sedimentologic analysis of cores and cuttings, aided by regional, almost time-parallel, seismic markers, has revealed the presence of bioclastic mudstone and/or wackestone facies, pelletoidal mudstone and/or wackestone facies, and bioclastic grainstone facies in Bombay High, Bassein, and the shelf-edge areas, respectively.
A depositional model, both in time and space, which was developed from facies analysis, has prediction capabilities.
An east-west lithofacies cross section illustrates the vertical distribution of reservoir facies and broadly represents a shelf-lagoon to shelf-margin depositional setting. Basin configuration, water energy, and periodic fluctuations in sea level are the dominant factors that controlled the development of reservoir facies.
