Investigating Sub-Basalt Plays through Integration of High-Resolution Geophysical Data

Jodie Gillespie, Howard Davies, Mark Cowgill

Abstract

The project objective is to improve and constrain the understanding of the geohistory, tectonic and stratigraphic evolution of the West Coast of India. Investigating the exploration potential and development of new play concepts is key to project. Acquisition of regional geophysical data and integration with the current geological understanding is a 3 Previous HitphaseNext Hit process with Previous HitPhaseNext Hit I and II acquired in 2009 and Previous HitPhaseNext Hit III in the planning stages. Previous HitSeismicNext Hit lines are regional and traverse from the shelf break to deepwater. Sub-basalt basins are evident on India deep focus Previous HitseismicNext Hit data. Reservoirs, seals and source rocks are likely to have been deposited in the developing graben and half-grabens. Basalts may acts as "duvet" blanketing the sub-basin. Source rocks may have reached maturity in many areas studies. Extensional, strike-slip and stratigraphic trapping mechanisms have been identified along with possible fluid escape structures on the Previous HitseismicTop data.
