Petroleum Geology Research and Favorable Area Optimization of South Asia

Abstract

Abstract: South Asia underwent three stages including Gondwana intercontinental rifting, Gondwana passive margin after continental breakup and collision between Indian plate and Eurasian plate and formed four types of basin that is peripheral foreland basin, passive continental margin basin, continental rift basin and cratonic basin. Petroliferous basins concentrate along the eastern and western margin of Indian continent with good petroleum geology. Oil and gas accumulates in the Paleogene, Neogene and Cretaceous. Scale and horizon of oil/gas reserves are determined by basin type and evolution. Horizontal hydrocarbon distribution is controlled by distribution of effective source rocks. Vertical hydrocarbon distribution is controlled by reservoir-cap rock assemblage. Based on comprehensive evaluation by indices such as basin type and scale, petroleum geology, resource quantity and exploratory degree, Bombay Basin, Indus Basin, Krishna-Godavari Basin, Bengal Basin, Assam Basin, Cambay Basin, Cauvery Basin, and Potwar Basin are optimized as favorable ones for hydrocarbon exploration in South Asia
