Abstract

Exploration in Kerala basin deep water blocks has established deepwater depositional system in the area with the identification of Paleocene/Early Eocene shelf-slope system. Eustatic oscillations during Paleocene/Early Eocene period have brought in quality reservoir high impedance radioactive sands into the area as basin floor fan lobes. Though all major present day rivers tend east, mapping of shelf-slope system and various seismic attributes indicate the existence of a coarser clastic input system from the east.
