Abstract

Geomicrobial hydrocarbon prospecting methods which involves quantification and distribution of hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria (HUB) in surface sediment has become a cost effective and new methods of the modern petroleum exploration that enhances exploration success and reduces finding costs. It offers more effective way of hydrocarbon finding and improving discovery rates in integration with other geophysical and geological exploration techniques. Evaluation of hydrocarbon prospectivity has been carried out in this present work for prioritizing leads and prospects on the basis of microbial anomalies in Khubal area of Tripura and understanding the genesis of the anomaly and its relationship with oil and gas accumulations by non- seismic microbial anomalies method
