Abstract

The present study area is on the northern part of the buried Ninety East Ridge between 110 to 140 latitude to the west of Andaman Islands. The areas have water depth ranging from 2700 to 3200m and yet to be explored for hydrocarbon. Available seismic data in the area is minimal. In the only well drilled in the shallow water on the accretionary prism to the west of the North Andaman Island, sediments from Late Cretaceous to Recent were encountered
