Abstract

Cauvery basin in southern part of India is one of the pioneer sedimentary basins in the country that has posed a sustained challenge for nearly four decades to geoscientists looking for oil and gas. Over the years, the production of c rude oil from onland wells in this basin has been going up. Recurring findings for hydrocarbons in this basin has meant acquiring a substantial amount of geoscientific data, reviewing them, undertaking three-dimensional seismic surveys and then discovering the hydrocarbon reservoirs.
