Abstract

Hydrocarbon potential of shales have been studied extensively worldwide by various methods. e.g Vitrinite Reflectance(Ro), Thermal Alteration method etc. In the present study P-half method and Overlay technique have been applied to different fields under Cambay basin using well log data. Both Producing wells and Abandoned wells of different fields in Cambay basin have been selected and different logs of these wells have been used. Testing results particularly in Shale sections have also been corroboroted in the study. Differentiating Trend for producing and non-producing wells were found to have emerged. These methods can be applied to take a measure of HC potential of the vast Shale sections of Cambay as well as other Basins
