Abstract

The Banskandi and north plunge of Teidukhan areas are part of Cachar fold belt. Gas is being produced from Banskandi doubly plunging anticline and gas has been found in northwest direction outside the north plunge of Teidukhan area. The 2D seismic surveys carried earlier in the vicinity of Banskandi anticline area could not locate structural and stratigraphic traps with high degree of confidence. The Teidukhan area is virgin as geological; GM or seismic surveys were not carried out due to forest and hilly terrain. The two areas fall in pre NELP block of Assam.
