Abstract


To explore for hydrocarbons in the established plays of Nannilam & Bhuvanagiri Formations as the primary target and to establish new play in deeper Andimadam Formation in palk bay, 3D-2C seismic data was acquired during FS: 2013-14. Survey area consists of different logistics such as human habitat, fish ponds, river and back water, paddy fields, coconut gardens, railway track, highways and coastal belt. Seismic data acquisition in these types of logistically difficult area needs meticulous planning & implementation to achieve quality data and as well as very good time management.
