Abstract

The eastern margin of Cambay Basin is known for many oil occurrences. Commercial discovery of oil within the Olpad Formation in a well in Mansa area has added a new dimension to oil exploration in the area. The success prompted intensified exploration activities to chase the lead. A number of studies have been carried out in the recent past to understand the Olpad play in Charada-Mansa area. The present work brought out Olpad depositional model along with reservoir model by integrating results of various studies. The study also demonstrates heavy oil distribution pattern within the formation.
