Abstract
In Mumbai Offshore Basin, the Heera structure is an important target for basement exploration. The present study, facilitated by availability of large number of cores, aims to map distribution and type of basement rocks, their fracture patterns and reservoir potential. The basement complex in the studied wells of Heera structure comprises dominantly of granite gneiss with minor mylonite and schists.
