Abstract

Sub/infra-trappeanProterozoic-Mesozoic sediments can be possible areas for future hydrocarbon exploration. The vast Deccan trap cover in the central and south-western part of Indian peninsula has remained a barrier for such endeavors for long. This study attempts to unravel the distribution of infra-trappean sediments lying below Deccan Trap by integrating various geological and geophysical tools i.e. 2D Seismic profiles, Gravity data, well data, geochemical data etc. Study led identification of sediment depocenters below the Deccan Traps. There was congruity of Gravity and Seismic data at most places, however incongruity was observed at places.
