Abstract

Basin analysis is one of the most significant and complex tasks in the field of oil and gas exploration. In the stage of basin analysis, it needs to establish the necessary boundary conditions that should be present in the basin for hydrocarbons to occur in rocks and their accumulation. Certain conditions must be met e.g., presence of a source rock, reservoir rock, with adequate porosity and permeability, traps (structural, stratigraphic or combination), overlain by adjacent to an impermeable layer (cap rock or seal) within the basin. To estimate such conditions geophysical tools such as seismic, gravity, and magnetic are used for surveying. Therefore, this study is conducted by the use of integrated seismic and well data in the Ganga Valley basin, which is one of the major sedimentary basins in the Indian subcontinent adjacent to Himalaya.
