Abstract

The study area comprising of Wadu-PaliyadWadasma Fields and northern part of Kalol Field is located in Mehsans-Ahmedabad Tectonic block of Cambay Basin (Fig.1). The NNW-SSE trending Cambay rift basin, situated in the northwestern part of the Indian pre-Cambrian shield, is segmented into five different tectonic blocks by ENE-WSW trending transverse faults. The Kalol Formation, deposited during post rift thermal subsidence stage, is the main producer of hydrocarbons in Wadu and Paliyad fields. Hydrocarbon reserves are mainly contained in multiple pays of Kalol formation of Middle Eocene age. Present study is focused on delineation of K-VIII pay within Sertha member of Kalol Formation
