Abstract

The Lower Barmer Hill (LBH) Member of the Barmer Hill Formation has significant unconventional resource potential. The paper focuses on assessing shale play prospectivity on a source kitchen, the Kaameshwari graben, in the central Barmer Basin and has complete 3D seismic coverage. Three wells drilled through the target LBH formation in the structural highs have quad-combo wireline logs. The zone of interest in the graben is at depths of 4000-5000m. Maturity in the graben is expected in the gas window. The potential target area is demarcated by combining gross thickness, organic richness, and thermal maturity maps. 76 sq km of gas play was identified with 300
