Abstract
The use of seismics to recognise and map stratigraphic traps is becoming an important phase of exploration activity in mature hydrocarbon provinces, world over. The stratigraphic wedge-outs have provided excellent trapping mechanism in some of the giant fields of the world. Surat depression is known to be the main kitchen for the hydrocarbon occurrences in Bombay High and around. Commercial accumulations have been encountered in Mid-Tapti and South Tapti fields of Surat depression. These accumulations are in structural traps. However, further updip, over Saurashtra shelf, the exploratory efforts have remained limited due to the absence of any structural prospects, The present paper deals with the interpretation of close grid seismic data with an objective to: i) identify seismic sequences and the depositional environments and ii) to map stratigraphic trap at levels equivalent to Eocene sands with oil indications encountered in the earlier drilled exploratory wells.
