Surface geochemical prospecting for hydrocarbon exploration in parts of Cambay basin
The project aims to establish surface geochemical prospects as a guide for exploring the part of Cambay basin. This will help in identifying the hydrocarbon wealth of the basin.
Project involves quantification of adsorbed light gaseous hydrocarbons in the soil samples. Determination of source of hydrocarbons based upon stable carbon isotopic studies. Microbial techniques to confirm the hydrocarbon seeps. Establishing surface geochemical prospects as guides to hydrocarbon wealth
