Abstract

Hydrocarbon exploration in complex clastic reservoirs is always a challenge due to their inherent complexity. The situation becomes even more intricate when tectonics plays a major role in reservoir dispersal. Sometimes, using coarse-resolution seismic datasets does not add a proper solution to the problem. Therefore, an alternative strategy using high-resolution datasets was mandatory to understanding the sub-seismic complexity of the reservoir. The current study is focused on constructing the tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the syn-rift sediments of the Olapd formation in the Cambay Basin using a multi well dip-modeling technique.
