Oil in India

The document summarizes the major oil and gas basins in India, including the source rocks, reservoir rocks, and trap types for each basin. The Bombay Offshore basin contains tertiary pericratonic traps on Deccan traps with source rocks including Miocene shales and Paleocene to Oligocene shales. Other basins mentioned include the Cambay, Krishna Godavari, Cauvery, TripuraCachar, Assam Shelf, and Rajasthan basins. Reservoir rocks in these basins range from Cretaceous to Miocene sandstones, with traps including structural features like faults and folds as well as stratigraphic features.
