| Abstract | Assam basin being one of the princ ipal basins of the country has been classified as Category I basin in terms perspectivity .As the basin has been producing since last hundred years and now, looking at the high demand of hydrocarbon arose due to the exponential population growth, an attempt has been made to estimate the present HC potential and amount hydrocarbon generated, expelled an d retained in the three main source rocks of the basin. Four wells of the basin are studied, and t he maturity of source rocks indicates high maturity near Naga thrust zone and Mishimi Thrust zone and no or low maturity in the foreland part. In this study, estimation of some geochemical proper ties is done using WL data using logR method and used in Pet roleum System Modelling to get more pragmatic result s . Analytical calculations using Schmoker (1994) and Claypool et al., (2002) have been used for the shelf part of the basin over an area of 8000 km 2 and present HC potential for Barail source rock is estimated about 8.56 BBbl from PSM.In case of Kopili and Longpar, present HI is 9.55 mgHC/gTOC and 87.73 mgHC/gTOC resepectively with present HC potential 247. 54 Mtons (1.79 Bbbl) and 3631.60 Mtons (26.29 Bbbls) H ydrocarbon generation in Barail, K opili and Longpar formations are found as 34.92 Bbbl, 15.34 B bbl and 23.31 Bbbl respectively. For Barail and Longpar, hydrocarbons retained are found as 3.15 Bbbl and 0.81 Bbbl respectively . |
