AbstractThe Chaiprakarn field is located in the south of the Fang basin, which Fang basin is the first petroleum investigation in Thailand. The 3D seismic survey had been done in this area since 2006. Top of three horizons accumulated during from Pre-Tertiary – Quaternary period can be interpreted on the seismic section based on well logging interpretation at well FA-HM-50-01. From these top horizons, stratigraphic unit of this area can be described upward successively, Basement Unit, Middle & Lower Mae Sod Unit, Upper Mae Sod Unit, and Mae Fang Unit. Three time structure maps can be computed showing the deepest part of basin is in the west side of area. Three isochron maps display that the west side of the area have thicker than the east side of the area. The faults structures occur in the area are normal faults trending in NNE –SSW direction. The major fault is located in the west part of the basin creating half graben basin. The minor faults are mainly located in the west and east margin of the basin creating tilted fault block. The normal faults of this area are results from regional tectonic, mainly effect from collision of Indian Plate against Eurasian Plate resulting in strike-slip fault and then the structures in the basin developed in E – W extensional stress during Late Eocene to Miocene. In Late Miocene to Pliocene, the sediments had still accumulated together with rifting process. After that, the sediments accumulate continuously without regional tectonic event in timing of Pleistocene to Recent.
