        Geo-microbial and geochemical evidences in the near surface soils of Jamnagar sub-basin, Saurashtra, Gujarat, India: implications to hydrocarbon resource potential

        Mohammed A. Rasheed,M. Lakshmi,M.S. Kalpana,P.L.S. Rao,D.J. Patil,V. Sudarshan,A.M. Dayal 한국지질과학협의회 2012 Geosciences Journal Vol.16 No.4

        The Jamnagar sub-basin of Saurashtra, Gujarat is considered geologically prospective for hydrocarbons by Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), India. However the major part of the Jamnagar sub-basin is covered by Deccan Traps, hindering the exploration of Mesozoic hydrocarbon targets. In India, significant hydrocarbon finding in the stratigraphic sequence has not been established, as the major part of the Mesozoic sediments is underlying the Deccan Traps. Detection and mapping of the Mesozoic sediments below the Deccan Trap has been a long-standing complex geophysical problem facing the oil industry. The vast sheet of volcanic cover, which overlies the Mesozoic sediments acts as a geophysical shield and inhibit the effective use of conventional seismic techniques. Surface geochemical techniques based on hydrocarbon microseepage from subsurface accumulations, have potential to evaluate the prospects for petroleum exploration. In view of this, surface geochemical survey for adsorbed soil gas and microbial analysis was conducted in Jamnagar sub-basin, total 150 near surface soil samples were collected for the evaluation of hydrocarbon resource potential of the Basin. Microbial analysis revealed high bacteria counts for methane (1.32×106 cfu/gm), ethane (8.50× 105 cfu/gm), propane (6.86×105 cfu/gm) and butane oxidizing bacteria (5.70×105 cfu/gm) in soil samples of Jamnagar sub-basin. The bacterial concentration distribution maps show three distinct anomalies in the study area, indicating hydrocarbon microseepage at these places. The geochemical investigations in soil samples showed the presence of high adsorbed hydrocarbon gases concentration of methane (C1) 1 to 518 ppb and Ethane plus hydrocarbons (C2+) 1 to 977 ppb respectively. Further, carrying out integrated geo-microbial and geo-chemical studies with adsorbed soil gas showed the anomalous hydrocarbon zones nearby Khandera, Haripur, and Laloi areas which could probably aid to assess the true potential of the Basin. On the basis of microbial prospecting and adsorbed soil gas studies Jamnagar sub-basin study area appears to be a warm zone for hydrocarbon prospects and needs detailed investigation with other geo-scientific methods. Integrated geophysical studies have shown that Jamnagar sub-basin of Saurashtra has significant sediment thickness below the Deccan Traps and can be considered for future hydrocarbon exploration. The corroboration of adsorbed light gaseous hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon oxidizing bacteria suggests its efficacy as one of the potential tool in surface geochemical exploration of hydrocarbons.

        The microbial activity in development of hydrocarbon microseepage: an indicator for oil and gas exploration

        Mohammed A. Rasheed,M. Lakshmi,M.S. Kalpana,A.M. Dayal,D.J. Patil 한국지질과학협의회 2013 Geosciences Journal Vol.17 No.3

        Geomicrobial prospecting for hydrocarbons is an exploration method based on the seepage of lighter hydrocarbons from oil/gas reservoirs to the surface and their utilization by hydrocarbon oxidizing bacteria. These bacteria utilize the hydrocarbons as their sole source of food and are found to be enriched in the near surface soils/sediments above the oil and gas reservoirs. The detection of anomalous populations of hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria in the surface soils can help to evaluate the prospects for hydrocarbon exploration. Geomicrobial prospecting studies have been carried out to test the efficacy of surface geochemical methods as regional evaluation tools in the petroliferous region of Mehsana Block, North Cambay Basin, Gujarat and to investigate whether the geomicrobial anomalies can establish an upward migration of hydrocarbons from the deep subsurface. In the present study, bacterial counts for n-pentane utilizing bacteria range between 1.0×102 and 9.80×105 cfu/g and and n-hexane utilizing bacteria range between 1.0×102 and 9.20×105 cfu/g. The bacterial concentration distribution maps show four distinct anomalies in the study area. The possibility of discovering oil or gas reservoirs using the microbiological method is emphasized by the fact that the hydrocarbon oxidizing bacteria range between 103 and 106 cfu/g in soil/sediment receiving hydrocarbon microseepages. In the present study area of the Mehsana Block of Cambay Basin, n-pentane and n-hexane utilizing bacteria show 105 cfu/g of soil sample, which is significant and thereby substantiates the seepage of lighter hydrocarbons from oil and gas reservoirs. Geomicrobial prospecting method has shown good correlation with existing oil/ gas fields of Mehsana, Gujarat.
