India's Sedimentary Basins: Subsurface Insights 59

2.3.11 CHHATTISGARH BASIN

Chhattisgarh is a Category III basin with entirely undiscovered in-place, that calls for intense
exploration for a potential discovery.

The basin overlaps with the state(s) of Chhattisgarh, Odisha.

in the basin. Aerial Yield approach has been used
on analogy of Vindhyan Basin.

Chhattisgarh basin has a total hydrocarbon
in-place of 25 MMTOE and this is entirely
undiscovered risked in-place.

• Basin datasets and studies:

As of 31.03.2025, NDR has archived primary
datasets of 1,999 LKM 2D seismic. Multiple

Peninsular India.

The elements of petroleum system in the basin
are largely speculative.

Entire Proterozoic sequence of the basin has
been considered as a single Proterozoic Play and
sub-divided into four assessment units based on
geological rationales.

Study of sub-trappean sequences is the focus
area.
