In which of the following oil and gas fields is limestone the reservoir rock ?

  • A.Cambay Basin
  • B.Bombay high
  • C.Krishna-Godawari Basin
  • D.Cauvery Basin

Answer: B

The limestone reservoir is at Bombay High.

Bombay High (Mumbai High), India's largest offshore oil field, discovered in 1974, produces mainly from Miocene limestone (carbonate) reservoirs, the L-II and L-III layers, sealed by shales.

The Cambay basin produces mainly from Palaeogene sandstones and the Krishna-Godavari and Cauvery basins mainly from sandstones as well, so limestone is not their characteristic reservoir rock.
