Padra Field, located in the eastern margin of south Cambay Basin, India is known for oil and gas production from unconventional fractured basaltic Deccan Trap. Earlier studies of Padra Trap showed moderately weathered basalt as the reservoir rock. However a thorough study integrating core and high resolution image log for characterizing the volcanic reservoir was yet to be ventured. Fracture modeling on PETREL™ platform was attempted using point data from wells and the resultant model was found to be in agreement with production data from wells. Difficulties faced during fracture coding based on FMI™ data owing to highly scattered fracture dip azimuths necessitated the present study to integrate FMI™ with core data.
