Hydrocarbon Potential of the Disang Group of Rocks of the Inner Paleogene Fold Belt of Assam-Arakan Basin Exposed along the Dimapur-Senapati Road Section of Nagaland and Manipur, India

Abstract: Carbonaceous shales of the Upper Disang Formation of the Inner Paleogene Fold Belt of Assam-Arakan Basin, exposed along the Dimapur-Senapati road section of Nagaland and Manipur states of India have been studied for interpreting hydrocarbon potential. The Upper Disang Formation is mostly composed of alteration of shales, sandstones and siltstones. The shales are black coloured and splintery in nature. The shales and associated sandstones show sedimentary structures like bioturbation, cross bedding and ripple m… Show more

“…Krishnan (1968) regarded the Disangs as geosynclinal lithological facies which is well developed to the east and southeast of the Ha ong-Disang Thrust in Nagaland, Manipur and beyond. Earlier studies stated that Disang Group represents deep water turbidite deposit and the shales exhibit high maturity but poor hydrocarbon generation potential (Baruah et al, 2007;Gogoi and Sarmah, 2013;Gogoi et al, 2023). The sandstones are sublithic arenite and lithic wacke type derived from igneous and metamorphic sources in a recycled orogen tectonic setting (Phukon et al, 2010; Gogoi and Sarmah, 2021 and Gogoi et al, 2023).…”
