Abstract:The Ganges Brahmaputra Delta and the associated Bengal Fan is the world's largest delta/submarine fan complex. The deepwater areas of the Bengal and Rakhine Basins are relatively underexplored frontier areas.

As additional blocks are licensed, new data will be acquired to evaluate the area including 3D CSEM which is being considered as a complementary exploration method to seismic data.T… Show more
