The Cauvery Basin is located 160-460 km south of Chennai and encompasses an area of 25,000 sq.km. It is bounded by basement outcrops and fault lines and extends offshore. The basin is sub-divided into six sub-basins. It contains sedimentary rocks ranging from Pre-Cambrian to recent in age. Hydrocarbon source rocks are present from the Cretaceous period and reservoirs exist along the basin margins and fault zones.
