Abstract
The study investigates the Andaman Nicobar Fault (ANF) and its role in the evolution of a volcano-supported basin adjacent to Narcondam Island, using three high-resolution 2D seismic reflection profiles. Migrated images show a fluid zone, determined through velocity and polarity analyses, with mean 1/Q values ranging from 0.0165 to 0.0096 for Lines 1 to 3. Additionally, polygonal faults are imaged, with varying thicknesses (0.1–0.4 km) of Miocene age, positioned above the fluid saturated zone. The migrated sections further show the branches of the ANF to be conduits for fluid migration and accumulation within the basinal deposits. The study finally highlights a shift in depocenter during the Neogene period, indicating fluctuations in sediment supply from the Irrawaddy River and the evolution of the ANF branch.
期刊介绍：
Marine and Petroleum Geology is the pre-eminent international forum for the exchange of multidisciplinary concepts, interpretations and techniques for all concerned with marine and petroleum geology in industry, government and academia. Rapid bimonthly publication allows early communications of papers or short communications to the geoscience community.
Marine and Petroleum Geology is essential reading for geologists, geophysicists and explorationists in industry, government and academia working in the following areas: marine geology; basin analysis and evaluation; organic geochemistry; reserve/resource estimation; seismic stratigraphy; thermal models of basic evolution; sedimentary geology; continental margins; geophysical interpretation; structural geology/tectonics; formation evaluation techniques; well logging.
