Himalayas have greater potential of Petroleum how and why
geography please post correct answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Please Give me a Brainliest

Explanation:

a Serious note, Presence of natural gas has been proved in Himalayan Foreland basin (Lesser Himalayas). If you are an Indian, you might have heard of Jwala Ji , described as an eternal flame of natural gas on surface in Northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh Exploration has been going on in those area since 1958 A petroleum system 5 must have's 1. Source rock? - Yes, There are rocks which are rich in Organic content, Which under suitable condition lead to Generation of Oi 2. Reservoir Rock? - Yes, Limestones and Sandstones, Also secondary porosity due to tectonic activity helps. 3. Migration Oil and Gas have lesser density values, so they always try to move up 4. Cap Rock Something has to stop them from moving from reservoir to surface, Cap rocks in Himalayas are mainly tertiary argillaceous sequences roughly means containing Clay- So don't let the fluid pass through the rocks), Can work as Cap Rock. 5. Trapping Mechanism - Tectonics of Himalayas are so dominant that the trapping mechanisms are mainly Structural, Though combinationı traps are also present

Answer 2

Answer:

Himalayas are highest mountains of the asian landmass. Being divided into the lesser and the greater and the transhimlayan ranges they have originated from the sedimentation process and the shivalik region has a good potential  for the hydrocarbon exploration.

Explanation:

• The Himalayan orogeny is shaped by the sedimentary basins and the continuous deformation of this region by the fold and fault has developed conventional and nonconventional sources of energy. And this is considered to be suitable for the exploration due to it has an n techno-sedimentary environment and shows the presence of the oils and the gas reserves.

• Although the study is still going on to understand the structural geologic setting of the NW Himalayas as a commercial potential for the oil and mineral wealth accumulation near the salt range formation of the potwar basin.

• The evidence collected from the Mesozoic and the early Eocene succession of the Tethyan Himalayas have sandstone and limestone rocks. The stratigraphy of the Kohat and potwar basin extends into the  Margalla, Kala Chitta and Samana Range that have the thrust sheets of the hydrocarbon potential.

• At times the exploration has been hampered by the difficult terrain and the drilling complications and the timing of the trap formations.
