Determination of rock boundaries in shallow marine sediments is very important to understand several issues related to the exploration of conventional and non-conventional hydrocarbons. Presently a combined wavelet and Fourier transform-based approach was demonstrated to discriminate the rock layers from wireline log data in Krishna-Godavari basin, which were acquired during the India National Gas Hydrate Program Expedition 02 (NGHP-Exp.-02). Initially, we selected the suitable mother wavelets and optimum level of decomposition to perform the wavelet transform by computing the error between the original log signal(s) and approximation coefficients (cA’s) of the decomposed signal(s) at several decomposition levels. Subsequently, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) of a particular decomposition level was applied to the log signals to obtain the detail coefficients (cD’s), which contain the high-frequency components of the log signals. Further, these high-frequency components of the log signals were utilized in frequency spectrum-based filtering approaches. This approach was adapted to yield information about the abrupt changes occurring in the log signals across the studied depth interval. The combined application of Fourier and wavelet transforms to shallow marine log data demonstrates that this approach is an efficient tool for delineating rock layer boundaries.</p>","PeriodicalId":50001,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Geological Society of India","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138819913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The water is hard and alkaline in nature, but most of the constituent ions excluding F<sup>-</sup> are within permissible limits for human consumption. Four factors satisfying over 86% of the total variance and three clusters corresponding to geogenic, alkaline and anthropogenic processes have been identified. Ca<sup>2+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>, Na<sup>+</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>, F<sup>−</sup>, CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2−</sup> and HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> are geogenic, contributed by the basement rocks and soils.

K<sup>+</sup> and F<sup>−</sup> belong to both the categories while Na<sup>−</sup> and Cl<sup>−</sup> are contributed by saline intrusion to some extent.

Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) (n=49) was conducted at various locations in the Bichpuri block, Agra district. In this study for VES, the Schlumberger configuration was used. VES data were reconciled with the borehole well log, and drill sample cuttings were utilized to understand sub-surface configuration. Reconciled VES data displayed variation in resistivity layer parameters, i.e., layer thickness & true resistivity of sub-surface. True resistivity spatial models were developed at 25m intervals from the ground surface down to the depth of 150m, based on geo-electric parameters. Resistivity models reveal that freshwater is limited to 55m depth, beyond which groundwater is saline to brackish. The basement was encountered at a depth of 120m and further extended up to 150m. A groundwater potential map was prepared using GIS and divided into 3 categories–good, moderate, and poor. Major habitations of the study area lie in poor groundwater potential zone, which is a cause of concern with the intent on future development.
