... well ‘B’ which was drilled on the Mandapam Delft Ridge. An electro log correlation (Fig.5) through wells ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘E’ and ‘F’ clearly bring out the varying thickness of the intrusives. In wire line logs they are charecterised by low GR reading, high density, high resistivity and high interval veloc ...
