Abstract
The Fang basin is a Cenozoic fault-bounded intermontane basin, located in Amphoe Fang, Chang Mai province, northern Thailand. This area has been surveyed, explored for hydrocarbons and production started by Northern Petroleum Development Center. The purpose of this project is to study the lithostratigraphy of Mae Sot Formation, Fang basin, by using cuttings and wire-line log data. Lithostratigraphic study of Mae Sot Formation will lead to a better understanding of its deposition environment. This will in turn help in petroleum exploration and production in Fang basin and other similar Tertiary basins in Thailand.
