Brief Industrial Profile of Dibrugarh District
1.2 Topography
The Dibrugarh district is located in the north eastern corner of the Upper Brahamputra valley south
with an altitude ranging between 99 and 474 meters. A major part of it is and extensive plain formed by the
Brahamputra and its major south bank tributary-the Buri Dihing.
The topoography of the district is constituted by a variety of elements such as flood plain, beels and
swamps, occasional highlands and foothills of the Barail Range. The Brahamputra river is fairly wide here
(average width 10km). The general gradient of the district of the area is from south-east to north-west. The
altitude of the south-easternmost corner covering the Hapjan Parvat and Hilika Parvat of the Barail foot hills
is 200m. The height decreases gradually from this corner to the mouth of the Buri Dihing river where the
altitude is 99 m. However the northern belt of the area has a gentle slope from east to west. The altitude of
the eastern part is 115 m, while it is 99 m in the western part. The average east-west slope is 152 cm per km.
Because of the relatively high slope and large volume of water, the Brahamputra flows with a high velocity
causing significant bank erosion in the area. The earthquake of 1950 (magnitude 8.7 in the Richter scale,
3
Poddar, 1952) accelerated the intensity of bank erosion. The impact is alarming in the north of Dibrugarh city
and Rahmaria mouza.
The area may be divided into three distinct physiographic zones stretching parallel to the Brahamputra
river. These are : (i) The active floodplain and 'charland', (ii) the middle plain; and (iii) the southern foothills.
Coal:
Large deposits of coal exist in two different fields, viz.,Makum and Jaipur. The Makum coalfield is the well
developed and important one occurring near Ledo-Margherita and having a length of30 km and a width of 5
km including Baragolai, Ledo, Tipang and Namdang mines along the southern boundary of the Dibrugarh
district. At least, five workable seams of coal successively 18 m, 2.30m, 6,0m, 1.50m are well developed.
The workable indicated reserve is of the order of 235 million tones to a depth of 300m.
The Jaipur coalfield covers a tract 15 km long and roughly 1 km wide at the base of the Jaipur-
Tipam hills along the course of the Disang river which separated Dibrugarh and Sibsagar District.
Six coal seams have been recorded in this field out of which the lowermost seam is 11.89m thick,and
in seam No.3 the thickness varies from 2,70m to 4.25 m .The others very in thickness between 0.30 m and
2.0 m. Richest development of the seams are in the vicinity of the Disang river. Inferred workable reserves of
the coal up to a depth of 100m have been estimated at about 100 m have been estimated at about 10 million
tones.
Petroleum:
Seepages of crude petroleum with bubble discharges of natural gas are seen along the base of the
Jaipur-Tipam –Digboi range of hills as well as along with valley of Buri-Dehing river near Margherita . The
important ones amongst them are in the Barapatra and Naharjan streams in Jaipur and Digboi
;Makumpather,Hilikapani and Namangpani and around Margherita and Namchik towards east of the Makum
coal field.
The discovery of a big oil seepage in Digboi in Digboi jungle during the construction of the Dibrugarh
–Ledo railway line in 1882, eventually led to the discovery of Digboi oilfield.
Crude oil at Digboi occurs in 24 different oil sand horizons within a stratigraphic thickness of 1,065 m
of Tipam sandstone. The Digboi crude is of mixed paraffin and asphalt base with fair proportion of cyclic
hydrocarbobns.
The Naharkatia oilfield covers Naharkatia-Hungrijan area in the Dehing valley Oil occurs in this field
in 5 main producing oil sand horizons within a thick stratigraphic unit of the Barails struck at a depth between
3000 m and 3,926 m.
Natural Gas:
Large reserves pf Natural gas are found in association with oil in the Naharkatia field. For utilization
of the gas, a thermal power station and a fertilizer factory have already been set up in Namrup.
