It is surrounded by several active fault zones due to which earthquakes are a frequent activity in Pakistan. Pakistan Meteorological Department Seismology Division is responsible for keeping a record of these events. The primary goal of this research project is to trace these events and separate them from the noise. After that separation, different calculations will be applied to check the quality of seismic data obtained from three different stations of Islamabad, Lahore, and Peshawar Supervised by Dr. Adil Naseer Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/21544 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/21545 2d Seismic Data Interpretation and Petrophysical Analysis of Miano Gas Field, Lower Indus Basin, Pakistan Muhaiman Gul, 01-166222-010; Yameena Eman, 01-166222-018 The thesis used 2D seismic interpretation to observe and comprehend the subsurface geology of the Miano region, and petrophysical formulas were used to estimate the hydrocarbon saturation. The studied region is impacted by extensional tectonics, which results in normal faults that are visible in interpreted seismic sections. Because of the trend of these faults, the area contains graben and horst structures that aid in the accumulation of hydrocarbons. The Upper Goru serves as a seal, completing the petroleum system, whereas the Lower Goru is the reservoir formation and the Sembar Formation is the main source rock in the research region. This thesis created time and depth contour maps of the Lower Goru and Ranikot formations after marking three horizons on a seismic section known as Lower Goru of the Cretaceous age, Sui Main Limestone of the Eocene age. The Lower Goru Formation was subjected to petrophysical study, and four hydrocarbon-bearing zones were found based on the log curve. Average shale volume, hydrocarbon saturation, and effective porosity values were computed for these zones Supervised by Dr Urooj Shakir Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/21545 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/19889 Subsurface Structural Interpretation and Petrophysical Analysis of Bitrism Area, Southern Indus Basin, Pakistan M. Daniyal Qureshi; Momin Javeed This study presents a comprehensive geophysical and petrophysical investigation of the Bitrism area located within the Lower Indus Basin, with a primary focus on hydrocarbon exploration. The seismic interpretation involved the structural mapping of key formations, including the Kirthar Limestone, Sui Main Limestone, Lower Ranikot, Upper Goru and Lower Goru Formations using 2D seismic data and synthetic seismogram correlation. The area is structurally defined by an extensional tectonic regime, evident from the presence of multiple normal faults that have resulted in horst and graben structures. These structural features serve as potential hydrocarbon traps and time-depth contour mapping further supports the identification of promising drilling prospects. Complementing the seismic analysis, petrophysical evaluation of the Lower Goru Formation, specifically from the 2928m to 2934m depth interval, indicates moderate reservoir quality. The zone exhibits a shale volume of 10.77%, effective porosity of 8.95%, and hydrocarbon saturation of 20.94%. Despite a relatively high water saturation, the integration of geological and petrophysical parameters confirms the presence of viable hydrocarbon accumulations. Overall, the study concludes that the Bitrism area holds significant potential for future hydrocarbon development, supported by favorable subsurface structures and reservoir characteristics.

The study area is affected by extensional tectonics, causing normal faults in the area which are marked in interpreted seismic sections and due to the trend of these faults the area has horst and graben structures which helps in hydrocarbon accumulation. Sembar Formation is the major source rock in the study area and the reservoir Formation is Lower Goru with the Upper Goru acting as a seal hence completing the petroleum system. In this thesis, three horizons were marked on a seismic section named Lower Goru of the Cretaceous age, Sui Main Limestone of Eocene and Habib Rahi Formation, also of Eocene age and then the time and depth contour maps were generated Lower Goru and Habib Rahi formations. Petrophysical analysis was performed on the Lower Goru Forma and four hydrocarbon-bearing zones were identified based on the log curve and average values of the volume of shale, a saturation of hydrocarbon, and effective porosity were calculated for these zones.
