2D Seismic Interpretation of Seismic Lines in Nandraki / Shakardara Area, Kohat Basin, Pakistan (P-1043) (MFN 3038)

Abstract

Nandraki / Shakardara area is one of the compressional tectonic regimes of Pakistan. In order to carry out the structural interpretation of the Nandraki / Shakardara, three seismic dip lines and one strike line were interpreted. Two way travel time and depth mapping helped in delineating the structural trend and understanding the tectonics of the area. There are indications of reactivation of faults indicating the occurrence of various tectonic episodes. Existing structural trend of the area provides basic components of a profilic petroleum system. Potential Reservoirs may be present with the fault planes. The main constituents of petroleum system are present but there is still a requirement of advance techniques to improve seismic resolution and quality of interpretation.
