SEISMIC DATA INTERPRETATION AND PETROPHYSICAL ANALYSIS OF MEYAL AREA, POTWAR SUB-BASIN, PAKISTAN

Abstract

This research is about using Seismic interpretation and petrophysical analysis to identify the subsurface structural analysis and hydrocarbon potential of the Meyal region. There were three dip lines and two strike line in the data used in the research. For the petrophysical investigation, the well log data was also retrieved. The horizon on the formation tops designated Chorgali Formation and Sakesar Limestone were noted on the seismic data interpretation, and faults were discovered. The research area's subsurface structures were delineated using time, velocity, and depth contour maps. The study area's hydrocarbon potential was assessed based on the results of a petrophysical examination of the Meyal 9P well the hydrocarbon bearing zone, average hydrocarbon, and water saturation in the Meyal 9P well. The reflector was identified as Chorgali Formation, Sakesar Limestone, and Lockhart Formation using seismic interpretation; this was then cross-checked with petrophysical investigation, and the same conclusion was reached.
