Abstract:
Geographical location of the study area lies between latitude 33.01343-32.9817
and longitude 72.8472-72.8012. Rajian area lies within the, Upper Indus Basin in south
east of Salt Range Potwar Foreland Basin. The present study was conducted to revel
the subsurface geology of Rajian area by the structural interpretation of seismic sections
and to estimate the hydrocarbon saturation using petrophysical analysis the marked
horizons are identified using formation tops from wells Rajian-01 and Rajian-
03. Seismic interpretation of the given 2D information reveals that the study area has
undergone severe distortion illustrated by the event of thrusts and back thrusts forming
a triangle zone within the subsurface showing a pop-up geometry. The overall trend of
those structures is north-west south-east indicating the area to be a part of
compressional regime. The six zones interpreted by the petrophysical analysis includes
Chorgali Formation and Sakesar Limestone, shows hydrocarbon potential in the
Sakesar Limestone zone.
