2D SEISMIC INTERPRETATION AND RESERVOIR ANALYSIS OF KAL AREA, UPPER INDUS BASIN PAKISTAN

Abstract

The present study comprises the subsurface structural interpretation of Kal area using seismic sections and identification of hydrocarbon bearing zones using Petrophysical analysis. The Kal area lies within the Upper Indus Basin in SE of Salt Range Potwar Foreland Basin. The marked horizons are recognized using formation tops from wells Kal-01. 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. The final trend of those structures is NW-SE indicating the area to be a part of compressional regime. The zones interpreted by the study includes Sakessar Limestone and Khewra Sandstone that could have the most important crude potential within the study area.
