2D Seismic Interpretation and Petro physical Analysis of Qadirpur Area, Central Indus Basin, Pakistan

Abstract

This research presents a comprehensive seismic data interpretation and petrophysical analysis of the Qadirpur-03 well located in the Qadirpur area. Focused on both the Habib Rahi Formation as a reservoir and the Ghazij Formation as an unconventional source, the study encompasses an extensive evaluation of five seismic lines: 985-QPR-01, 985-QPR-02, 985-QPR-03, 90-QPR-05, and 90-QPR-06. Through detailed seismic interpretation, key structural and stratigraphic features were identified, providing insights into the subsurface geology. The analysis revealed crucial information regarding the distribution and characteristics of the Habib Rahi and Ghazij formations. Petrophysical analysis of the Habib Rahi Formation included assessing porosity, shale volume, and hydrocarbon saturation, yielding significant findings on the reservoir potential. Similarly, the unconventional Ghazij Formation was thoroughly investigated to understand its hydrocarbon prospects by using Indonesian’s equation and DlogR method to highlight effects and have better understanding. The integration of seismic and petrophysical data offers a deeper understanding of the geological and hydrocarbon potential of the Qadirpur-03 well, contributing to the broader knowledge of hydrocarbon exploration in the region.
