Application of Seismic Attribute Analysis, Subsurface Structure Interpretation, and Petrophysical Analysis for Delineation of Hydrocarbon Prospect, Mari Area, Central Indus Basin, Pakistan

Abstract

The Mari Gas Field is located in the Punjab Platform of the Central Indus Basin. This area hosts extensional regime, and normal faults are observed in seismic section. The research has been done to identify the potential reservoir in the area. The migrated seismic lines in the study area PPL96-23, PPL96-19, PPL96-13, PPL96-46, and PPL96-44 for the purpose of seismic interpretation and petrophysical analysis of Daud X-01. Daud X-01 is the well which was the project of PPL, but was later abandoned. Our main focus is A Sand, being our study area, and a target of our research as main productive formation. Time, and depth contour maps for the purpose of seismic interpretation. In petrophysical analysis, average volume of shale, average porosity, effective porosity, and average hydrocarbon saturation is studied.
