Structural and Reservoir Evaluation, using Seismic and Log Analysis of Pindori Area, Potwar, Pakistan (T-1518) (MFN 5010)

Abstract

The main purpose of the dissertation is to evaluate the structure and hydrocarbon potential using seismic and well log data of Pindori area, Upper Indus Basin, Pakistan. Pindori area lies in the Chakwal District of Punjab region in the Potwar sub-basin region of Upper Indus Basin Pakistan. The Potwar sub-basin is situated at the northern margin of the Pakistan in the western foothills of Himalaya. It comprises of the Potwar plateau, the Jhelum plain and the Salt Range. The Pindori structure is thought to be enriched by potential hydrocarbon, trapped up dip from the depo center of soan depression. The targeted Formations were of Eocene, Permian and Cambrian age. For structural enhancement, five migrated seismic lines i.e. S88-04, S88-05, S88-06, S88-07, S88-08 and S88-034 were used. Time and depth contour maps of two horizons, Top chorgali Formation, Base chorgali Formation were generated which confirmed the Pop up anticline structures in the subsurface. For petrophysical analysis one zone has been marked at the level of chorgali Formation and the other is marked at the level of sakesar.
