Abstract:
This thesis report presents the structural analysis, 2D seismic interpretation and petrophysical analysis of Meyal. Upper Indus Basin. The purpose of this dissertation is to describe the subsurface geology through seismic data interpretation and to identify the potential reservoir formation for hydrocarbons with the help of petrophysical analysis. The area of Meyal lies to the south of Potwar Sub-basin, Upper Indus basin, Pakistan. Pop up structural traps were found. A horizon has been marked, Chorgali Formation of Eocene age. 2D seismic interpretation is carried out on the study area and time & depth contours are generated. Based on the outcomes of the carried out studies, it is concluded that the area is structurally highly complex and consists of numerous thrust faults that have caused displacement of the strata. Petrophysical analyses revealed that the rock properties are suitable for the Formation to act as a reservoir. Chorgali Formation is evaluated on the bases of caliper, gamma ray and resistivity logs. Zone of interest is proved hydrocarbon wet reservoirs with the high percentages of effective porosities and with low percentage of volume of shale
