Structural and Petrophysical Evaluation of Badin Area, Lower Indus Basin, Pakistan (P-1226) (MFN 6872)

Abstract

The aim was to understand the tectonics and geology ofthe Badin block along with the interpretation procedure of migrated seismic sections to check out the subsurface structures, that maybe possible lead for hydrocarbons. Using control line, horizons were marked, namely Parh Limestone, Lower Goru Formation and Chiltan Formation. As the area is in the extensional regime so the faults marked in the area were normal faults making horst and graben structure, dipping in East and West directions and forming half negative flower structure. Petro physical analysis of subsurface was done with well Pirshah-O 1.No hydrocarbon bearing zone was found in the given logs. These low values of resistivities were due to presence of saline fluid, which are highly conductive and produce low resistivity zone.
