2D Seismic Interpretation of Fazalpur Area, Central Indus Basin, Pakistan (P-1242) (MFN 8064)

Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to delineate the sub surface structure and hydrocarbon potential of an area.The area under study is Fazalpur which is located in Punjab province in District Dera Ghazi Khan. Latitude and longitude of the area are 29º 15’ to 29º 30’ North and 70º 10’ to 70º 40’ East. It lies in Suleiman depression in the Central Indus Basin. It is comprised of monoclinal structure. The following study is done for sub-surface hydrocarbon potential evaluation by integrating the seismic and well data approaches. The target horizons were marked by making the TD chart using well tops of Choti-01. The two-way time and depth contour maps prepared as a result of interpretation, have confirmed the presence of monocline trending SE to NW. The time to depth conversion is done using the available RMS velocities on the seismic sections. The monoclinal structure is swallowing towards SE and deepening towards NW.
