Abstract EN
The indus basin is considered as prolific hydrocarbon-bearing province of Pakistan.
the study area is located in the middle indus basin.
two wells (Bagh-X-01 and Budhuana-01) were drilled in the vicinity of the study area to determine the hydrocarbon potential of the area.
both wells show no hydrocarbon reserves and are thus abandoned.
the present study emphasizes two-dimensional subsurface seismic interpretation and rock physics evaluation to estimate reservoir properties of the jurassic samana suk formation.
data from nine 2-D seismic lines and two wells have been utilized to evaluate the potential.
the time contour maps indicate the existence of subsurface structural features in the study area.
with the help of the 3-D geological model, the faults are marked in the samana suk formation and the structure is identified as a monocline.
the 3-D geological modeling results also reveal that samana suk formation tends to become thin in the northeast, and thick in the southwest.
the petrophysical interpretation was performed to find the hydrocarbon potential of the formation.
the cross plot between P-impedance and Vp/Vs ratio shows that the lithology cannot be differentiated by the logs.
rock physics parameters such as poisson’s ratio, bulk modulus, shear modulus, shear wave velocity, primary wave velocity, Vp/Vs ratio, and density indicate that there are no considerable hydrocarbon reserves in the samana suk formation.
