Abstract
This study pertains to the evaluation of shale gas and rock physics properties of this area with respect to its total organic content of Sember Formation, Khiproarea, Pakistan. We use well logs data for this study. The Khipro area is prominent in the Lower Indus Basin for its hydrocarbon (oil and gas) structural traps. In shale gas evaluation, TOC of Sember Formation is estimated. The analysis has been done with the help of the wire line data of the well Bilal North-01. The presence of shale gas in the study area is analyzed with the help of different techniques. Rock physics and petrophysical analysis have been done in order to get the properties of the area related to the shale gas evaluation.
Highlights
The study area, Khipro Block is tectonically situated in Southern Indus Basin and geographically in the Sanghar district Sindh province of Pakistan
Southern Indus Basin is very important for hydrocarbon exploration because it is the main producing oil and gas basin of Pakistan
Khipro is located in the Thar platform area of Southern Indus Basin
Summary
The study area, Khipro Block is tectonically situated in Southern Indus Basin and geographically in the Sanghar district Sindh province of Pakistan. Southern Indus Basin is very important for hydrocarbon exploration because it is the main producing oil and gas basin of Pakistan. Khipro is located in the Thar platform area of Southern Indus Basin. The Khipro area is characterized by a series of horst and graben structures present almost below the base Paleocene unconformity within the Cretaceous. The geographical co-ordinates of the area are listed: Latitude 25 ̊20'N to 26 ̊30'N. How to cite this paper: Khan, M.S. and Bibi, Z.
