Abstract

The Research work comprises area of Punjab Platform, Sulaiman Foredeep and Eastern Part of Sulaiman Fold Belt (from east to west), which is further extended to Zamzama and Dadu area of Lower Indus Basin. Seismic data interpretation suggests a presence of a stratigraphic trap of Paleocene/Late Cretaceous age. It can act as a stratigraphic trap of reservoir quality for hydrocarbons. This feature is marked and discussed on various seismic sections. Sometimes it is difficult to locate this feature due to effect of folding, resulting from later compressions associated with a collision of Indian Plate. This structure could be explored for a hydrocarbon prospect in future. Such stratigraphic traps were not explored in the past.

Highlights

  • Seismic lines are provided by Directorate General of Petroleum Concessions (DGPC) and Landmark Resources (LMKR)

  • This study is beneficial in various relevant fields such as Petroleum geology, Sedimentology, Seismic Stratigraphy, Structural geology, Tectonics, Geodynamics and Basin analysis for researchers and industries

  • There is a presence of Stratigraphic Trap of Paleocene age in the research area

Summary

Introduction

Seismic lines are provided by DGPC and LMKR. The study of seismic profiles of length approximately 3500 km is done with the help of Well data, Formations’ tops, Synthetics and General stratigraphy of area. Structural and stratigraphical interpretation of seismic data is performed in detail. This is a first attempt in the research area which has ever been done before. This area is scarcely investigated in past. None of the previous work has mentioned this feature. This study is beneficial in various relevant fields such as Petroleum geology, Sedimentology, Seismic Stratigraphy, Structural geology, Tectonics, Geodynamics and Basin analysis for researchers and industries
