2D Seismic Interpretation of the Meyal Area, Northern Potwar Deform Zone, Potwar Basin, Pakistan TEXT SIZE: A A A
Meyal Field is considered as one of the chief hydrocarbon producing fields in the Potwar Basin, Pakistan. The present research emphasize on the subsurface structures affecting the Mesozoic-Cenozoic successions exclusively foremost reservoir units comprising the Eocene Chor Gali and Sakesar formations. Data from six seismic lines and three wells (aligned with those lines) have been deliberated comprehensively with remarkable and tremendous calibration. Five prominent and imperative reflectors specifically the Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Paleocene and Eocene successions were interpreted through seismic tactics. Time structure maps were equipped on the basis of two-way travel time (TWT) of the seismic line. Likewise, four isopach maps portrayed the thickness discrepancy of prospective hydrocarbon strata. Structurally, analytical section reveals that the Meyal anticline is a plunging and faulted anticline. The pop-up structure is constrained by back-thrust from the north and fore-thrust from the south, on the dip lines. These maps depicted potential reservoir, demarcate promising site for future hydrocarbon exploration.
