Integration of Seismic and Well Log Data for Detailed Reservoir Characterization of Badin Area, Southern Sindh Monocline

Abstract

Badin area is a common example of extensional tectonics represented by Horst & Graben structures. In order to carry out the structural and stratigraphic interpretation of the Badin area, two seismic lines are interpreted. Two way time and depth mapping helped in delineated the structural trend and understanding the tectonics of the area. Subsurface mapping reveals that major fault trend is NE-SW. There are indications of reactivation of faults indicating the occurrence of various tectonic periods. Existing structural trend of the area provides basic components of a prolific petroleum system. One D modeling is done for the Jabo-Ol well and zone of interest is the Lower Goru. Porosity calculations are made to find out the hydrocarbon saturation .The main constituents of petroleum system are present, proven by a number oil and gas discoveries but there is still a requirement of advance techniques to improve seismic resolution and quality of interpretation.
