2-Dimensional Seismic Interpretation of Reflection Data and Estimation of Rock Physics & Engineering Properties of Lines 96-PW-06, 884-FMK-106

Abstract

FimKassar area is part of Potwar sub-basin of Upper Indus basin which is known for its hydrocarbon structural traps. The work is carried out on 2 seismic lines 96PW-06 and 884-FMK-106, additionally the data of seven other lines was also used for interpretation which was carried out using licensed software. The integrated study involves; structural interpretation of seismic data, velocity processing and model building, time to depth conversion & generation of true depth section, 2-D seismic modeling, petrophysical analysis, and well correlation are calculated to investigate the nature and type of sub-surface material present in our study area. The horizons were identified using formation tops from wells and their depths were confirmed. Crustal shortening analysis has also been carried out on the depth section which indicates a compressional regime. Time and depth contour maps of the horizons of interest have been generated to understand the variation across the study area
