Integrated geophysical analysis of the Sembar Formation, Central Indus Basin, as an unconventional resource

The ever-increasing demand for new energy sources witnessed at present is leading to a shortage of oil and gas resources throughout the world. At same time, polluting such as coal are being gradually replaced by gas, fuel types electricity produced renewable methods. Unconventional shale reserves, relying on presence substantial volumes good quality, thermally mature organic matter, therefore crucial in shaping economic future multiple regions Using seismic reflection data estimate Total Organic Carbon ( TOC ) underexplored Sembar Formation Qadirpur Area, Central Indus Basin, this study investigates potential unconventional resource Pakistan. We based well-log using Passey's Δ Log R, Schmoker's, Schwarzkopf's In second stage, thermal maturity modelling was carried out formations encountered Well Deep-01, while focusing primarily Formation. Petrophysical petroelastic properties were determined cross-plotted identify zones favourable hydraulic fracturing. results show calculated values ranging from 2 4 wt% methods indicated above, proving that excellent play. Thermal further confirms matter mature. Our spatial distribution indicates particularly lower part formation, which also prone fracturing its evaluation. This presents valid approach characterise source-rock sedimentary basins South Asia around • Reliable units can be obtained wireline log analyses. models indicate hydrocarbon maturation high compaction mineralogy favour meets required criteria exploitation.
