Integration of seismic and well data for a 3D model of the Balkassar anticline (Potwar sub-basin, Pakistan)

The Potwar sub-basin is an important hydrocarbon producing zone of the Upper Indus basin and has significant oil gas potential. Balkassar area main field mainly produced from Eocene carbonates. Chorgali Formation age reservoir rock in this area. Structurally, complicated, surface features often do not reflect subsurface structures. This due to presence detachments at different levels. In such cases, it necessary integrate seismic data with geological information for accurate delineation Eleven profiles were interpreted understand structural style. To correlate well data, a synthetic seismogram been generated. Time, velocity depth contour maps have prepared. A 3D model prepared which confirms that four-way anticlinal structure bounded by faults. It makes more favorable accumulation. Moreover, cross section five wells show spreading. Based on it, relationship between compressional tectonics basement slope, case study, anticline was as closure pop-up provides trap accumulation hydrocarbons. study will help us hydrocarbons same type traps similar kinds basins. also relevant exploration within Pakistan.
