Presenting seismic stratigraphy and attribute analysis as pioneer techniques for delineation of reservoir quality sand bodies in the Indus Offshore Basin, southwest Pakistan

摘要

On the basis of a detailed study in the South West Indus Offshore Basin, and considering the favorable TOC values in the PakCan-01 well, it is clear that a promising petroleum play does exist in the Miocene sediments and past exploration disappointments are not due to their absence.rnWell PakCan-01 contained gas but not in commercial quantities. It is believed that the gas in the prograding deltaic sands might have escaped along the fault plane during erosion. High-quality TOC values in PakCan-01 and incised features in the vicinity of the well led us to suggest that organic matter as well as reservoir quality sands were transported down the slope as fans.
