15. Petroleum Plays in the Area
 Source Rock:
In the Dhodak Field the main Source rock is the Sembar Shale of
cretaceous age. Other source rocks which are present in the Lower
Indus Basin are the Ranikot shale, Ghazij shale, Coal and Shale of the
Nari Formation and Moghalkot Formation.
 Reservoir Rock:
Reservoir rock of the area is Pab Sand(Cretaceous) Stone in the
Dhodak Field. Other Reservoir rock are Guru Formation(Lower
Cretaceous), Bara Formation(Middle Paleocene) and Lakki
Limestone Formation (Early Eocene).
 Seal Rock:
Upper Ranikot is the seal rock of the area.

24. TIME AND DEPTH CONTOURS MAP

25. Time Contour Map
 Contouring is “The imaginary line that exhibiting the same
parameter on 2D map such as depth , time, elevation etc.
 Here with the help of time rate contours are created which is that
time of the wave which reflect backs due to the change in density
contrast of the subsurface strata are change in acoustic impedance.
 The Time contours are initiated for every reflectors on map.
 In our research the time contour maps of the three essential
reflectors are on three seismic section are projected on the base
map.

27. Time Contour Map

28. Time Contour Map
The Time Contour Map of Pab Formation.

29. Depth Contour Map
 The depth contour map point out the structures of the area as well as
contributes the overall information’s about the depth along with its
range of precise formation.
 The given up depth contour maps are originated with the help of the
reflection time rates of the seismic lines of the Dhodak area that
containing the GO-795-SK-06, GO-795-SK-11A and GO-805-SK-
19 as point out in the consequential pattern.
 The depth contour contribute us to help in the conception about 3-
Dimensional structure of the peculiar lithology that pointing out its
depth as a surface.

34. Attributes Analysis

35. Introduction to an Attributes
 An Attributes are the essential pieces of information observe within a
recorded seismic trace, frequency, amplitude, time and attenuation is
known as Seismic attributes (Brown, 2001).
 Attributes analysis used for the identification of seismic facies,
depositional environments, bedding indicator, unconformities,
continuity and discontinuity of lithology, hydrocarbon indicator and to
determine the geometry of a buried rock body that is normally be
under the seismic resolution but here the attribute are used for fault
analysis.

40. Conclusion
Seismic Interpretation is mainly done on the basis of the available
information and the stratigraphy of the area.
In my area source rock is Sember Shale, Reservoier rock is Pab
Sandstone while seal rock is Upper Ranikote Shale.
Reflectors are marked and then conformed on the basis of Synthetic
Seismogram which are Dunghan Formation, Lower Ranikot
Formaton and Pab Sandstone.
In Seismic Interpretation Time and Depth contour maps of the all
Formations were generated by using the Kingdom Software.
The Study Area is a Compressional Regime Thrust Faults are
dominated all over the area along with Pop Up Structure.
