ABSTRACT
Safed-koh Trend is located in D.G.Khan district, Punjab province, Pakistan. It is a north south trending fold belt that lies in Eastern Part of Sulaiman Fold Belt. Seismic data correlation is done with the help of well data, Formations鈥� tops, Synthetics and general stratigraphy of the area. The Structural and Stratigraphical interpretation shows subsurface variations. Depth model shows Dhodak, Rodho, Afiband and Zindapir anticlines, the four culminations of Safed-Koh Trend without marking the faults. Dhodak is a northern lower most culmination. Zindapir is the most uplifted one and broader structure comparatively that lies at southern edge. 3D subsurface Time & Depth models of Rubbly Limestone, Dunghan Formation, Pab Sandstone, Lower Goru Formation and Chiltan Limestone map Dhodak anticlinal structure with reverse faults at its flanks. Dunghan, Ranikot, Pab and Chiltan Formations in this area have already proved to be good quality reservoirs for gas. Pab Sandstone and sands of Lower Goru Formation of Cretaceous and Chilton Limestone of Jurassic age could also be the important reservoirs in unexplored area. Rock Physics analysis of Chilton Formation confirms the hydrocarbon potential.
