Abstract

The Northern Potwar Deformed Zone (NPDZ) of the frontal Himalayas in northern Pakistan hosts many oil and gas fields located in thrust sheets and associated folds. The presence of fractures in Paleogene carbonates at >3 km target depths with very little or no primary porosity is an essential part of reservoir storage and connectivity. Predicting fracture presence, distribution and orientation is therefore key to successful exploration, appraisal and field development in the NPDZ.

巴基斯坦北部波特瓦尔褶皱带Ratana油田:地震断裂预测揭示的与主要逆冲断层相关的高强度断裂带

巴基斯坦北部喜马拉雅山脉正面的北波特瓦尔变形带（NPDZ）拥有许多位于逆冲片和相关褶皱中的油气田。在目标深度>3km的古近系碳酸盐岩中存在裂缝，初级孔隙度非常小或没有，这是储层储存和连通性的重要组成部分。因此，预测裂缝的存在、分布和方向是开发区成功勘探、评价和油田开发的关键。

期刊介绍： Journal of Petroleum Geology is a quarterly journal devoted to the geology of oil and natural gas. Editorial preference is given to original papers on oilfield regions of the world outside North America and on topics of general application in petroleum exploration and development operations, including geochemical and geophysical studies, basin modelling and reservoir evaluation.
