Abstract

Miano gas field is one of the prominent gas-producing fields of the Middle Indus Basin, SW Pakistan. The Lower Goru is the distinct reservoir that is producing hydrocarbons for the last two decades. This study attempts to characterize the Goru reservoir using preliminary seismic interpretation to the 2D seismic profiles of the Miano gas field Pakistan. The velocity models confirm the presence of possible hydrocarbon bearing sands within the reservoir interval of interest. The Iso-pach map of the Lower Goru coincides with the identified low velocity zones. The massive clean sands are identified on the NE and the SE flanks within the reservoir zone. The well correlation show the maximum sand thickness near the well 02, suggesting the possible locations for the future oil and gas explorations.
