Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the SPE/PAPG Annual Technical Conference (ATC) Pakistan 2013, its sponsoring organizations and Technical Program Committee, we encourage you to submit a paper presenting your integrated solutions for Pakistans E&P sector. SPE/PAPG Annual Technical Conferences-Pakistan have a legacy of more than fourteen years of bringing together professional from engineering, geosciences, commercial and legal fields related to the global E&P industry in general and Pakistans E&P industry in particular. ATC-2013 has become all the more important because of acute Energy Crisis in Pakistan and the need to devise an all encompassing strategy including technical, commercial and legal dimensions to overcome it. Availability of energy at reasonable cost is the key for the development and future progress of Pakistan. Please submit your paper by e-mailing at ATC2013@ppl.com.pk. Schedule and guidelines for Abstract and Paper submission is attached below. Last date for submitting the abstracts is 15th June 2013. If selected: (1) Your paper will be included in the conference proceedings, (2) Your paper may be published in leading online libraries such as One Petro and AAPG Data Pages.

Sincerely Dr. Fareed Iqbal Siddiqui, Ph D Member SPE-AAPG Chairman Technical Program Committee ATC 2013

PRE REQUISITES
1. The proposed paper must have necessary clearance before submission. Any problems concerning clearance should be outlined when the proposed paper is submitted 2. The proposed paper must be written in English

Title / Commercialism:
Enter a title that is concise, yet descriptive of the primary content and application of the proposed paper. ATC has a stated policy against use of commercial trade names, company names, or language that is commercial in tone in the paper title, text or slides. Use of such terms will result in careful scrutiny by the Program Committee in evaluating abstracts, and the presence of commercialism in the paper or poster may result in it being withdrawn from the program.

Abstract Content:
Your paper proposal should contain enough information to allow the Program Committee to make an accurate judgment of the content of your paper and presentation. Paper proposals should be around 300 words, which should be ample if you organize your text along the following lines. DESCRIPTION OF THE P APER: Outline the scope and nature of the work upon which the paper is based (e.g., field data, Laboratory data, original analysis, or computer work). If the paper is a review paper, make the extent of coverage clear. APPLICATIONS : Describe the possible applications of the knowledge provided in the paper. RESULTS, OBSERVATIONS , AND CONCLUSIONS : Summarize the results and major conclusions to be presented in the paper and state how these differ from previous work on the same subject. State whether new information will be revealed and whether data from field, laboratory, or computer will be included. TECHNICAL CONTRIBUTIONS : Describe the significance of the proposed paper by listing up to three technical contributions or additions to the technical knowledge base of the petroleum industry.

Technical Categories:
Use the technical categories included in this leaflet to indicate the category that best describes your abstract. A primary choice is required; however, a secondary choice is optional. Abstracts are evaluated on the basis of the information supplied on the abstract form in accordance with the following criteria: 1. The proposed paper or poster must contribute to the body of science and technology applied to E&P sector. It should be of immediate interest to the oil and gas industry, and should contain significant new knowledge or experience in the oil and gas industry. 2. Data in the abstract must be technically correct. 3. The proposed paper should avoid undue commercialism and extensive use of trade names. 4. The substance of the proposed paper or poster must not have been published previously in trade journals or in other professional or technical journals. 5. Student submissions are encouraged for all themes. SPE Topics (Please highlight only one) Drilling

SPECIMEN APPLICATION OF 2D BASIN MODELING FOR EVALUATION OF PETROLEUM POTENTIAL OF OUTER PART OF HAZARA-KASHMIR SYNTAXIS, SUB-HIMALAYAS Pakistan Petroleum Limited, Karachi Email: s_asif@ppl.com.pk (corresponding author only) Syed Asif Ahsan, Abid H. Baitu, M. Mudasar Saqab ABSTRACT One of the most logical ways to understand risk in frontier hydrocarbon exploration is to assess presence of effective source rock and hydrocarbon volume generated and expelled in an area. In addition to understanding these phenomena, basin modeling can address key questions related to maturation timing, transformation, migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons by considering geologically plausible range of thermal and geochemical parameters. Understanding thus gained may help to identify critical risk elements in a petroleum system context, which in turn, can provide proper risk mitigation measures. Outer part of Hazara-Kashmir-Syntaxis (HKS) has been selected for hydrocarbon prospectivity evaluation as it is still unexplored and located just to the east of prolific Potwar Basin (Pakistan). Literature review suggests presence of similar structural framework and Paleogene stratigraphy in HKS as that of Potwar Basin where PaleoceneEocene petroleum system is producing oil and gas from a number of fields e.g., Pindori and Balkassar. In this study, 2D basin modeling was performed by considering different geochemical and thermal parameters appropriate to the geological setting of HKS area along a structural cross-section prepared by using existing geological maps and relevant subsurface information gained from Potwar Basin well data. The results of the study are intriguing from an exploration standpoint and suggest hydrocarbon generation, expulsion and migration from Paleocene Patala source rock during Neogene time. A Pliocene migration event is recognized as being synchronous with major structuration in the area, which is conducive for hydrocarbon accumulation in Eocene carbonate reservoirs. Results of the study support presence and validity of working of Paleocene-Eocene petroleum system in outer part of HKS.
