Exercise Activities
5.1: Introduction:
Various exercises and activities were carried throughout this week of the internship, for better
understanding and assimilation of practices in the exploration industry. All of tasks were carried out
under the guidance and supervision of the respective mentors. A number of these activities have been
attached in the annexure at the end of this report. The exercises carried out include the following:

 Stratigraphic Correlation.
 Structural correlation.
 Base map.
 Isopach map Preparation

5.2: Correlation:
From geological point of view correlation is the process of finding similarities and dissimilarities in rock
units. I have done Stratigraphic and structural correlation of different well of lower Indus basin.

The process that stratigraphers use to understand these relationships between strata at different localities
is known as "correlation".

5-3: Stratigraphic Correlation:

The Stratigraphic correlation is the correlation of the Stratigraphic rock layer on the basis of common
formation. In Stratigraphic correlation we correlate the different Stratigraphy of the sedimentary rock
layer of different well of the lower Indus basin I have better understand about the procedure of
correlation. Exercise is attached in the picture form; it will be attached hard copy at the end of final
report.
In the first day of this week I have done structural correlation of different wells of lower Indus basin
include.

5.4: Structural Correlation:

Structural correlation is correlation of rock unit on the basis of mean sea level in the structural
correlation we correlate the above discussed different well of lower Indus basin; I better understand
about the procedure of the structural correlation under the supervision of my mentor, this exercise
activities is attached in the picture format it will be attached hard copy along the final report.

5.5: Preparation of Isopach Map:

A type of map which show the equal thickness of the rock unit, A map indicating usually by means of
contour lines the varying thickness of a designated Stratigraphic unit. Also called Isopach map. I have
done the practical exercise of Isopach map in which I make the Isopach map of sandstone of some well
data. Activity attached in the image form hard copy attached at the end of final report.

5.6: Area Calculation by Using Time Map:

Area is the product of length and width. I have done the practice of area calculation by using base
map/time map. I have calculate Contour line No: -610 by using depth contour map top of Habib Rahi
limestone, activity is attached in the image form it will be attached in hard copy at the end of final
internship report.

5.7: Fault seal analysis:

I have done the practical exercise of fault seal analysis; either fault is seal or non seal. According to the
reference base map of Sujawal Block 2467-11 depth structure map at top B Sand (upper Goru
Formation) scale 1:25,000 is given which conversed into scale 1cm =50m use in the practical work ,after
practical work of fault analysis I have make an Allen diagram of fault seal analysis I have conclude that
B-Sand is seal by Upper Goru Formation which is normal fault , from the result its conclude that fault is
seal .activity is attached in the image form it will be attached at the end of internship report.

5.8: Play fairway maps:

Play fairway analysis refers to a type of map used in exploration in which regional trends in geology that
are relevant to exploring for a particular play are depicted as polygons on a map. The purpose of this
map is to visually suggest the main "fairway(s)" or areas where the specific play is likely to be successful
and additional exploration work at a smaller scale is warranted. A key part of the map is often what
portions of the map are "off fairway" and don't warrant additional exploration. The concept is used in
various types of exploration, including hydrocarbon and geothermal exploration.

INTERNSHIP REPORT__________________________________________________________________________________

Play fairway evaluation (PFE) is a way of mapping the elements of a petroleum play spatially and
using this information to qualify and quantify risks associated with a petroleum play.

Three main elements within a petroleum play are mapped in a holistic way

 Reservoir
 Top Seal (and side/base seal in Stratigraphic trapped plays)
 Source Rock (hydrocarbon charge)

Structural elements mapping is also used to constrain some of these features and define the locations of
different structural features which may form traps

The play fairway is where reservoir, seal and hydrocarbon charge coincide and potential traps located in
this area are more likely to contain hydrocarbons. Areas where any of the reservoir, seal or charge
elements are likely to be absent are highly unlikely to contain hydrocarbons. This technique can
therefore be used to focus exploration efforts on areas that are believed to be more prospective.

Play fairway analysis will also help with consistently risking prospects and leads and managing
exploration portfolios.
