Pakistan has unventured regions, untested plays
- International Consultants, Riyadh (Saudi Arabia)
Quantitative numerical models for integrating known geological, geophysical, and geochemical processes, including 3D basin simulation and visualization, are important innovations that are helping to reduce the cost of exploration. It is unfortunate that against this background, in Pakistan there still exist some unventured sedimentary basins and untested plays. This article discusses in some detail one of the unventured regions, the Peshawar basin, and an untested play area, the Punjab platform zone. The intermontane Peshawar basin lies immediately north of Potwar-Kohat basin, the latter the site of several oilfields. Source rocks for gas, condensate, and possibly oil exist in the Sulaiman Range located in the Punjab zone.
