3D Seismic Imaging over Two Structurally Complex Surveys in the Foothills of Pakistan

Abstract

The structural geology map, shown in Figure 2, shows the surface expressions of the major structures over the TAL Block (Lorincz et al., 2008). Multiple episodes of deformation under different tectonic stress regimes have led to subsurface complexity and substantial variation in topographic relief. Exploration Block TAL is covered by Eocene to Pliocene sediments at outcrop, underlain by Mesozoic-Palaeocene sequences similar to those that crop out to the north. To the south, Palaeogene, Miocene, and Pliocene sediments have been thrusted over Pleistocene sediments along the Karak and Bandarbarra overthrusts. The Bannu Depression lies to the west and the Potwar Depression to the east. The southern parts of the Potwar Basin and the Kohat Plateau,
