Abstract

Potwar Basin is one of the hydrocarbon prolific basins but pertains complex deformational style. Maximum production has been taken from Paleocene and Eocene carbonates but deeper reservoirs like Cambrian (Khewra sandstone) and Permian (Tobra formation) are also well producing. Geology of the Northern Potwar deformed zone (NPDZ) is mainly controlled by Pre-Cambrian salt, gently dipping basement and its warp. As we move towards south, salt thickness decreases near the axis of Soan syncline, north of Dhurnal structure. Eastern part of NPDZ is buried one while an emergent fold and thrust front (fault propagating fold) in the western part of NPDZ. Eastern NPDZ has duplex structure with initiation of roof thrust from the Murree Formation and sole thrust from Pre-Cambrian salt. The Southern Potwar platform zone (SPPZ) is less disturbed in comparison with NPDZ in which Pre-Cambrian salt acts as a decollement/lubricating surface over which the Cambrian to Pliocene sequence slides as a single thrust sheet. Due to the combined effect of thick overburden of ~3‒5 km and the decollement, folding and thrusting is significant in the Potwar Basin. In the eastern SPPZ, pop-up and fault propagating folds are prominent while in the western SPPZ, triangular zones, pop-up or detachment folds are significant.

巴基斯坦西北喜马拉雅山北波特瓦变形带与南波特瓦地台带的结构对比分析
摘要 波特瓦尔盆地是油气资源丰富的盆地之一,但具有复杂的变形风格。产量最大的是古新世和始新世碳酸盐岩,但寒武纪(Khewra 砂岩)和二叠纪(Tobra 地层)等更深的储层也有很好的产量。北波特瓦变形带(NPDZ)的地质主要受前寒武纪盐、缓倾基底及其翘曲的控制。随着地层向南移动,盐的厚度在索安斜轴线附近、杜纳尔构造以北逐渐减小。北大西洋褶皱带东部为埋藏型褶皱带,西部为新兴褶皱和推力前沿(断层扩展型褶皱)。北大西洋褶皱带东部具有双重构造,顶部推力来自穆尔里地层,唯一推力来自前寒武纪盐。南波特瓦地台区(SPPZ)与北波特瓦地台区相比受到的扰动较小,其中前寒武纪盐起到了解理/润滑表面的作用,寒武纪至上新世的岩层在其上滑动,形成单一的推力片。由于厚达约3-5千米的覆盖层和解理的共同作用,波特瓦尔盆地的褶皱和推覆作用十分显著。在波特瓦尔盆地东部,隆起褶皱和断层扩展褶皱十分明显,而在波特瓦尔盆地西部,三角带、隆起褶皱或剥离褶皱则十分明显。
