Hydrocarbon prospectivity in fold-and-thrust belts remains inherently uncertain due to the combined effects of structural complexity and heterogeneous reservoir properties. The Eastern Potwar region of Pakistan, characterized by imbricate thrust systems, anticlines, and synclines, represents a typical example where conventional approaches often fail to adequately constrain reservoir quality. This study integrates seismic interpretation with rock physics modeling to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of the Missakeswal area. Seismic analysis delineates the structural framework controlling trap development, while rock physics modeling of well log data provides quantitative constraints on litho... More >
