Structure and Evolution of the Dhurnal Oil Field, Northern Potwar Deformed ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Tariq Majeed Jaswal for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on March 14, 1990. Title: Structure and Evolution of the Dhurnal Oil Field, Northern Potwar Deformed Zone, Pakistan. Abstract approved: Robert J. Lillie The North Potwar Deformed Zone (NPDZ) is part of the active foreland fold- and-thrust belt of the Salt Range and Potwar Plateau (SR/PP) in northern Pakistan. About 500 km of seismic reflection profiles are integrated with surface geologic and drilling data to examine the structure of the NPDZ, in general, and the history of deformation of the Dhurnal oil field, in particular. The seismic lines suggest that the overall structure of the eastern NPDZ is a duplex structure developed beneath a passive roof thrust. The roof thrust is generated from a tipline in the Murree Formation of Miocene age, while the sole thrust is initiated from the same Eocambrian evaporite zone that extends 80 km southward beneath the Soan syncline and Salt Range. The Dhurnal oil field structure is a pop-up at the southern margin of the NPDZ, developed beneath the passive roof thrust. The passive roof thrust crops out just north of Dhurnal on the steep, northern limb of the Soan syncline. An overstep passive roof thrust (Sakhwal fault) is interpreted west of Dhurnal, which developed due to southward progression of the deformation front beneath the earlier passive roof thrust. Very gentle basement dip and almost zero topographic slope in the NPDZ suggest that the Eocambrian salt provides effective decoupling at the present position of the NPDZ. The strong deformation in the NPDZ appears to have developed farther north, in an area where the evaporites may be lacking. Since 2 Ma the NPDZ moved farther south over the evaporites without any further deformation, while erosion removed any former topographic slope. Restoring a balanced cross-section suggests the minimum shortening across the NPDZ is about 69 km. Assuming that this shortening occurred in the time interval from 5.1 to 2.0 Ma, the shortening rate is 22 mm/yr. This is about 50% of the 40-50 mm/yr convergence rate of the Eurasian and Indian plates.

In the Himalayan foreland of Pakistan, thin-skinned tectonic features are developing in the Salt Range and Potwar Plateau (SR/PP) as a wedge of sediments is being contracted and thrusted southward along a decollement in Eocambrian evaporite beds (Fig. 2). The Dhurnal oil field structure is a product of this ongoing collision, located at the leading edge of an old deformation front in the Northern Potwar Deformed Zone (NPDZ; Fig. 3). For the last ten years, the Geology Department of Oregon State University (OSU) has been involved in detailed studies of the foreland fold-and-thrust belts of Pakistan. About 3000 km of older industry seismic reflection profiles of the SR/PP were provided to OSU by the Oil and Gas Development Corporation (OGDC) and the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources of Pakistan. These data, along with surface geologic, drilling and gravity data, were used to construct balanced cross- sections of the western, central and eastern SR/PP (Leathers, 1987; Baker, 1987; Pennock, 1988; Fig. 2). The same data set was used by Jaume (1986) to study the mechanics of thrusting in the SR/PP, and by Duroy (1986) to analyze lithospheric flexure in the Himalayas of Pakistan. Detailed reports based on integration of these surface and subsurface data (Khan et al., 1986; Lillie et al.,1987; Baker et al., 1988; Jaume and Lillie, 1988; Pennock et al., 1989; Duroy et al., 1989) have shed light on 2 Figure 1.

Newer seismic profiles in and around the Dhurnal oil field, drilling logs of Dhurnal wells and surface geologic data were provided for this study by Occidental of Pakistan, Inc. (OXY). Pakistan Oil Fields, Ltd. (POL) also released two recently recorded seismic lines from their eastern Khushal Garh concession (Fig. 4). Surface geologic maps on 1: 50,(X)0 scale provided by OXY and OGDC, along with new measurements of structural attitudes as part of this thesis, provided important surface constraints on interpreting the subsurface structure. The NPDZ can be divided into two parts.

  • Archaeological Potential of Capital of Pakistan-Islamabad and Pioneer Archaeological Excavation in Islamabad (Buddhist Stupa-Ban Faqiran)
    Journal of the Punjab University Historical Society Volume No. 31, Issue No. 1, January - June 2018 Shahbaz Ahmad Bhatti * Abdul Ghaffar Loan** Muhammad Amir*** Archaeological potential of Capital of Pakistan-Islamabad and pioneer Archaeological Excavation in Islamabad (Buddhist Stupa-Ban Faqiran) Abstract: Modern city of Islamabad is one of the oldest living inhabitants in the world. Islamabad has the complete sequence and archaeological findings of Stone Age life showing a continuity of man in this region from the early Stone Age. Geographically, Islamabad remained the natural bearer and defensive zone of Rawalpindi against north western boarders and invaders. Buddhist site of Ban Faqiran, is the oldest historical monument discovered in Islamabad. Archaeological remains of Ban Faqiran and the oldest mosque in Islamabad are perched atop on Margalla hills. Federal Department of Archaeology and museums carried out a comprehensive and fruitful excavation at the site and exposed the buried cultural heritage of Buddhist era and a mosque of Muslim dynasty. Besides structural remains, rare copper coins, iron arrow heads and pot shreds discovered.1 Introduction of the Site Archaeological complex of Ban Faqiran, Islamabad, is at the crossed roads on one of the ancient routes, connecting the Taxila Valley with the Pothohar plateau through natural passage formed by hill torrents of Margalla mighty hills. 2 The remains of Ban Faqiran Site are situated in the Western edge of Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. The given name, “Ban Faqiran” is derived from local vernacular; “ban” (reservoir) and “faqiran” (saints). Ban Faqiran stands for a reservoir dedicated to saints. Average height of the site from sea level is 850 meters.

    Morphological and hydrological responses of Soan and Khad rivers 269 MORPHOLOGICAL AND HYDROLOGICAL RESPONSES OF SOAN AND KHAD RIVERS TO IMPERVIOUS LAND USE IN DISTRICT MURREE, PAKISTAN Fida Hussain, Abdul Khaliq, M. Irfan Ashraf, Irshad A. Khan* ABSTRACT The study was conducted during 2005 to 2009 in District Muree, Pakistan. Rapid degradation of watersheds due to soil erosion, deforestation, urbanization is the critical issue in high hill areas. Housing and infrastructure development, being the top priority of government is also impacting the health of watersheds; resultantly our dams are losing their capacity due to increased sedimentation. The study aimed at assessing the current magnitude and distribution of development in two important watersheds of Punjab. The assessment was carried out by correlating infrastructure development with soil erosion and regime of water in the channels. Impervious land use in Simly watershed is increasing at a pace of 1.91 % per year and presently it is 13.23 % of the total area. It has also been determined that at current pace of development, 16.84 % of the area in Simly will be under impervious land use by 2020. Based on the land use of the area, different channels in Simly stream system were categorized into urbanizing, agriculture and forest and main channel. The study revealed that the soil erosion is more in areas under impervious land use or where the land is disturbed due to developmental activities. The sediment load in different categories of channels was studied. It was found that sediment load in the urbanizing water channel was highest (26.03 g/l) followed by agriculture (8.86 g/l), and forest was the least (1.73 g/l) contributor of sediment in the channels.

CARIAA aims to build the resilience of vulnerable populations and their livelihoods in three climate change hot spots in Africa and Asia. The programme supports collaborative research to inform adaptation policy and practice. HI-AWARE aims to enhance the adaptive capacities and climate resilience of the poor and vulnerable women, men, and children living in the mountains and flood plains of the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra river basins. It seeks to do this through the development of robust evidence to inform people-centred and gender-inclusive climate change adaptation policies and practices for improving livelihoods. The HI-AWARE consortium is led by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD). The other consortium members are the Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies (BCAS), The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), the Climate Change, Alternative Energy, and Water Resources Institute of the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (CAEWRI- PARC) and Wageningen Environmental Research (Alterra).
