Title: Subsurface Petrographic Study of Joints in Variegated Siltstone-Sandstone and Khairabad Limestone, Pakistan: GEOLOGIC NOTES

Author(s): S. M. Shuaib (2)

Abstract:

Petrographic methods for the determination of joint parameters such as volume density of joints, and joint porosity and permeability have been applied to selected core samples from the Nuryal 1 well drilled in the Potwar region of West Pakistan.

Joint porosity and permeability data from Jurassic variegated siltstone-sandstone and Paleocene Khairabad Limestone from selected core sections of the Nuryal 1 well at depths between 4,662 and 4,751 m indicate the presence of fairly effective reservoir potential in Jurassic variegated siltstone-sandstone and effective reservoir beds in the Paleocene Khairabad Limestone.
