Pishin Basin: Status and Prospects

Abstract

  Eased on the available surface geological, landsat imagery and aeromagnetic data, Plshin basin is categorized as a Median basin. The known sedimentary sequence in the basin dates back to Eocene and is dominated by flysch type clastics. The structures on the surface seem complicated. The thickness and lithological composition of the sedimentary fill and reporting of an oil seepage indicate some potential for the occurrence of hydrocarbons in the basin.
