Conventionally, AVO/AVA method is widely being used for reservoir characterization process on the assumption of isotropic (earth) medium. Seismic anisotropy is considered to produce first order effect upon the amplitudes of seismic wave, but this effect is often ignored during AVA studies for ease of processing, which may give unrealistic reservoir characterization results. The principal objective in this research work is to estimate the seismic anisotropy of a composite sand shale reservoir and incorporate it into AVA studies for accurate and improved reservoir charterization. A further aim of this work is to give complete workflow for the charaterziation of such reservoirs and its application to the real data from a gas prone field in Pakistan. The main elements of AVA based reservoir characterization of composite sand shale anisotropic medium include forward (rock physics and seismic modelling) and inverse modelling (recovering the spatial distribution of crucial reservoir properties). An anistropic composite sand shale medium can be characterized by five independent elastic constants either in the form of stiffness constants or two vertical velocities and three anisotropy coefficients. These five elastic constants for dry porous media has been estimated using anistropic effective medium theory in the contaxt of rock physics modelling. The input to rock physics modelling is obtained via petrophysical analysis of available wireline log data. The effective elastic constants obtained from rock physics modelling for composite sand shale medium is used for seismic AVA modelling of composite sand shale anisotropic medium in the form of angle-dependent refelection coefficients and/or seismic AVA data by using approximate and exact PP- reflection coefficients solution. During seismic inversion phase of reservoir characterization process, Bayesian inversion approach has been adapted to recover/invert the important reservoir parameters (porosity, volume of shale and water saturation) from AVA data and to carry out uncertainty analysis associated with these estimates. Our AVA modelling and analysis results on Sawan area under isotropic conditions show that seismic AVA modelling provides a strong relationship between porosity and reflection amplitude for all offset (or incident angle) ranges. From fluid saturation variation modelling it is evident that changes in water saturation do not change the AVA effect significantly which is further substantiated by investigation of CDP gathers. The seismic AVA modelling for different porosity/saturation values suggest that AVA analysis is prone to find porous sands rather than gas saturated sands. The same is shown by AVA crossplot between intercept and gradient which point out high porosity zones rather than high gas saturations. The results from our complete workflow applied on composite sand shale medium (in which shale is present in the form of lenses creating anisotropy) suggest that one can recover Vshale even at higher amount of uncertainty in AVA data, as the peak for marginal distribution lies mostly around the true value. For small amount of uncertainty in AVA data, our workflow gives reliable estimates for Sw, but as the noise increases in AVA data, it becomes difficult to recover Sw. The results from application of our workflow on C-sand reservoir of Sawan area (shale is present in the form of layers creating anisotropy) show that anisotropy effects are more pronounced in stratigraphic intervals where interbedded shales are relatively thick within reservoir sand (Sawan-06 well).The exact solution for VTI media provided by Daley and Horn’s (1977) is one with the highest potential for performing AVA inversion in sand shale composite medium with weak to strong anisotropy. We have demonstrated this fact by completing a numerical synthetic experiment for recovering porosity distributions through the Lower Goru C-sand reservoir.

حافظ محمد ابراہیم
افسوس ہے جنوری کے تیسرے ہفتہ میں حافظ محمد ابراہیم صاحب ایک طویل علالت کے دہلی میں وفات پاگئے۔ نماز جنازہ شاہ جہانی جامع مسجد میں پڑھی گئی اوراس کے بعد تدفین نگینہ میں ہوئی۔انتقال کے وقت عمر ۷۷۔ ۷۸ برس کی ہوگی۔ مرحوم علی گڑھ کی پرانی نسل کے ایک فرد تھے۔یہیں فلسفہ اور اقتصادیات کے مضامین کے ساتھ بی۔اے اورپھرایل۔ایل۔بی کیا۔اپنی ذہانت،طباعی اور لیاقت کے باعث اساتذہ اورطلباء میں ہمیشہ نیک نام اورہر دل عزیز رہے۔ دیوبند کے مکتبۂ فکر کے زیر اثر قوم پرورانہ خیالات اور جذبات شروع سے رکھتے تھے۔ چنانچہ جن لوگوں نے مرحوم کا عہد طالب علمی دیکھاہے ان کابیان ہے کہ مرحوم اس زمانہ میں بھی سرسید کے سیاسی افکار کے مخالف تھے اور اس پر اپنے ساتھیوں سے محبت کرتے تھے۔علی گڑھ سے فراغت کے بعد اپنے وطن نگینہ میں پریکٹس شروع کی اورایڈوکیٹ کی حیثیت سے بہت جلد صوبہ بھر میں مشہور ہوگئے لیکن نیشنلسٹ فطرتاًتھے۔اس لیے تحریک موالات شروع ہوئی تواُس میں بڑھ چڑھ کرحصہ لیااورپھر جنگ آزادی کادورآیا توہمیشہ اُس کے ہراوّل دستہ میں رہے۔اس سلسلہ میں جیل گئے اوردوسری پریشانیاں بھی اٹھائیں لیکن پائے ثبات میں لغزش نہ ہوئی۔ پھر جب قومی وزارتوں کا عہد شروع ہوا تو پہلے اتر پردیش میں اور پھر مرکز میں وزیر رہے، آخر میں پنجاب کے گورنر تھے۔ بیماری کے باعث اس سے مستعفی ہوکرگھر آ بیٹھے تھے اوریہی بیماری آخرجان لیوا ثابت ہوئی۔ نہایت خوش خلق، مہمان نواز اور فیاض و سیرچشم تھے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ مغفرت ورحمت کی نعمتوں سے سرفرازفرمائے۔آمین [فروری۱۹۶۸ء]

 

سیرت نبوی کی روشنی میں بغاوت (خروج) سے متعلق احکامات کا تحقیقی جائزہ

Islam orders to obey the ruler and not to indulge in activities that may cause disruption & instability of an Islamic state. This research discusses rules & regulations based on sīrah about rebellion (khurūj), and relevant topics from Islamic Jurisprudence. The basic question of this research is whether revolt against the ruler is permissible and what would be the punishment? This research elaborates four types of rebellion. Rulings of Muslim scholars regarding rebellion are subjected to the different positions of rulers. According to all school of thoughts the khurūj is not permitted if the ruler is lawful and serving his community with justice. In contrary, there is difference of opinions about the tyrannous and iniquitous ruler. This article concluded that majority of Muslim Scholars do not permit khurūj in any case, some others laid down very strict conditions in this regard.

Studies on Biochemical and Hematological Parameters in Workers of Iron and Steel Industries Exposed to Heat Stress

In the present work, 203 iron and steel industrial units located in and around Lahore were surveyed to gather information regarding physical parameters, processes involved, product types, raw materials used, fuel types, mode of employment, working conditions and use of PPEs in these units. General health and socio-economic status, disease history and anthropometric measurements of 656 workers from different work points were measured. Total serum proteins, albumin, ALT, AST and ALP were photometrically analyzed. Haematological parameters i.e., TLC, DLC, RBC, Hgb, Hct%, MCV, MCH, MCHC and platelet counts were made on automated haematology analyzer. Data was statistically analyzed on the basis of work points, job duration and worker’s age using ANOVA and students t-test at SPSS 13.0 version. Survey results revealed that the working conditions in these units are not satisfactory. Workers are exposed to variety of hazards. Socio-economic status of the workers also portrayed a dismal condition. Biochemical analysis showed general trend of increased concentration of total serum proteins, albumin and globulins, suggesting dehydration and non-specific infections as probable cause. Old workers working at comparatively higher temperature point showed more evident changes in total protein contents as compared to the young workers at the same points. ALT and AST, although within normal reference range, were evidently towards the higher limits in almost all categories of the workers. Younger and oldest workers with shortest and longest job duration presented higher value for ALT and AST as compared to the middle aged workers and with medium job duration. ALP is found significantly higher in all categories of workers depicting the obvious response to environmental stress. Physical activity along with the temperature appeared to be the contributory to enhance ALP activity. Although the haematological parameters did not show any direct correlation with the job duration or worker’s age but increased WBCs in circulation along with the complementary increase in lymphocytes number reflects the elicitation of immune response in these subjects. Hemoglobin, RBCs, Hct%, MCV, MCH, MCHC and platelets are found to show alteration, in general indicating a stress on the hematopoietic system to cope with the stress of hypoxic conditions and enhanced demand of energy due to heavy physical exertion. The results suggest that work point temperature along with heavy physical activity probably causes effects on liver physiology and also the hematopoietic system as apart of compensatory response. The results suggest more detailed studies with reference to heat stress and protein profile with special emphasis of the role of Hsps. Along with the detailed haematological investigations; studies on liver and kidney physiology are also recommended to understand the effect on hormones and electrolytes under hyperthermic conditions. Strict monitoring and enforcement of rules for the workers health and safety are strongly recommended.
