Reserves), Ground water retardation zones and Economic mineral reserves exists.
Geophysics is an exploration science, each branch of Geophysics plays
significance role in our daily life, in the country economy and ecosystem of the
earth. Geophysics has Eight major exploration branches i.e. Seismology (Study of
Earthquake), Seismic Exploration Technique (Used for Oil and Gas Exploration),
Electrical Resistivity Exploration Technique (Used for Ground Water Exploration)
And for Mineral exploration purposes Gravity, Magnetic, Spontaneous Potential,
Induced Potential and Radiometric Exploration Techniques are used.
The department of Seismology and Geophysical Studies is offering BS-4 Year
program in Geophysics. Seismology and Geophysical studies Department has a
well-established computer lab, a Departmental Library with advance study books
and a Geophysical Lab with new and latest Geophysical surveys instruments. The
Department has close coordination with Oil and Gas Exploration and Production
Companies (Balochistan Energy Company Limited (BECL), Oil and Gas Development
Company limited (OGDCL) and Pakistan petroleum limited (PPL)), Water Exploration
Companies, Mineral Exploration Companies (Balochistan Mineral Exploration
Company) and Hydrocarbon Development Institute of Pakistan (HDDIP). Internship
opportunities are provided to students after sixth semester in different energy
and power sectors.
