Review of Neoproterozoic (1000-542 Ma) rocks in Pakistan as a petroleum system, penetrated by ~40 wells. Exposed along the outer Salt Range and Nagar Parkar and in the Kirana Hills; the Punjab Platform Neoproterozoic differs from the Potwar, implying a palaeo-high barrier. Cryogenian snowball-Earth glacial Pokhran boulder beds occur in the Hazara Basin; Proterozoic stromatolites are widespread. Argues the Neoproterozoic offers a complete, under-explored petroleum system.

- Geological significance: Jamil & Sheikh (2012): the Hazara Basin contains glacial Pokhran-type boulder beds recording Cryogenian 'snowball Earth' glaciation, correlated with Neoproterozoic glacial facies across the India–Pakistan border and worldwide. Pogue et al. (1999) treat the Hazara (Dakhner) Formation and its metamorphosed equivalents as the basal unit of the Himalayan-foothills succession south of the MMT.
-
- Geological significance: Jamil & Sheikh (2012): the low-grade Neoproterozoic metasediments of the Kirana Hills, together with the Salt Range Formation, are among the exposed Neoproterozoic rocks of the Punjab Platform being re-evaluated for hydrocarbon-reservoir potential; the Punjab-Platform Neoproterozoic appears separated from that of the Potwar by a palaeo-high, and correlates with outcrops in Rajasthan (India).
-
- Economic importance: Jamil & Sheikh (2012): beyond its rock-salt and gypsum resources, the Eocambrian/Neoproterozoic Salt Range Formation and correlative Punjab-Platform/Potwar strata are an under-explored hydrocarbon play — Neoproterozoic rocks have been penetrated by ~40 wells in Pakistan and are argued to offer a complete petroleum system (source, reservoir and seal), by analogy with the productive Infracambrian of Oman and the Lena–Tunguska province.
