Mechanical properties of layered rocks are critical in ensuring wellbore integrity and
predicting natural fracture occurrence for successful reservoir development, particularly in …

Large distance correlation of sedimentary organic rich facies units in Jordan has been
established by means of calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy. Based on a biostratigraphic …

Bitumen-bearing fractures and vugs were investigated in the highly organic-rich Jordan oil
shale (JOS) of Late Cretaceous–Eocene age, which has potential as a highly fractured …

This paper presents new findings that contribute to the understanding of the deformational
style of the Wadi Shueib Structure (WSS) and the Amman-Halabat Structure (AHS) and their …

The study of trace fossils is widely used in facies interpretation. It provides a crucial tool for
reconstructing depositional paleoenvironments when used in combination with other …

The purpose of this study is to better understand the depositional setting of Late Cretaceous
to Early Paleocene oil shales from southeast and central-east Jordan. One core from both …

Sediment petrographic studies combined with carbon and oxygen stable-isotope analyses
are considered to be powerful tools in deciphering the depositional and diagenetic history of …

The northwestern Arabian plate has been long influenced by various processes, including
late Precambrian crustal extension, Paleozoic rifting and ice-sheet loading/unloading, and …

In this study, we use Broad Ion Beam polishing and Scanning Electron Microscopy (BIB-
SEM) to characterize the microstructure of selected core samples of immature Upper …

This study examines subsurface deformation at the northern end of the Wadi Araba Fault
(WAF), focusing on the Amman-Hallabat Fault (AHF) and the Wadi Shueib Fault (WSF) …
