Integrated facies and diagenetic analyses within a sequence stratigraphic framework were
carried out on mid-Cretaceous Sarvak carbonate reservoirs in five giant and supergiant …

In the Zagros area and the Persian Gulf, Upper Cretaceous carbonate sequences are
among the most important hydrocarbon reservoirs. In this study, facies analysis and …

This study delineates reservoir and non-reservoir zones in the Lower Cretaceous Dariyan
Formation as units that are characteristic of the stratigraphic section representative of …

ABSTRACT A recent three-dimensional (3-D) seismic data set over an onshore oil field in
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, is compared to a geologic model based on more than 200 …

During Aptian times the northeastern corner of the African plate, the Arabian craton, was in
the tropics. Two-thirds of it was covered by a broad epeiric sea opening eastward into the …

Abstract The Dariyan Formation (southwestern Iran) records the characteristic features of an
oceanic anoxic event with organic-and radiolarian-rich hemipelagic intervals. A …

The stratigraphic framework of the uppermost Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous interval of the Gulf
area is revised using both historical and recently acquired paleontological (ammonites …

After sea level rises during the Early Cretaceous, upper parts of the Khami Group sediments
(Fahliyan, Gadvan, and Dariyan Formations) deposited over Jurassic sediments. The Lower …

Abstract During the late Early Cretaceous, the shallow-water domains of the western Tethys
are characterized by the widespread deposition of Urgonian-type carbonates rich in rudists …

Upper Cretaceous depositional systems of the Zagros area were influenced by a series of
local and regional tectono-sedimentary events such as progressively southwestward …
