چکیده

in this research, biostratigraphy and paleo-ecological reconstruction of the qom formation deposits in bijegan village, northeast ofdelijan, are discussed. the studied section is situated in the western margin of the urumieh-dokhtar magmatic arc (the intra-arc basin).the qom formation deposits at the studied area are rupelian-chattian in age. larger benthic foraminifers are used for biostratigraphywith the occurrence of 14 genera and 16 species, which led to the identification of two faunal assemblages: 1 nummulites vascus-n.fichteli, and 2. lepidocyclina-operculina-ditrupa. oligocene coral assemblages from the studied section are investigated with regardto its palaeoecological implications. these corals comprise four species of four genera and are compared with faunas from themediterranean tethys and indo-pacific ocean, and they have an affinity to corals of the mediterranean tethys. re-deposited branchingporites coral assemblages probably occurred in patchy dense frameworks which were destroyed during storm events and re-depositedin the present stratified horizons. the porites-faviidae assemblage represented a common feature of oligocene coral faunas andincreasing water energy.

Biostratigraphy and depositional history of Coniacian-Santonian succession in East of Ramhormoz area (Tange-Bulfaris section)

This study is focused on the biostratigraphy, sedimentary environments, facies distribution, and sequence stratigraphy of the Coniacian–Santonian sediments of Tange-Bulfaris section. Five assemblage zones have been recognized by distribution of the foraminifera in the study area. Assemblage zone 1(Chara Ostracods zone) is Coniacian in age and occurs in the lower part of the succession. Assembl...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Climate change impedes scleractinian corals as primary reef ecosystem engineers

Coral reefs are among themost diverse and productive ecosystems on our planet. Scleractinian corals function as the primary reef ecosystem engineers, constructing the framework that serves as a habitat for all other coral reefassociated organisms. However, the coral’s engineering role is particularly susceptible to global climate change. Ocean warming can cause extensive mass coral bleaching, w...
