چکیده

the kashkan formation (paleocene to middle eocene), consists of conglomerate, sandstone, and siltstone in the zagros folded zone, southwest iran. type of the sedimentary facies, architectural elements and trace fossils show that kashkan deposits were formed in a low sinuosity braided stream system, with north to south flow direction. the formation displays coarsening-upward succession reflects an overall regressive sequence. the clast–supported conglomerate is the major components of the formation. a thinning of the coarser–grained sediments toward the south, and southwest indicates that the source for the kashkan formation was to the north and northwest from the study area. trace fossils of kashkan formation are related to scoyenia ichnofacies, include arenicolites isp., diplocraterion isp., ophiomorpha isp., skolithos isp., steinichnus isp., thalassinoides isp., escape structure and vertebrate footprints. sedimentological analysis and type of the trace fossils indicate the south the stream was restricted by a shoreface environment. kashkan formation becomes thinner and fine–grained in the southern part of the study area.

First Finding of Satin Spar Gemstone in Iran, Folded Zagros Zone, Fars Region

The gypsum mineralization occurred in the form of Satin Spar and Selenite in the south and southwest of the Fars province in the folded Zagros zone. In this region, Satin Spar mineralization has been formed as stratiform between the red marl and siltstone units of Late Miocene–Pliocene in Agha Jari, Bakhtiari, and the Gachsaran formations. The reserves of Satin Spar in this area are at least 20...

Improvement of Water Saturation and Formation Factor Parameters in a Clastic Reservoir, Zagros Basin, SW Iran

Water saturation (Sw) is one of the most important petro-physical parameter for evaluating the clastic horizons of hydrocarbon reservoir, which can be calculated using Archie's equation. The Archie's parameters (m, a) are the major source of uncertainty in the calculation of Sw. In order to obtain Archie's parameters, a total number of 117 sandstone samples, having resistivity measurements from...

Relationship Between Depositional Facies and Reservoir Characteristics of the Oligo-Miocene Asmari Formation, Aghajari Oilfield, SW Iran

The present study focuses on facies analysis and the reservoir characteristics of the Asmari Formation in the Aghajari oilfield (located in the Zagros fold-thrust belt, southwest Iran), and how they are linked to depositional environments and reservoir characteristics. This formation consists of about 380 m carbonates with some siliciclastic intercalations. Based on the integration of 1200 m of...
