New simplified tectonic models and depositional history of Late Cretaceous rocks are established in a part of Zagros Orogenic Belt that is located in the Northeastern Iraq. These rocks constutes the most important Cretaceous oil reservoir in the Middle East. The dependent tools are petrography, field study and the concept of drowning phases. This concept is relatively new and accurate in explan...

Determination of porosity, permeability, and pore volume compressibility of reservoir rocks and those variations with effective stress changes are of great interest in petroleum engineering. This paper has studied the influence of pore types of carbonate reservoir rocks on pore volume compressibility as well as Klinkenberg permeability and porosity at different stress values. In the current stu...

this paper dealswith thermo-mineral groundwater of themondragone plain (campania, southernitaly) and the possibility to use this low enthalpy geothermal resource. in the nw sector of this plain, at thebottom of mt. pizzuto, near the sea, there are thermo-mineral waters (50 °c) of sodium-chloride type,sulfureous and rich in co2 whose recharge is from the mt. pizzuto groundwater body. in the se s...

This paper presents the new geochemical isotopes Sr and Nd, and the mineralization data for the south Neyshabour volcanic rocks located in NE Iran. Based on the chemical classifications, the studied rocks are basaltic trachy andesite, trachy andesite, trachyte, and trachy dacite in composition. All the analyzed volcanic rocks display enrichment in light rare earth elements (LREE) relative to th...

the bulk of the world's phosphate reserves is located in sedimentary horizons that contain appreciable amounts of carbonate. during beneficiation of phosphate rocks, huge amounts of oversize phosphate rocks are rejected from crushers. this reject also mostly contains low tricalcium phosphate and high carbonate content. in this study, experiments have been carried out to reduce/eliminate carbona...
