[1] The Pacific Ocean likely exerted the greatest marine influence on climate during the greenhouse interval of the Paleogene. The first step toward assessing the role of Pacific deepwater circulation in global heat transport is a comprehensive reconstruction of deepwater mass composition and circulation patterns. We present new deepwater mass Nd isotope data from ODP Leg 199 Sites 1215, 1217, ...

Abstract Kuwait has proven conventional oil reserves of about 100 billion barrels which makes it one the major oil-producing countries worldwide. Most this reserve is found in Cretaceous and Jurassic with minor quantities Paleogene sedimentary successions. hydrocarbon production comes from siliciclastic Burgan Formation most important reservoir Kuwait. The Lower exhibit good quality source rock...

The Eocene to Lower Oligocene deposits of the Penyu and Malay basins are formed by fluvial-lacustrine with marine influence in latter. sequence consists mainly siltstone, several intercalations fine-grained sand volcanic tuff. Based on well data, Mid-Upper sediments exist Basin deeper parts half grabens sub-basins. Hence, this implies age basin initiation at Mid-Eocene, rather than as tradition...
