lurestan province is petroliferous area. the reserved oil are in ilam and sarvak  (cretaceous ) and kangan ( lower triassic ) and dalan (permian) formations. the lurestan area had high exploration activity but contribution of source rocks in hydrocarbon accumulations isn’t clear. in this paper essential elements and process of hydrocarbon accumulation are introduced. candidate  source  rocks ar...

the main rock mass classification systems make use of similar rock mass parameters. due to lack of comprehensive estimation systems, determining the real specifications of jointed rocks faces some difficulties. a vast number of parameters with various degrees of impact are involved in such definitions. combination impact of all the effective parameters is to be figured out in order to come up w...

The studied area includes Sulaimani, Erbil and Dohuk Governorates where Cretaceous rocks are well exposed in the High Folded Zone of North and Northeastern Iraq. This area is part of the northwestern boundary of Arabian platform near to Iranian border. In these governorates, the study tries to clarify the relations between deep and shallow stratigraphic units (formation or facies) during Cretac...

Neuroblastoma, which derives from neural crest, is the most common extracranial solid cancer in childhood. The tumors express the norepinephrine (NE) transporters on their cell membrane and take in metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) via a NE transporter. Since iodine-131 (I-131) MIBG therapy was firstly reported, many trails of MIBG therapy in patients with neuroblastoma were performed. Though mono...

Petrophysical parameters such as porosity, water and oil saturations, formation resistivity factor, etc. describe the storage capability of the porous media or the capacity of rocks to hold fluids. The modified Archie’s equation . / . , also called the saturation equation, is used to determine the water saturation. Archie’s parameters, namely , , and , are sometimes assumed constant to simp...

carbonate successions of the sarvak formation (late albian? to mid-turonian) together with the carbonate of the ilam formation formed the second important hydrocarbon reservoirs in sw iran and persian gulf. facies analyses were carried out on the upper parts of the sarvak formation in western part of the ahwaz oilfield (az-63 well) to interpret depositional environment. lithologically, the uppe...

The middle Sarvak formation (Cenomanian) is one of the stratigraphic units of the Bangestan group in the south of Iran. This formation is stratigraphically equivalent to the Ahmadi member of Kuwait and Iraq. There is geochemical evidence that indicates this unit has a high level of organic richness and can be a possible source rock in various locations. This study focuses on the organic geochem...

Abstract Understanding the fracture patterns of hydrocarbon reservoirs is vital in Zagros area southwest Iran as they are strongly affected by collision Arabian and Iranian plates. It essential to evaluate both primary secondary (fracture) porosity permeability understand fluid dynamics reservoirs. In this study, we adopted an integrated workflow assess influence various sets on heterogeneous c...
