three well - known source rocks of the zagros basin and the persian gulf are mesozoic in age.the jurassic sargelu, albian kazhdumi and neocomian-coniacian garau formations have charged the cretaceous reservoirs of this area. the northwest part of the persian gulf is strongly influenced by two major n-s trending paleohighs (hendijan- bahregansar-regesafid-izeh and kharge- mish) and surrounding p...

Abstract Geochemical study of Kazhdumi and Pabdeh Formations as potential source rocks in Gachsaran Oilfield demonstrates that the Formation has a fair to good capability hydrocarbon generation predominately contains type II-III kerogen. On other hand, poor petroleum different kerogen types, including II, II-III, III even for one sample, IV, indicating depositional conditions this formation. Th...

The Paleogene carbonate deposits of Pabdeh and Jahrum formations are widespread from the northwest (Dashte Zari area) to southwest Shahrekord region in High Zagros Mountains Iran record lateral upward transition open marine into shallow water environment. Formation shows a succession pelagic hemipelagic limestone, argillaceous chert. It consists planktonic wackestone, pellet-planktonic mudstone...

Understanding the performance and role of each formation in a petroleum play is crucial for the efficient and precise exploration and exploitation of trapped hydrocarbons in a sedimentary basin. The Lorestan basin is one of the most important hydrocarbon basins of Iran, and it includes various oil-prone potential source rocks and reservoir rocks. Previous geochemical studies of the basin were n...

Three well - known source rocks of the Zagros basin and the Persian Gulf are Mesozoic in age.The Jurassic Sargelu, Albian Kazhdumi and Neocomian-Coniacian Garau formations have charged the Cretaceous reservoirs of this area. The northwest part of the Persian Gulf is strongly influenced by two major N-S trending paleohighs (Hendijan- Bahregansar-Regesafid-Izeh and Kharge- Mish) and surrounding p...

The Izeh fault zone is a transverse fault zone with dextral strike slip (and some reverse component) in the Zagros Mountains (Iran). It causes some structural deformations. This fault zone is acting as eastern boundary of Dezful Embayment and forms subsidence of the embayment. The fault has been recognized using remote sensing techniques in conjunction with surface and subsurface analyses. The ...

ghalajeh synclinal is extended on the south of kermanshah province from northwest to southeast. considering the permanent tectonic movements in quaternary and current age in studied region, the alluvial fans of the region is a good reason for evaluation of such movements. the morphology and morphometry properties of alluvial fans are severely under the effect of the tectonic activities. the aim...
