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...

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...

Two stratigraphic sections (Kuh-e-Rahmat and Kuh-e-Sabz) of Upper Cretaceous strata in the Interior Fars region (SW of Iran) were selected. Lower Cretaceous succession of Kuh-e-Rahmat was consisted of Dariyan, Kazhdumi Sarvak and Ilam Formations. The lower contact of the Sarvak Formation with Kazhdumi Formation is described as a transitional type whereas the upper contact of Sarvak Formation wa...

Commercial hydrocarbon discoveries in the Cretaceous of the southern Persian Gulf basin provide direct evidence that there is an effective petroleum system associated with the Cretaceous series. The revised models of thermal maturity in this region are needed to investigate lateral and stratigraphic variations of thermal maturity, which have not so far been addressed in detail for this part of ...

Sarvak formation, with the middle cretaceous (Cenomanian) age, is one of the stratigraphic units of the Bangestan group in the southern Iran. The carbonate rocks of this formation form the reservoir rock in the study field. Generally, Sarvak formation is subdivided into three members including Mishrif, Khatiyah, and Maddud in the Persian Gulf, and the average thickness of the reservoir unit (i....

Abstract A regional 2D conceptual model was constructed to study the hydrocarbon systems associated with Middle Sarvak source rock (Cenomanian) in southeastern Persian Gulf basin. The cross section used for this purpose 135 km long and encompassed a total of 17 depositional units Late Jurassic Surmeh Formation at base Aghajari/Mishan sequences top. Compositional type II-S kinetics considered ro...

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...

in order to determine the physico-chemical characteristics of oils from upper sarvak and dariyan formations, 4 oil samples collected from reshadat and resalat oilfields were analyzed. physical properties of oils (e.g. the api gravity), indicates that dariyan oil in both resalat and reshadat oilfield is similar to (with low pour points and high sulfur contents) the oils from sarvak reservoir. ba...

The the Middle Cretaceous-Lower Miocene petroleum system of the Kupal oil field, located in the Dezful Embayment has been studied. The Kazhdumi and Pabdeh are main source rocks, the Sarvak, Ilam and Asmari formations are reservoir and the Gachsaran formation is the seal rock. According to geochemical analysis the Kazhdumi and Pabdeh contributed to oil production and feeding the Asmari and Bange...
