Aptian carbonates, major hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Persian Gulf, were deposited on a ramp-like platform to intrashelf basinal setting under the controls of tectonics and eustasy. Coated grains (oncoids and pisoids) are abundant and show different textures and internal microstructures depending on the stratigraphic position. These Aptian coated grains are divided according to their texture, cortex...
In the Zagros area and the Persian Gulf, Upper Cretaceous carbonate sequences are among the most important hydrocarbon reservoirs. In this study, facies analysis and stratigraphic interpretation of these sequences, Cenomanian-Santonian in age, have been carried out in subsurface sections from various parts of the Zagros area (including the Dezful Embayment and Fars Province) and the Persian Gulf....
The Sarvak reservoirs are characterized by thick rudist-dominated intervals in the south and southwest Iran. During the middle Cretaceous, rudistid communities were widely developed on the shallow parts of the Sarvak platform, mainly in the central Zagros and eastern Persian Gulf. Regional distribution and subsequent diagenesis of the rudist-dominated facies were strongly controlled by a number of...
Thick Neocomian–middle Albian successions include the most significant hydrocarbon source rocks in the Zagros Basin. These successions, named the Garau Formation, are composed of about 700 m of limestone, shaly (argillaceous) limestone, and bedded cherts with high organic matter (OM) content. Considering several lines of evidence, including the presence of partially dissolved planktonic foraminifer...
Integrated facies and diagenetic analyses within a sequence stratigraphic framework were carried out on mid-Cretaceous Sarvak carbonate reservoirs in five giant and supergiant oilfields in the central and southern parts of the Dezful Embayment, SW Iran. Results of facies analysis indicate a homoclinal ramp-type carbonate platform for this formation with the frequencies of different facies associations...
Ooid grainstone is the main reservoir rock in the Permo-Triassic Dalan and Kangan formations (Khuff equivalents) in many gas fields of the Persian Gulf and neighbouring areas. Ooids with a dominant aragonite mineralogy accumulated in a series of linear shoals and sand banks parallel to the shoreline, on the shallow parts of a vast epeiric carbonate platform. On the basis of the sequence stratigraphic...
