The 2019-2020 Khalili (Iran) Earthquake Sequence-Anthropogenic Seismicity in the Zagros Simply Folded Belt? [PDF]
J Geophys Res Solid Earth, 2021 Abstract We investigate the origin of a long‐lived earthquake cluster in the Fars arc of the Zagros Simply Folded Belt that is colocated with the major Shanul natural gas field. The cluster emerged in January 2019 and initially comprised small events of Mn ∼ 3–4. It culminated on 9 June 2020 with a pair of Mw 5.4 and 5.7 earthquakes, which was followed

Structural variation along the Zagros and the nature of the Dezful Embayment [PDF]
Geological Magazine, 2011 AbstractStructure varies along strike in the Zagros fold-and-thrust belt of Iran, which is a principal element in the Arabia–Eurasia continental collision. Pre-collision, Late Cretaceous ophiolite nappes (Kermanshah, Neyriz) and related nappes of deep marine sediments (Radiolarite Series) were emplaced next to two regions (Pusht-e Kuh arc, Fars) which ...

Structural relationship between subsurface oil fields in the North Dezful Embayment: Qaleh Nar, Lower and Upper Balarud Anticlines (central Zagros, Iran) [PDF]
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2023 How subsurface anticlines (oil fields) link structurally with faults is of great relevance in the exploration and development of oil fields. In this context, we investigate the geometric relation between lower Balarud (LBR), upper Balarud (UBR) and Qaleh
