Structural variation along the Zagros and the nature of the Dezful Embayment [PDF]
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 ...

Influence of Folding on Hydrocarbon Generation: an Example from the Dezful Embayment [PDF]
One dimensional basin modelling was used to evaluate the maturity of source rocks, the history of oil generation, and expulsion in north Pazanan syncline and Pazanan, Agha-Jari, and Bangestan anticlines in south Dezful Embayment in the Zagros Basin.

Organic geochemistry of Paleogene Pabdeh Formation in northern Dezful embayment, Zagros, SW Iran
In this paper, the organic geochemistry of Upper Eocene-Oligocene Pabdeh Formation, in northern Dezful Embayment, SW Iran, was studied using combination of geochemical measurements including Rock-Eval pyrolysis, Gas Chromatography and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. A total of 14 shale samples of Pabdeh Formation were obtained from 14 wells in 11

Provenance evolution of Oligocene–Pliocene foreland deposits in the Dezful embayment to constrain Central Zagros exhumation history [PDF]
This paper presents a detailed provenance analysis of the 6.5 km thick Oligocene–Pliocene foreland succession in the north Dezful embayment in Zagros, Iran. Using petrography, geochemistry and palaeoflow analysis, we determined three provenance shifts during the exhumation of the Zagros orogen.

Conceptual modeling of onshore hydrocarbon seep occurrence in the Dezful Embayment, SW Iran [PDF]
Petroleum and gas seeps on the ground surface are direct indicators of accumulations of hydrocarbons in the subsurface and could reflect the migration of hydrocarbons in a sedimentary basin. Quantitative analyses of the spatial pattern of hydrocarbon seeps and their spatial associations with geological features could aid in deducing geological controls
