Evidence for pre-folding vein development in the Oligo-Miocene Asmari Formation in the Central Zagros Fold Belt, Iran [PDF]
International audienceIn order to understand the interplay between vein development and folding in the carbonates of the Oligo-Miocene Asmari Formation (one of the main hydrocarbon reservoir rocks) in Iran, several anticlines have been investigated in ...

The Neocomian Fahliyan Formation is one of the important oil reservoirs in the Abadan Plain Basin, SW of Iran. To evaluate the pore pressure regime of the Fahliyan reservoir, 164 in situ pressure data points (MDT, XPT, and RFT) were analyzed from seven wells belonging to six oilfields. The pressure versus depth plot revealed that the Fahliyan reservoir

Seismogenic faulting of the sedimentary sequence and laterally variable material properties in the Zagros Mountains (Iran) revealed by the August 2014 Murmuri (E. Dehloran) earthquake sequence [PDF]
We present source models for the August 2014 Murmuri (Dehloran) earthquake sequence in the Zagros Mountains of Iran. An Mw6.2 mainshock was followed by an aftershock sequence containing five events of Mw ≥ 5.4.

Probabilistic seismic hazard maps for the sultanate of Oman [PDF]
This study presents the results of the first probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) in the framework of logic tree for Oman. The earthquake catalogue was homogenized, declustered, and used to define seismotectonic source model that characterizes ...

Flexural bending of the Zagros foreland basin [PDF]
We constrain and model the geometry of the Zagros foreland to assess the equivalent elastic thickness of the northern edge of the Arabian plate and the loads that have originated due to the Arabia–Eurasia collision.

The influence of cap rock composition on hydrocarbon seep type in the Zagros oil fields, a study using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer mineral map [PDF]
The persistent natural hydrocarbon seepage in onshore basins challenges observation and exploration technologies, which are required to document and assess these valuable indications of the presence of oil and gas in the subsurface.

Determination of the heterogeneity index based on petrophysical and image logs in the Sarvak reservoir of an oilfield located in the Dezful Embayment [PDF]
In this study, the heterogeneity of the Sarvak reservoir in an oil field located in the Dezful Embayment was studied. The occurrence of heterogeneity is primarily attributed to various geological factors in carbonate formations, including the Sarvak ...
