Biostratigraphy of the Danian/Selandian transition: A case study from Kamestan anticline section, northwest of Izeh city in Khuzestan province, Southern Iran [PDF]
The planktonic foraminifera turnover across the Danian-Selandian boundary (early to late Paleocene, ~60 Ma) has been studied in the Kamestan anticline section. The studied interval span planktonic foraminifera zones P2-P3.

Paleoecology and Sedimentary Environments of the Oligo-Miocene Deposits of the Asmari Formation (Qeshm Island, SE Persian Gulf) [PDF]
The Asmari Formation is composed of limestones, marly limestones, and marls, whose subsurface thickness in this region is about 148 m. Two assemblage zones have been recognized through the distribution of large foraminifera in the study area, indicating ...

Abstract Inception of obduction is a rare phenomenon in the Wilson cycle and requires specific prerequisites to transfer relatively high‐density oceanic lithosphere over the less‐dense continental lithosphere. The world's famous Semail ophiolite belt developed during the Late Cretaceous, when Neo‐Tethyan oceanic lithosphere obducted onto the rifted ...

Machine learning algorithm for prediction of stuck pipe incidents using statistical data: case study in middle east oil fields [PDF]
One of the most troublesome issues in the drilling industry is stuck drill pipes. Drilling activities will be costly and time-consuming due to stuck pipe issues. As a result, predicting a stuck pipe can be more useful.

Abstract The Fujairah basin in the Gulf of Oman experienced a complex tectonic evolution related to Late Cretaceous ophiolite obduction and Oligocene‐Miocene Zagros continental collision. The structure of the foreland basin in Oman‐UAE is well‐known, but the structure and evolution of the hinterland basin behind the obducted ophiolite and underlying ...

Abstract The Late Cretaceous obduction of the Semail Ophiolite onto the rifted passive Arabian margin and the Cenozoic collisional tectonics with the final closure of the Neo‐Tethys Ocean, are major contributors to the present‐day crustal architecture of the northern United Arab Emirates (UAE). We acquired the first 3D grid magnetotelluric observations

Microbiostratigraphy of the Jahrum Formation in Nimbashi section, West Estahban, Fars [PDF]
Introduction: Zagros sedimentary basin in the south and southwest of Iran holds oil and gas huge reservoirs. This basin which bordered the closure of the Paleotethys ocean (Berberian and King 1981), with high thickness of sedimentary sequences laid down

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.
