Deposition, Diagenesis, and Geochemistry of Upper Cretaceous Carbonates (Sarvak Formation) in the Zagros Basin and the Persian Gulf, Iran

open access: yesMinerals, 2023
Upper Cretaceous carbonate rocks of the Sarvak Formation are among the most important hydrocarbon reservoirs of the Middle East. This paper summarizes the depositional history, diagenetic alteration, and geochemistry of this formation in south and ...

Tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Dehdasht structural basin (Central Zagros, Iran)

open access: yesTectonophysics, 2021
This paper deals with the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the Dehdasht Basin, located at the boundary between the Izeh Zone and the Dezful Embayment, in the Central Zagros. The structural evolution of the basin is closely related to the coeval sedimentation of Neogene Fars Group foreland basin deposits.

Biostratigraphy of large benthic foraminifera from the lower part of the Shahbazan Formation: revision of the age of the carbonate succession from the Tange Lilam section (Chenareh Anticline, Lorestan Basin) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2022
In this study, the lower part of carbonate successions from the Shahbazan Formation in the Chenareh anticline of the Zagros sedimentary basin (SW of Iran) based on Large Benthic Foraminifera (LBF) was investigated.

Pore-Type Characterization and Reservoir Zonation of the Sarvak Formation in the Abadan Plain, Zagros Basin, Iran

open access: yesMinerals, 2023
Carbonate reservoirs are characterized by their complex depositional–diagenetic history and, consequently, intricate pore networks. In this study, pore types and reservoir zones of the Sarvak Formation, which is the second most important oil reservoir in

Neogene sediments and modern depositional environments of the Zagros foreland basin system [PDF]

open access: yesGeological Magazine, 2011
AbstractA sedimentological investigation of the Neogene deposits of the Zagros foreland basin in SW Iran reveals a continuous and largely gradational passage from supratidal and sabkha sediments at the base (represented by the Gachsaran Formation) to carbonates and marine marls (Mishan Formation with basal Guri carbonate member) followed by coastal ...

Microfacies correlation, analysis and palaeoecological reconstruction of Rupelian–Aquitanian succession in the central part of Lorestan Province, Northwestern Iran

open access: yesJournal of the Palaeontological Society of India, 2023
The Oligocene–Miocene Asmari Formation is a sequence of shallow-water carbonate carbonates in the Zagros Basin. This formation is a significant oil reservoir that was formed in the Zagros foreland basin in southwestern Iran. The Razan section, located in
