Lithology, Sedimentary Environment and Organic Contents of Carbonate Source Rocks.

Sedimentation and Sedimentary Rocks

Sedimentary rocks are one component of the modern threefold classification of rocks. They derive from the lithification of sediments, which are produced in basically two ways: by the mechanical deposition of grains derived from the alteration of other rocks (detrital or clastic rocks), or as chemical precipitates or grains formed organically or inorganically from an aqueous solution. The whole ...

microfacies and sedimentary environment of carbonate rocks of the dalichai formation in northeast of shahroud (rey-abad section)

dalichai formation at the rey-abad section (northeast shahroud) along the principal road of the mayamey-jajarm has a thickness of 166 meters .in this section, middle to upper jurassic carbonate rocks are well exposed and is typically composed of massive to medium-bedded limestones with thin shale interbeds. in the studied area and most places of this region, the lower boundary of dalichai forma...

Thermal modeling and organic geochemical appraisal of petroleum source rocks within the Aghajari Oilfield, SW Iran

Dezful embayment contains several potential source rocks deposited in tectonically active environments. Existence of various source rocks with different geological ages makes this area one of the most prolific regions throughout the Middle East. The Pabdeh Formation (Lower Paleocene-Eocene), the Gurpi Formation (Santonian-Masstrichtian), the Kazhdumi Formation (Albian) and the Gadvan Formation ...

Elastic Properties of Sedimentary Anisotropic Rocks

In multidisciplinary studies carried out in the Budare Oil Field of the Great Oficina Oil Field, there was difficulty matching well log synthetic seismograms with 2D and 3D seismic data. In addition, the seismically determined depths of reservoir horizons are greater than the well sonic log depths. To examine this discrepancy we conducted an experimental study of dynamic elastic parameters of t...
