Abstract:

Image logs of 13 wells in the Rag Sefid Anticline show two systems of fractures developed under two deformation phase in the Dezful Embayment. This deformation phases are folding resulted from Zagros NE contraction and reactivation of the basement fault rotated the fold axial trace within the Hendijan-Izeh fault zone. Folding phase comprises four sets of fractures, which include axial and cross axial sets that trend parallel and perpendicular to the fold axial trace, respectively and two oblique sets that trend at moderate angles to the axial trace in the eastern part of the fold. Reactivation of the Hendijan-Izeh Fault has caused the restraining bend and dextral shear zone in the western part of the Rag Sefid Anticline. This dextral shear has produced three fracture sets which include two sets of Riedel shear fractures and an extensional set. The mean shortening directions measured from the fold and fault related fracture systems in the eastern and western parts of Rag Sefid Anticline are N022±2° and N064±1°, respectively. The measured NNE and ENE shortening orientations in the well sites is consistent with maximum horizontal stress orientations derived from earthquake focal mechanism solutions.

Systematic fractures analysis using image logs and complementary methods in the Marun Oilfield, SW Iran

Fractures are considered as one of the important structures in fractured reservoirs due to their effect on fluid currents and reservoirparameters such as porosity and permeability. Fracture parameters can only be directly calculated with core and image logs. Cores haveserious limitations, so image logs are the best method. The aim of this study is the systematic fractures analysis of the Asmari...

This research focusses on the biostratigraphy and paleoecological implications of the carbonatesof the Asmari Formation. The Asmari Formation is located in the Siah Kuhanticline of Izeh, Zagros Basin, SW Iran. It is of Late Oligocene (Chattian) - Early Miocene (Burdigalian) age. In this stratigraphic section, the Asmari Formation overlies the Pabdeh Formation and underlies the Gachsaran Formati...

SYNGENETIC STRONTIUM ORE DEPOSITION AT THE BASE OF ASMARI FORMATION, BANGESTAN ANTICLINE, BEHBAHAN, IRAN

Detailed petrographic, geochemical and strontium isotope studies, combined with field observation and rnicrofacies investigations indicate that syngenetic celestite at the base of Asmari Formation at the Bangestan anticline, Behbahan region, was deposited directly from Tertiary seawater in an intrasupratidal to supratidal environment. During diagenesis, the precipitated celestite underwent ...
