Lithostratigraphy and microfacies analysis of the Avanah Formation (Middle Eocene) were studied in Gomaspan section Bina Bawi anticline, northeast Erbil city, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. The field observations refer that formation attains 56 m medium to thick bedded yellow limestone, grey dolomitic limestone blue marly interbedded with thin beds marl dark shale an interval sandy middle part red mud...

a micropaleontological study has been carried out on the samples collected from the sarv abad section, the oldest and only known jurassic sedimentary rocks cropping out in the moghan area. studied sequence consists of carbonates bounded at both base and top by clastic deposits. studied carbonate deposits provide an assemblage of benthic foraminifera as well as calcareous algae. the stratigraphi...

Unconventional oil and gas, represented by shale gas oil, have occupied an important position in global energy. The rapid growth of production shows great potential for the exploration development resources. Junggar basin, main oil-bearing basin China, is rich resources, so it practical significance to carry out systematic research on geological characteristics reservoirs this region. To end, p...

The current research studies the depositional setting of Jeribe Formation in south Mosul area northern Iraq, which is tectonically located Low Folded Zone characterized by deposition limestone and marly during Middle Miocene. Petrography has provided a diversity fauna such as benthonic foraminifera (Miliolid, Peneroplis sp., Dendritina sp. Borelis melo curdica) addition to Red Algae Mollusca. c...

Five subsurface sections and a large number of thin the Hartha Formation (age Late Campanian – Early Maastrichtian) were studied to unravel depositional facies environments. The is important as an oil reservoir in Iraq. Petrographic microfacies analysis selected wells from Balad East Baghdad fields Central Iraq, enable recognition three main Sedimentary paleoenvironments. These are restricted m...
