in order to study biostratigraphy of the surgah formation in zagros sedimentary basin, two subsurface sections of this formation in maleh kuh and sarkan oil fields at pol-e-dokhtar area, lorestan province, have been selected. the thickness of surgah formation at maleh kuh and sarkan, was 82 and 46 meters respectively and is composed of shale with intercalation of limestone and calcareous shale....

The litho-and biostratigraphy of Upper Cretaceous (Gurpi Formation) has been investigated within a well-exposed section at the northern limb of Pey zard anticline, Abnow area, Southern Iran. The studied section consists mainly of grey marl, calcareous pyritic shale, and argillaceous limestones. The Formation unconformably overlies Sarvak Formation and the Tarbur Formation overlies it unconforma...

in order to determine the physico-chemical characteristics of oils from upper sarvak and dariyan formations, 4 oil samples collected from reshadat and resalat oilfields were analyzed. physical properties of oils (e.g. the api gravity), indicates that dariyan oil in both resalat and reshadat oilfield is similar to (with low pour points and high sulfur contents) the oils from sarvak reservoir. ba...

Quantified balanced and restored crustal cross-sections across the NW Zagros Mountains are presented in this work integrating geological and geophysical local and global datasets. The balanced crustal cross-section reproduces the surficial folding and thrusting of the thick cover succession, including the near top of the Sarvak Formation (∼ 90 Ma) that forms the top of the restored crustal cros...

Abstract A regional 2D conceptual model was constructed to study the hydrocarbon systems associated with Middle Sarvak source rock (Cenomanian) in southeastern Persian Gulf basin. The cross section used for this purpose 135 km long and encompassed a total of 17 depositional units Late Jurassic Surmeh Formation at base Aghajari/Mishan sequences top. Compositional type II-S kinetics considered ro...

The the Middle Cretaceous-Lower Miocene petroleum system of the Kupal oil field, located in the Dezful Embayment has been studied. The Kazhdumi and Pabdeh are main source rocks, the Sarvak, Ilam and Asmari formations are reservoir and the Gachsaran formation is the seal rock. According to geochemical analysis the Kazhdumi and Pabdeh contributed to oil production and feeding the Asmari and Bange...
