the zagros fold-and-thrust belt is tectonically active and often has active faults with insensible and slow motions. determining the rate of movement and displacement in these faults requires very precise measurements. one of the measurement methods of fault movements is using geodetic and micro-geodetic studies. this research is focused on one of the active faults in the north of shiraz city, ...

The NNW-trending Dena Fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt in Borujen region. The fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. This study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of Dena Fault based on field evidence....

The larger benthic foraminifera Gyroconulina columellifera Schroeder & Darmoian, 1977 (type-locality: Maastrichtian Aqra Formation of Iraq) is described for the first time from two sections of the Maastrichtian Tarbur Formation of the Zagros Fold-Thrust-Belt, SW Iran. New details on its wall microstructure are provided. The microfacies is represented by bioclastic wacke-/pack-/grainstones with ...

The Zagros Fold and Thrust belt is one of the world's most prolific petroleum provinces. Most hydrocarbon reserves are stored in naturally fractured reservoirs such fracture systems can therefore have a significant impact on reservoir performance. Fractures important paths for fluid flow carbonate reservoirs. Fracture data were collected outcrops Kirkuk Group Oligocene age around Qara Chauq Sou...

Utilizing sophisticated tools in carbonate rocks is crucial to interpretating the origin and evolution of diagenetic fluids from Upper Jurassic along Zagros thrust-fold Belt. The paleofluids utilizing in-situ strontium isotope ratios by high resolution laser ablation ICP-MS, integrated with stable isotopes, petrography fieldwork are constrained. Due lack information on chemistry fluids, cements...

Abstract Naturally, fractured reservoirs play a considerable part in the study, production, and development of hydrocarbon fields because most Zagros Basin are naturally fractured. Production from those is usually affected by presence system connected fractures. In this Tabnak field on fold–thrust belt at zone Persian plate has been analyzed facies models, folding mechanism analysis to identify...

The geometry, kinematics and dynamics of fold-and-thrust belts are strongly influenced by the mechanical behaviour basal décollement. However, many also include mechanically weak lithologies such as evaporites marls or mudstones at different levels within shortened stratigraphy. dynamic evolution these thrust controlled both décollement units embedded overlying stratigraphic succession. In Zagr...
