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...

Safeen anticline is one of the most complicated anticlines in Iraqi Kurdistan Region (IKR), with NW–SE trend. Structurally, truncated by different types faults; some them are deep-seated faults, which have subsurface form anticline. The includes two domes parasitic and synclines along both limbs. Moreover, hanging exist northeastwards southwestwards. Six possible deep seated transversal faults ...

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....

Karami A, Sefidi K, Feghhi J. 2014. Structure and spatial pattern of land uses patches in the Zagros Mountains region in the west of Iran. Biodiversitas 15: 53-59. Landscape ecology as a new interdisciplinary science, concepts, theories and methods provides for evaluation and management of land. Quantification of landscape patterns has key role in the interpretation and modeling of spatial and ...

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...

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...
