Abstract The Mississippian (Tournaisian–Visean) of the Jbel Asdaf area in Tisdafine Basin (Eastern Anti-Atlas, Morocco) has been, for first time, subject a palynological study. This work aims to describe lithological and paleontological composition Aït Yalla Tinerhir Formations, then refine age, reconstruct paleoenvironment assess thermal maturity organic matter. studied section is subdivided, ...

The Geirud Formation consists mainly of clastic sediments which are interbedded with limestone stringers. This rock unit is well-exposed along the Central Alborz Range in northern Iran. The Geirud Formation rests unconformably on the Mila Formation (Upper Cambrian) and is conformably overlain by the Mobarak Formation (Lower Carboniferous). This study was undertaken to determine the geologi...

Abstract The Late Palaeozoic–Early Mesozoic Tethyan development of the Eastern Mediterranean region remains debatable, especially in Turkey, where alternative northward and southward subduction hypotheses are proposed. Relevant to this debate, new whole-rock geochemical data provided here for early Carboniferous (Late Tournaisian-Late Visean; c. 340–350 Ma) tuffaceous sedimentary rocks within Ç...

Pedorelicts occur sporadically in coastal exposures of Middle to Late Triassic continental sediments, at Portishead, SW England. The clasts include aeolian and bedrock constituents, calcrete textures, vesicles other pedogenic features reflecting a hot semi-arid palaeoenvironment. Interpreted as being derived from an upland soil, they are classified palaeosol terms Calcic Protosol. In the most s...

Abstract In oil production, a reservoir flooding system is often used. This necessary to compensate for production in the and maintain pressure. But water cutting of wells constantly increasing, that makes exploitation less profitable, future this leads shutdown wells. The source supply well not always clear, presence flooded below overlying reservoirs from which was previously carried out, pos...
