asmari formation was deposited in the foreland zagros basin (southwest iran). in this research, biostratigraphy related to the asmari formation in north of khorram abad, robat namaki section, is discussed. in the studied stratigraphic section, the asmari formation overlies the shahbazan formation and underlies gachsaran formation and consists of cream to gray medium to thick limestone and marl....

This research focusses on the biostratigraphy and paleoecological implications of the carbonatesof the Asmari Formation. The Asmari Formation is located in the Siah Kuhanticline of Izeh, Zagros Basin, SW Iran. It is of Late Oligocene (Chattian) - Early Miocene (Burdigalian) age. In this stratigraphic section, the Asmari Formation overlies the Pabdeh Formation and underlies the Gachsaran Formati...

In this research, biostratigraphy related to the carbonate succession of the Shahbazan Formation at the southeastern flank of Chenar anticline, Lurestan Basin, is discussed. A study of large benthic foraminifera from the 294 mthick Shahbazan Formation led to the identification of two Middle Eocene biozones: Somalina sp. Zone, Nummulites-Alveolina Assemblage Zone. The age of the Shahbazan Format...

the asmari formation in tang-e surkh section is composed of 294 meters of thin to medium bedded and thick to massive bedded limestone associated with marly limestone. the studied section is located in the northwest of interior fars. based on deepening and shallowing patterns of microfacies, one hst and one third-order depositional sequence during rupelian and two third-order depositional sequen...

The Paleogene carbonate deposits of Pabdeh and Jahrum formations are widespread from the northwest (Dashte Zari area) to southwest Shahrekord region in High Zagros Mountains Iran record lateral upward transition open marine into shallow water environment. Formation shows a succession pelagic hemipelagic limestone, argillaceous chert. It consists planktonic wackestone, pellet-planktonic mudstone...

for this study, asmari (oligo-miocene) and bangestan (cretaceous) reservoir oils from themarun oilfield were studied geochemically. gas chromatograms and stable isotopes of carbon and sulfur indifferent oil fractions were studied. normal alkanes nc15+ are as high as 93% with a saturate percentage up to53.9% which reveal a high maturity of asmari and bangestan reservoir paraffinic oils. carbon p...

physical and chemical properties of  crude oil, including viscosity and api gravity, are commonly inherited  from the  early organic matter, environmental conditions in which they were deposited and depth of burial of the source beds. api gravity increases in deeper burial due to higher thermal maturation of organic matter in the source rocks and consequently, generation of lighter saturated hy...
