Reconstruction of the depositional environment Paleocene-Eocene Sinjar Formation from two outcrop sections in northwestern and northeastern Iraq has been evaluated using traditional petrographic facies analysis supported by X-ray diffraction scanning electron microscopy with a focus on (P-E) transition boundary. To this end, major trace elemental geochemistry was conducted various paleoenvironmental proxies for paleoredox, paleoclimate, paleosalinity paleoproductivity were determined order...
ABSTRACT The Middle Miocene Fatha Formation (previously Lower Fars Formation) in northern Iraq was deposited a broad and shallow foreland basin adjacent to the Zagros Taurus Mountains. It forms transgressive-regressive sequence comprising numerous shallowing-upward cycles of alternating mudrocks, limestones, gypsum and/or anhydrite halite. These reflect rapid changes accommodation space settings that ranged from open restricted hypersaline marine continental (sabkha fluvio-deltaic). In...
The Ora Formation (late Devonian-early Carboniferous) is thought to be a potential source rocks for the Paleozoic petroleum system of Iraq. from evaluated first time ever in this study western and northern Iraq which integrates data organic geochemistry including Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis, HAWK pyrolysis, gas chromatography (GC), mass spectrometry (GC-MS) mineralogical X-ray diffraction scanning electron microscopy. shale muddy carbonate succession within surface section...
The present work focuses on the upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian-early Campanian) carbonate successions in selected wells from northwestern Iraq. These are represented by Gir Bir Turonian), Wajna (late Santonian) and Mushorah (early Formations. succession has affected early burial near-surface, unconformity-related deep diagenesis cementation, neomorphism, dolomitization, dedolomitization, silicification, authigenesis of glauconite pyrite, compaction, micritization, solution porosity formation....
Petrographic and diagenetic analysis of the Middle-Upper Jurassic successions (Sargelu, Naokelekan, Barsarin) formations boundaries between them in Sargelu area, Kurdistan region, N.E. Iraq was conducted based on lithologic description, thin section analysis, scanning electron microscopy. The study aims to define petrographic components processes that affect carbonate rocks succession studied section. Thirty-eight sections have been prepared, with five samples selected using S.E.M. technique...
Abstract Facies associations and depositional environments of the Late Devonian–Early Carboniferous succession in Iraq have been studied several boreholes from north northwestern Iraq. The >400 m‐thick comprises Kaista, Ora, Harur Raha formations which are composed generally mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate facies. Kaista Formation consists sandstones intercalated with siltstones calcareous shale that were deposited a fluvial‐marine environment. Ora is dominantly black subordinate sandstone...
Field observations, together with the results of gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and stable carbon isotope analysis bitumen, coupled fluid inclusion microthermometry analyses closely associated vug- fracture-filling columnar calcite in Upper Cretaceous Bekhme Formation, Kurdistan Region Iraq, suggest that degradation crude oil was caused by regional incursion meteoric waters. This incursion, which is interpreted to have occurred during tectonic uplift Zagros Orogeny, evidenced...
The early Carboniferous Harur Formation from the Ora outcrop section of northern Iraq consists black shale, calcareous shale and carbonate. mineralogical geochemical investigations (major trace elements) units have been conducted to evaluate paleoenvironmental conditions including paleoclimate, paleoredox conditions, paleoproductivity, sedimentary rate, their effects on organic matter accumulation. proxies such as Chemical Index Alteration (CIA), A-CN-K plot, Sr/Cu ratio, relation between...
Abstract Stable isotopic geochemistry in relation to major and trace elements of core samples from the Gulneri Formation at Kirkuk Oilfield Northern Iraq has been conducted determine occurrence oceanic anoxic event (OAE2) reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions during this event. Positive values stable carbon data have revealed that temperature is high deposition accompanied with higher organic productivity a rate burial decrease dissolved oxygen marine environments, whereas, negative...
