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...
The Shiranish Formation (Campanian-Maastrichtian) was studied in two surface sections (Diana and Garuta) Erbil Governorate. Both lie within the High Folded Zone of Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt Iraq. Stratigraphically, formation is divided into three lithostratigraphic units depending on field characteristics with varied thicknesses both sections. lower unit (Unit A) consists blue to grey well-bedded marly massive limestone, middle B) composed marl, limestone stratified shale, finally, upper C)...
Abstract Petrographic, organic, and inorganic geochemical analysis of the solid bitumen host shales from Middle Late Jurassic-age Sargelu Naokelekan Formations Banik section, northernmost Iraq, was undertaken. The aim to understand their derivation preservation, as well examine carbon oxygen isotopes, paleoredox proxies under which sediments were deposited. Petrographic both formations revealed presence high reflectance (first phase) low (second phase). equivalent vitrinite indicates that...
Early Jurassic- to Cretaceous-age calcareous nannofossils from the Sarki, Sehkanyian, Sargelu, Naokelekan, Barsarin and Chia Gara formations are investigated for first time Warte area, northeastern Iraqi Kurdistan. A range of isotopic inorganic geochemical analyses carried out in order reconstruct paleoecological paleoclimatic conditions during which were deposited. The age Sargelu Formation was determined as Bajocian–Callovian based on occurrence Cyclagelosphaera margerelii, Watznaueria...
Eurypterid setae and fragments of cuticle are encountered in palynological samples from different areas Gondwana. In the literature published past seven decades, eurypterid remains recorded as a part Paleozoic assemblages without giving significance to their biostratigraphic potential. This is because absence taxonomical classification that allows tracking occurrence similar specimens regions. present study, rich assemblage eurypterids found Devonian Ora Formation Akkas-3 well Iraq. The...
Source rock potentiality and reservoir characteristics of the Baluti Formation (Late Triassic), Northern Iraq were examined in order to determine hydrocarbon generation potential properties. A combination geochemical analyses, stable carbon isotope, 1D-basin modeling digital log data used evaluate formation. The Total Organic Carbon ratios range from 0.39 0.61 wt%, while quantity free residual are low (0.05-0.11, 0.40-0.90 mg/g respectively). average oxygen index is 318 mg CO2/g TOC,...
The aim of the present study was to reconstruct depositional conditions (i.e., paleoclimate, paleosalinity and paleoredox conditions) which were predominant during Early Jurassic-Early Cretaceous period region NE Iraq. To this end, a comparative mineralogical geochemical features Sarki, Sehkanyian, Sargelu, Naokelekan, Barsarin Chia Gara formations from Cretaceous-age Ranya section, carried out together with same Warte section (both sections are located in Iraq). Petrographic microfacies...
