Sedimentological Reports
Sedimentary Geology and Diagenetic History of the Cretaceous Rocks of Northern Iraq
Introduction
This report provides a comprehensive description and interpretation of the lithology, facies, stratigraphy and diagenetic history of the Cretaceous succession in North Iraq. Reservoirs and seals are thoroughly documented, intervals with significant organic richness and oil shows are identified. Summaries of tectonic setting and other background information are also included. The results are placed in their broader context and exploration implications assessed, including discussion of established and new plays.
- Petrographic logs and reports for 19 wells in North Iraq - Total logged section - approx 69,000 feet
- 500 Photomicrographs
- 8 Correlation Panels, 106 A4 figures
