Stratigraphy and Tectonic Development in the Arabian Gulf
Candidates:
This course is valuable for all levels from fresh graduates to managers working in the exploration, development and production divisions.
Summary:
The course aims to explain the tectonic development and the nature of stratigraphic units deposited in the Arabian Gulf region. The Arabian Gulf was affected to a great extent by a series of tectonic events that permitted the accumulation of thick, uninterrupted sedimentary sequences and stratigraphic units over a very large area of the Gulf.
Contents:
- Definition of the stratigraphic units in the Gulf.
- Stratigraphic framework of the northern & southern regions.
- Tectonic development of the Arabian basin.
- Major tectonic elements in the northern & southern regions.
- Influence of tectonic settings on oil generation, migration and entrapment.
