RISFacies analysis and depositional sequences of the Upper Jurassic Mozduran Formation, a carbonate reservoir in the Kopet Dagh Basin, NE Iran
Upper Jurassic carbonates of the Mozduran Formation constitute the principal reservoir intervals
at the giant Khangiran and Gonbadli gasfields in the Kopet Dagh Basin, NE Iran. These carbonates
were investigated using detailed field...
Sequence stratigraphy and sea level history of the upper Paleocene strata in the Kopet-Dagh basin, northeastern Iran ,
ABSTRACT
The intracontinental Kopet-Dagh basin formed after the Middle Triassic orogeny in northeastern Iran and southwestern Turkmenistan. This underexplored basin could provide significant petroleum reserves in the 21st century. The upper...
Petrographical and geochemical evidences for paragenetic sequence interpretation of diagenesis in mixed siliciclastic–carbonate sediments: Mozduran Formation (Upper Jurassic), south of Agh-Darband, NE Iran
The Upper Jurassic Mozduran Formation with a thickness of 420 m at the type locality is the most important gas-bearing reservoir in NE Iran. It is mainly composed of limestone, dolostone with shale and gypsum interbeds ...
Geochemistry of the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous shales (Shurijeh Formation) in the intracontinental Kopet-Dagh Basin, northeastern Iran: implication for provenance, source weathering, and paleoenvironments
Abstract In the present study, the geochemical data were used to investigate the provenance, weathering history, and paleoenvironmental studies of the Shurijeh Shales, Kopet-Dagh Basin. The X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry...
A Cenomanian-Turonian drowning unconformity on the eastern part of Kopet-Dagh basin, NE Iran
A Cenomanian-Turonian interval in the Mozduran pass section, eastern part of Kopet-Dagh basin
(NE of Iran), was measured and studied in order to interpret the biostratigraphy and paleoecology (based on distribution of planktonic foraminifera...
Lithofacies and sequence stratigraphic analysis of the Upper Jurassic siliciclastics in the eastern Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran
The Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian-Kimmeridgian) Mozduran Formation is the most important gas reservoirs
of the northeast Iran. Siliciclastic facies of this formation in eastern most parts of the basin have not ...
Investigating the paleoecological characteristics of Abtalkh Formation at Bahadorkhan Section (Central Kopet-Dagh) based on planktonic and benthic foraminifera
Study of a late Late Santonian to Late Campanian hemipelagic succession from Abtalkh Formation at the Bahadorkhan section (Central Kopet-Dagh) enabled us to verify paleoecology changes based on planktonic and benthic ...
Petrography and Geochemistry of the Upper Jurassic Siliciclastic Rocks Equivalent to the Mozduran Gas Reservoir in the Eastern Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran
In this research, petrographic and geochemical (major and trace elements) characteristics of siliciclastic rocks of the Mozduran Formation in the eastern Kopet- Dagh Basin have been carried out in order to reveal their provenance such as source area...
New stratigraphic data for the Lower Cretaceous Tirgan Formation, Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran
In this contribution, we describe a section through the Lower Cretaceous shallow-water platform sediments -Tirgan Formation- from the Kopet-Dagh basin -northern Tethys-, which is located near Tirgan village, NE Iran. We used benthic foraminifera...
Systematic paleontology and taphonomic studies of Ypresian mollusks at the Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran
Marine invertebrate fossils have long been considered important tools for age dating and stratigraphic interpretation of the Paleogene deposits of Central Asia, however information has not yet been provided from the Kopet-Dagh Basin (NE Iran...
