Consideration Geometric and Kinematic of Fracture Parameters in Asmari Reservoir of Gachsaran Oil Field Based on Image log Interpretation

Mohammad Seraj

In this study was used from interpretation results of 12 borehole image logs(FMI, FMS, OBMIUBI) of the Gachsaran oil field.Fracture sets were recognized in the Asmari reservoir and the compared with a folding related model (the either syn or post folding) and pre folding fracture. After that fracture sets were analyzed by statistical methods and consequently fracture sets were classified in different structural settings.finally the prevailing fracture sets recognized in study wells that is include N-S , Longitudinal and E-W fracture sets.

Effect of inherited structural highs on the structure and kinematics of the South Dezful Embayment, SW Iran

Abstract Understanding the structural evolution of the South Dezful Embayment (SDE) in the Zagros Fold-and-Thrust Belt (ZFTB) is significant for hydrocarbon exploration and production. The structural evolution of this area has been controlled by the reactivation of basement structures related to the oblique convergence along the ZFTB. In this work, we study the effect of the pre-contractional interaction between the basement step and overlaid salt layer superimposed by the Zagros shortening on the structural style and evolution of the sedimentary basin in the SDE. We use multidisciplinary approaches involving surface and subsurface data and analogue models. Disharmonic folds with small wavelength formed over the Kharg-Mish Palaeo-high (KMPH) where the sedimentary cover is thinner. On the other hand, faulted detachment folds with large wavelengths developed in the adjacent depocenters. Furthermore, the KMPH affected the geometry and kinematics of the frontal part of the Zagros Belt, which is characterized by the Mountain Front Flexure (MFF) topographic step. Long-lasting active deformation of the sedimentary cover over the frontal ramp of the KMPH developed the South Izeh Promontory (SIP). Localized contraction in the SIP was accommodated temporally by trishear fault-propagation folding and resulted in > 5 km elevation difference between this promontory and two adjacent local basins. Supporting scaled analogue models show that structural evolution, folding and along-strike variations in fold style of the SDE have been controlled by thickness variations of the sedimentary cover and the geometry of the inherited pre-salt structure. Based on the results of this study, the effect of inherited structural highs on the structure and kinematics of the SDE provide important insights for hydrocarbon entrapment, migration and exploration.

Structural relationship between subsurface oil fields in the North Dezful Embayment: Qaleh Nar, Lower and Upper Balarud Anticlines (central Zagros, Iran)

Bulletin Of The Mineral Research and Exploration (2023)

Raana Razavi Pash Mohammad Seraj Soumyajit Mukherjee Ahmad RADMEHR

How subsurface anticlines (oil fields) link structurally with faults is of great relevance in the exploration and development of oil fields. In this context, we investigate the geometric relation between lower Balarud (LBR), upper Balarud (UBR) and Qaleh Nar (QN) subsurface anticlines that are the main oil fields in the Northern Dezful Embayment, central Zagros. The Asmari (As) and the Bangestan (Bng) reservoirs are studied geophysically using seismic profiles, well data and underground contour maps (UGC). Interpretation of 3500 m deep seismic profiles indicates the geometry of the studied subsurface anticlines differs vertically and horizontally to a significant proportion. The interpreted structures much resemble As and Bng horizons in each anticline. The UBR got overturned on the LBR due to thrusting possibly in the Late Miocene. The LBR, like a rabbit-ear structure, is situated at the northern edge of the QN. The lower and upper Chenareh and LBR and UBR resemble structurally and are separated mutually by a steep (strike-slip) fault. The fault separates the LBR and UBR from the QN. Interaction of different factors: change in overburden pressure, rate of deformation and uplift in the different parts of the subsurface anticlines moved and accumulated Gachsaran Formation towards both limbs of the anticlines.
