Neotectonics is a major factor controlling landform development in tectonically active
regions, and it has significantly affected fluvial systems and mountain-front landscapes in the …

Continental collision between Iranian and Arabian plates resulted in the formation of the
Zagros fold–thrust belt and its associated foreland basin. During convergence, pre-existing …

Abstract The Persian Gulf Basin is the richest region of the World in terms of hydrocarbon
resources. According to different estimates, the basin contains 55–68% of recoverable oil …

The carbonate reservoirs in the Late Oligocene—Early Miocene Asmari Formation in the
Dezful Embayment of SW Iran are characterized by low matrix permeability, and effective …

Fracture networks play a significant role in controlling fluid flow in carbonate reservoirs. Here
we have utilized a modern and rigorous technique known as normalized correlation count …

Recent progress in the search for potassium salts in Iran is outlined. After reviewing how
most potassium ores form by the evaporation of seawater±hydrothermal brines, we focus on …

Stratigraphy, detailed structural map** and a crustal-scale cross section across the NW
Zagros collision zone provide constraints on the spatial evolution of oblique convergence of …

Abstract The Low Folded Zone is an integral part of the Western Zagros Fold–Thrust Belt of
the Iraqi territory. Field, seismic and well data have been integrated to interpret the structural …

Hormoz Island, a salt diapir in the eastern Persian Gulf, is dominated by the Infracambrian
Hormoz Complex comprising both evaporites (Hormoz Salt) and carbonates, siliciclastics …

One of the main characteristic of the Zagros foreland fold-and-thrust belt and the Zagros
foreland folded belt are wide distributions of surface extrusion from the Hormuz salt diapirs …
