Zagros
The Zagros fold-and-thrust belt and foreland basin in Iran and Iraq is one of the top oil and gas producing regions in the world. The producing fields are mainly hosted in Cenozoic and Cretaceous fractured carbonate anticlines, which were formed in the late Cenozoic. The fold and reservoir geometries of their structures are still poorly known. Key information on individual structures, local and regional stratigraphy, sediment geometries and reservoir to regional scale deformation patterns are missing. Addressing these issues may allow new exploration concepts developed worldwide in fold-and-thrust belts to be applied, leading to new discoveries and a better appreciation of the reservoir geology of existing fields.
