The Unayzah Formation in the cored interval consists of four main lithologies. These include; 1) stacked normally graded braided fluvial coarse pebbly sandstones, 2) high angle cross bedded sandstone likely involves eolian reworking, 3) flood plain / distal alluvial fan red colour mudstones, and 4) dark colour mudstones and siltstones which were deposited in backswamp and marsh type settings. This latter facies locally contain impoverished palynofloral assemblages and the associated beds have indications of tidal influence. The Basal Khuff Clastics consist of 1) amalgamated sandstone, 2) bioturbated sandstone and siltstone, 3) heterolithic black carbonaceous shale with sandstone interbeds, and 4) interbedded sandstone, siltstone and dolomite facies. These sediments were deposited in coastal plain environments representing tide influenced channels, crevasse splay, interfluve, and coastal marsh / lagoon environments, prelude to the onset of a major transgression. With the exception of ?eolian sandstone, due to authigenic illitic clay development, compaction, and the quartz cementation the reservoir potential in these sediments is reduced. Based on the limited palynofloral information, age of these strata is most likely Kazanian to Tatarian.","PeriodicalId":221727,"journal":{"name":"Seventh Arabian Plate Geology Workshop: Pre-Cambrian to Paleozoic Petroleum Systems in the Arabian Plate","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133956278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a challenging task to configure the basement from one set of data alone. Due to greater depth and huge accumulation of overburden, each method of investigation, including well drilling and geophysical methods such as gravity, magnetic and seismic, has inherent limitations and inadequacy in modeling the basement. Hence, an integrated analysis of all available data, in addition to shallow well information, is essential to obtain a meaningful picture of the basement. The study is restricted to qualitative analysis of potential field anomaly maps and seismic data, focusing Paleozoic and basement. \u0000Kuwait Arch is mapped as a gravity high in response to massive metamorphic rock formed over the crystalline basement which could be much deeper. The structural highs formed within the magnetic low, namely, Mutriba, Kra Al Maru, Minagish, Umm Gudair, Burgan and Magwa are not likely to be basement highs. A detailed analysis is required to explain the origin of these structures as deep-seated salt diapirism alone may not explain the evolution.","PeriodicalId":221727,"journal":{"name":"Seventh Arabian Plate Geology Workshop: Pre-Cambrian to Paleozoic Petroleum Systems in the Arabian Plate","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122797145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
