Chapter 1 Introduction to the Jurassic Arabian Intrashelf Basin Open Access
Abstract The Jurassic Arabian Intrashelf Basin provides the setting for the world's greatest conventional oil reserves, including the world's largest oilfield, the supergiant Ghawar field. The stratigraphic interval corresponding to the development and infill of the Arabian Intrashelf Basin is from the uppermost Dhruma Formation to the top of the Hith Anhydrite Formation, spanning the late Bathonian–early Callovian to Tithonian. Many areas of the intrashelf basin have been well described in recent years and the stratigraphic succession has been defined in sequence concepts, but the regional development of the intrashelf basin has not been well synthesized. This Memoir builds on published data to give a regional interpretation of the geological evolution of the Arabian Intrashelf Basin. This introductory chapter reviews some of the earlier work, summarizes the key events and elements in the geological history of the Arabian Intrashelf Basin and gives a brief review of the history of petroleum exploration in this region. It is intended to serve as an extended abstract to introduce the general setting and summarize the contents of this Memoir, including some of the proposed revisions of depositional models, correlations and the sequence nomenclature, providing a context for considering and evaluating each subsequent chapter. The themes summarized in this chapter are documented and discussed in much greater detail in the subsequent chapters of this Memoir.
Chapter 4 Depositional geometry at selected locations around the basin Available to Purchase
Abstract This chapter includes 11 cross-sections and one well log profile to show the depositional geometry and setting in specific areas around the basin: the Saudi Arabia outcrop belt; the Rimthan Arch; and the eastern and central areas of the intrashelf basin in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Oman. These cross-sections are used to demonstrate the similarity and degree of continuity of the upper Dhruma Formation, the Tuwaiq Mountain Formation, the source rock, the Hanifa, Jubaila–Arab and Arab–Hith formations and depositional sequences in these different locations in the basin. They show the manner in which the underlying platform formed, the rim developed, the source rock was deposited and the basin progressively filled. The blanket deposition of the Arab-D anhydrite was followed by the Arab-C to Arab-A and Hith carbonate and evaporite sequences. The cross-sections provide the framework used in subsequent chapters to make a series of facies maps and other interpretative diagrams and cross-sections that summarize and, for some intervals, revise the interpretation of the settings and geological events that formed the Arabian Intrashelf Basin.
Chapter 5 Interpretation of the origin and evolution of the Arabian Intrashelf Basin and the development of the Dhruma Atash, Tuwaiq and Hanifa sequences Available to Purchase
Abstract This is the first of two chapters in which the data presented in the first four chapters of this Memoir are reviewed and interpreted. A summary cross-section across the basin from the Saudi outcrop to Abu Dhabi and the Tethyan margin is used to summarize the regional setting and sequences as interpreted in this Memoir. The key points illustrated by the summary cross-section are stated and discussed in the first part of this chapter. Two different interpretations for the eastern margin of the intrashelf basin are reviewed. In the first of these interpretations, the margin with the deeper waters of the Tethys Ocean shelf is adjacent to the intrashelf basin rim in Abu Dhabi, whereas in the second, preferred in this Memoir, a broad, shallow Tethyan shelf platform (200–300 km wide) extends from the intrashelf basin rim to the Tethys continental shelf edge. The implications of Late Jurassic exposure and erosion on the adjacent Tethyan shelf are discussed. The development of the Arabian Intrashelf Basin during the Callovian–late Oxfordian (the Tuwaiq Mountain Formation, the source rock and the Hanifa intervals and associated sequences) is interpreted and discussed with illustrations, including step-by-step facies maps. The interpretation integrates depositional, eustatic and tectonic factors in the evolution of the intrashelf basin. The interpretation in this Memoir is that the Arabian Intrashelf Basin began with isostatic and extensional subsidence on top of a broad Dhruma Atash Member platform, which had largely filled the accommodation space up to the wave base and to near sea-level. It developed fully into an intrashelf basin during the deposition of the Callovian Tuwaiq sequence, with rising sea-levels coincident with a productive shallow water carbonate factory resulting in a rim of shallow water carbonate. An end-Callovian to early Oxfordian lowstand terminated the Tuwaiq sequence on the basin rim. During the lowstand, restricted conditions in the basin deposited the rich Lower Hanifa source rock as a lowstand systems tract. As more normal conditions returned in a subsequent sequence, the source rock facies graded upwards into Hanifa reservoir facies, which partially filled the basin. Hanifa progradation was terminated by another lowstand during which a subaqueous gypsum/anhydrite marker bed was deposited in at least part of the remnant basin. Earlier interpretations of these sequences are also discussed.

Abstract This volume is intended to generate ideas for the future exploration of immature and mature basins across the Tethyan Region. From the Paleozoic to the Cenozoic, the Arabian Plate, North Africa and parts of Southern Eurasia, were on the margin of a series of Tethys seaways, Proto-Tethys, Paleo-Tethys, and Neo-Tethys. These areas evolved together and as a result they have numerous similarities in their tectono-stratigraphic history and petroleum systems. These similarities could be used to extrapolate proven petroleum systems to underexplored areas and lead to hydrocarbon discoveries. The back cover illustrates the countries that evolved along the Tethyan Region in their present day location. Countries covered in this volume are outlined.
