GeoArabia Special Publication 5
Lexicon of Oman Subsurface Stratigraphy

The Lexicon of Oman Subsurface Stratigraphy is a reference and practical, operational guide for all those involved with the subsurface geology of Oman. It will be equally at home surrounded by bags of wet ditch cuttings samples and binocular microscopes in the mudlogging unit of a drilling well or on the leather trimmed desk of a learned university professor. It provides a systematic overview of the current state of knowledge of the stratigraphy of Oman’s hydrocarbon basins. The Lexicon will help the wellsite geologist pick his formation tops, whilst for the production geologist or the explorationist it provides the geological context to review, correlate and understand their reservoir, seal or hydrocarbon system. Academics can use it as the starting point for their investigation of any aspect of the geology of Oman or indeed even the wider Arabian Plate. It provides a top to bottom review of the geology with brief insights into some of the major ongoing academic debates. Not all questions are answered, or even attempted to be answered but the reader will find directions to extensive reference material (there are 18 pages of references). Illustrations include almost 150 well panels together with lithologies, fossils and location maps.

ISBN 978-99901-10-56-2

GeoArabia Special Publication 4
Barremian – Aptian stratigraphy and hydrocarbon habitat of the eastern Arabian Plate

Barremian – Aptian stratigraphy and hydrocarbon habitat of the eastern Arabian Plate comprises 18 papers covering one of the most hydrocarbon-rich stratigraphic intervals in the Middle East. They were written over a period of two and a half years by more than 60 authors and co-authors from industry, academia, geological surveys and research organisations, and reviewed by 34 experts and the four editors (F.S.P. van Buchem, M.I. Al-Husseini, F. Maurer and H.J. Droste).

The two volumes are the fourth of the series of GeoArabia Special Publications. They are presented in 614 pages including more than 300 graphics and several large enclosures, which illustrate a vast array of new multi-disciplinary data and interpretations in high-resolution, color-matched designs. The graphics illustrate fossils, chemostratigraphic curves, 2-D and 3-D seismic, well logs, core, outcrop photos, maps and much more. Every paper starts with a figure showing its study area on a common late Early Aptian palaeogeographic basemap, followed by a stratigraphic figure comparing the local stratigraphy to that of the Arabian Plate synthesis; and in the GTS 2004 time scale. These two figures carry the reader's eyes effortlessly across all the papers.

The major improvement of our understanding of the Barremian – Aptian carbonate strata can be directly applied by petroleum geoscientist and engineers, both at the reservoir and exploration scales. It sets an example for an integrated approach that is equally applicable to other stratigraphic intervals.

The glacio-eustatic, sea-level fluctuations recorded in the Arabian Plate are believed to have a global expression which suggests the here presented conceptual models can be extrapolated to other plates and basins.

Stratigraphic Lexicon of Iraq
Lexique Stratigraphique International, Asie (Iraq)

The Stratigraphic Lexicon of Iraq was published by CNRS Editions, France, in 1959. Today, this book continues to serve as one of the foremost sources of information on the geology of Iraq and the Arabian Peninsula. But over the years it has become difficult to find a copy of this important book. It is for this reason that GeoArabia, with the permission of CNRS Editions and the sponsorship of the Ministry of Oil of Iraq and Chevron, has undertaken to reprint this classic.

The lexicon serves as a good introduction to the geology of Iraq for students, geologists, geophysicists and petroleum engineers. The introductory section, General Outline of Stratigraphy, starts in the Ordovician Period – some 450 million years ago – and narrates how the formations were successively deposited during repeated sea-level cycles of transgression and regression.

Authors: R.C. van Bellen, H.V. Dunnington, R. Wetzel and D.M. Morton under the direction of Louis Dubertret.

GeoArabia Special Publication by Kenneth W. Glennie
The Desert of Southeast Arabia

Desert studies help us predict possible future changes to the environment and how to avoid damaging it. In this book, Ken Glennie takes us on a journey back in time to when Arabia was a much greener place, and he explains how global climate made it so barren.

Ken started writing this book 10 years ago for students, which is why it contains an extensive Glossary at the back; yet, its simplicity, detailed descriptions and illustrations will undoubtedly appeal to students, desert travelers and scientists. After many modifications and revisions, his book now provides a different perspective to a well-known topic.

Hardbound, 215 pages, over 200 colored illustrations, photos and satellite images.

GeoArabia Special Publication 3
Carboniferous, Permian and Early Triassic Arabian Stratigraphy

The Middle East Permian-Triassic Khuff carbonate reservoirs contain about 15–20% of world’s non-associated gas reserves. Below the Khuff carbonates, the Carboniferous-Permian Al Khlata, Gharif and Unayzah clastic reservoirs contain billions of barrels of oil, gas and condensate reserves. All these reservoirs range across southern Arabia, a region of about one million square kilometres. GeoArabia Special Publication 3 (SP3) presents a comprehensive tectono-stratigraphic analysis of the formations that hold these important hydrocarbon resources.

Authors: John Aitken, Aida Al-Harthy, Moujahed Al-Husseini, Farida Al-Zadjali, Lucia Angiolini, Nigel Clark, Sylvie Crasquin-Soleau, Neil Jones, Robert Knox, Guy Oliver, Peter Osterloff, Randall Penney, Jean-Pierre Platel, Jack Roger, Pieter Spaak, Michael Stephenson, Daniel Vachard, Denis Vaslet, and Glen Williams.

Editor: Moujahed Al-Husseini. 221 pages, over 118 illustrations. 2004

GeoArabia Special Publication 2
Arabian Plate Sequence Stratigraphy

Arabian Plate Sequence Stratigraphy is the first publication to present a modern sequence stratigraphic review of the entire Arabian Plate stratigraphic succession, extending from the Mediterranean to the Gulf of Aden, and from the Red Sea to the Zagros suture. Biostratigraphic, lithostratigraphic, sedimentological, geochemical, oil industry and other data have been reviewed from the literature and re-presented to illustrate the tectonic and stratigraphic evolution of the plate. Key well logs, cross-sections, outcrop photos and other data are presented in full colour to illustrate the location and correlation of maximum flooding surfaces and unconformities. These key stratal surfaces allow an assessment of the geometric relationship between source rocks, reservoirs and seals.

Authors: Peter R. Sharland, Raymond Archer, David M. Casey, Roger B. Davies, Stephen H. Hall, Alan P. Heward, Andrew D. Horbury, and Michael D. Simmons.
372 pages, over 140 illustrations/photographs, nearly 1,000 references. 2001

Stratigraphic Palynology of the Paleozoic of Saudi Arabia
Knowledge of the Palaeozoic biostratigraphy of the Arabian Peninsula, situated close to the northern margin of Gondwana, was poorly known until a joint special project was held by the Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) and the Commission Internationale de Microflore du Paléozoïque (CIMP) in 1990. Prior to that only a small number of investigations had been published. Few efforts had been made to exploit the stratigraphic potentials of the many undescribed indigenous microfossils. The joint Saudi Aramco-CIMP project was designed to reverse that situation. Comprehensive studies were carried out on a range of microfossil groups throughout the Palaeozoic and results were published in 1995, and in this book in 2000.

Authors: Sa’id Al-Hajri, Mansour Al-Ruwaili, Geoffrey Clayton, John Filatoff, Alain Le Hérissé, Ken T. Higgs, Stanislas Loboziak, John E.A. Marshall, Stewart G. Molyneux, Bernard Owens, Florentin Paris, Jacques Verniers, Philippe Steemans, Michael H. Stephenson, and Charles H. Wellman.

Editors: Sa’id Al-Hajri and Bernard Owens. 231 pages, 40 plates/62 illustrations. 2000
