Stratigraphy

• Pre-Rift
  • Basement Rocks: Granite – meta sediments
  •                                  New Hot Target – Still unexplored
  • Kohlan:                Clastics
  • Shuqra:                 Shallow marine limestone

• Syn-Rift
  • Madbi Shale: Main source rocks
  • Madbi (Meem/Lam):        Mainly limestone – Mudstone.

In depocentre  south of Central

Basin High truing to clastics

• Post rift 1 (Rift Reactivation)
  • Lower Sabatayn:              Limestone, dolomited limestone
  • Sabatayn Salt:                  Salt–anhydrite – minor interbedding
  • Naifa:                                 limestone – shale (Saar)
  •                                             mature source rocks to the west

• Post rift 2 (Rift Reactivation)
  • Qishn:          Clastics (west)–carbonite/shale (east)
  • Tawila:          Clastics – water reservoir
