THE TECTONIC AND DEPOSITIONAL HISTORY OF KUWAIT
FROM SEISMIC REFLECTION DATA
F. Bou-Rabee*
A series of structural and isopach maps have been
constructed to model the tectonic history of Kuwait. These indicate that the geological
history of the country has been one of general subsidence, interrupted on a number of
occasions by periods of uplift. A major unconformity in the mid-Cretaceous is observed
above the Burgan High, which is a structure of great importance for hydrocarbon
accumulation. The thinning of sediments, as seen on the isopach maps, suggests that the
development of this structure began as early as the Jurassic.
