MID-CRETACEOUS RUDIST-BEARING CARBONATES OF THE MISHRIF FORMATION: AN IMPORTANT RESERVOIR SEQUENCE IN THE MESOPOTAMIAN BASIN, IRAQ

A. A. M. Aqrawi*, G. A. Thehni**, G. H. Sherwani, and B. M. A. Kareem#

This paper reports on the sedimentology and stratigraphy of the mid-Cretaceous Mishrif Formation, one of the principal carbonate reservoirs in Central and Southern Iraq. The Cenomanian Mahilban, Maotsi and Fahad Carbonate Formations of Central Iraq are the lateral chronostratigraphical equivalents of the Mishrif and underlying Rumaila Formations of Southern Iraq. Together, these units represent a single mid-Cretaceous carbonate succession in the Mesopotamian Basin.
