Abstract

The basic mechanisms governing the hydrodynamic patterns in sedimentary basins are ultimately related to the pressure, reservoirs, water salinity and chemical composition, and the regional geological environment, all of which are interdependent. In Iraq, there are four major hydrogeological units in the Tertiary-Jurassic section, which are generally governed by two hydrodynamic systems--by gravity and by high-pressure zones.
