Abstract

After a Previous HitphaseTop of InfraCambrian and Early Cambrian intra-continental extension and rifting, the Arabian and adjoining plates formed a part of the stable shelf in Gondwanaland from the Middle Cambrian through the Ordovician. The InfraCambrian-Early Cambrian syn-rift sedimentary sequences include organically-rich source rocks and evaporites, while the Cambro-Ordovician rocks include widespread sandstones which constitute a reservoir.
