The Aptian-Lower Campanian Mardin Group is deposited on the shelf-to-intrashelf part of
a passive continental margin of the Arabian plate. Relative sea level changes in the
Cretaceous are responsible for three main shallowing-upward cycles that produced three
reservoir
intervals separated from each other by source and/or seal intervals. Each of the
cycles is underlain and overlain by unconformity surfaces.
Structurally, the oil fields of the overthrust frontal zone and the foreland area studied are represented by the Cretaceous imbricated structures and the Miocene wrench system, respectively. Large accumulations of hydrocarbons have been trapped along both the east-west elongated, narrow, and asymmetrical thrusted anticlines of the imbricated zone and the northeast-southwest-trending en echelon anticlines of the wrench system.
