TL;DR: Aqrawi et al. as mentioned in this paper reviewed books about the petroleum geology of Iraq and concluded that: "The petroleum geologies of Iraq are very diverse and diverse, and the geology is not static".

TL;DR: The sedimentary rock sequence in the oilfield areas of Interior Oman ranges from the Late Proterozoic through Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Tertiary, and a number of major gaps or changes in sedimentation are recognised, and these punctuate a subdivision into major rock units ranked as groups as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The sedimentary rock sequence in the oilfield areas of Interior Oman ranges from the Late Proterozoic through Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Tertiary. A number of major gaps or changes in sedimentation are recognised, and these punctuate a subdivision into major rock units ranked as groups. Eleven named groups are recognised: in stratigraphic order from oldest Huqf (Upper Proterozoic), through Haima (Lower Paleozoic), Misfar (Devonian), Haushi and Akhdar (Carboniferous to Triassic), Sahtan (Jurassic), Kahmah (Lower Cretaceous), Wasia (Middle Cretaceous), Aruma (Upper Cretaceous), Hadhramaut (Paleogene) to Fars (Neogene). Most of these groups are further subdivided and 35 named formations are described giving lithologic characteristics, boundaries, inferred age span and van-ability. These descnptions, together with reference well sections indicating wire-line Iog characteristics, provide a sufficient basis for consistent future use of the rock units.

TL;DR: The extrusive salt plugs in the "gently folded zone" of the Zagros mountain belt are almost exclusively composed of Hormuz evaporites carrying exotic blocks, originating, at depths of 3.5 km below surface, dated as mainly late Precambrian as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a major suppression of vitrinite reflectance (Ro) by significant concentrations of exinite macerals (Type I and Type II kerogen) was identified.
Abstract: Vitrinite reflectance (Ro) is regarded as one of the most, if not the most, powerful tools available to petroleum organic geochemistry. Yet major recognized and unrecognized problems exist concerning use of the technique. One such unrecognized problem is a major suppression of Ro by significant concentrations of exinite macerals (Type I and Type II kerogen) in association with vitrinite macerals.
