... Abstract The Upper Shuaiba formation, located in the North of the Sultanate of Oman, consists of complex clinoform structures characterized by their depositional patterns and lateral facies variations. Despite numerous penetrations from lower hydrocarbon-bearing zones, its commercial discovery...

... the various upper Shuaiba clinoforms which are separated by clay rich units. After completing a consistence correlation of all the individual upper Shuaiba units, two set of thickness maps were created i.e., cumulative thickness maps in reference to the base of upper Shuaiba and individual unit thickness maps...

... the prograding part while the Semb-3 sequence is in the retrograding part of 2nd order sequence. Seismic data represents that the Sembar Formation has well-developed clinoforms dominated by river systems, prograding from east to west. A forced regressive wedge has been identified just above the Semb-2 sequence...

... environment for a carbonate factory. Shallow water depth and frequent sea level fluctuations created several thin clinoform sequences. These fourth order sequences are observed to have an average thickness of ~20ms and are often restricted within two seismic reflectors. The orientation of the clinoforms is NW...

... Abstract The study area covers 1,300 km2 in southeastern Abu Dhabi and focuses on the Aptian (Apt.) 5 Upper Shuaiba progradational clinoform system. The Shuaiba Formation has been well-studied at the regional level, but with comparatively less focus on the Apt. 5 system. Studying depositional...

Initial interpretation results confirm the challenge to interpret actual clinoform shapes at the Aptian level. Furthermore...

...), casing while drilling (CWD), and steering assembly were deployed to build safely in unstable shale and land at a high angle within the reservoir close to the roof in a relatively slim hydrocarbon column.

...Introduction The Mishrif formation in Abu Dhabi comprises progradational shelf margin facies. The western platform sediments are characterized by stacked clinoforms of clean high energy carbonates, with generally good reservoir properties at the top deteriorating gradually toward the west...
