Title: Tectonic controls on the stratigraphic architecture and hydrocarbons systems of the Arabian Plate

Conference ·
OSTI ID:542915

Arabian Platform sediments consist of major sequences separated by tectonically controlled unconformities. These tectonic events, at the plate margins, controlled the orientation and distribution of sedimentary facies on the stable platform. Eustacy and subsidence were the principle controls on the actual facies that formed.
