Abstract:

Mesopotamian Zone is a foreland basin formed by a collision between Arabian and Iranian plates. A subsurface structural study made for Mesopotamian area based on the information of the oil wells, which were used in the construction of five structural cross-sections. The sections reveal information about the difference in thickness of sedimentary formations in the basin during the geological time of Mesozoic and Cenozoic Era. As well as studied the most important reasons for the formation of surface and subsurface structures, which are attributed to three main reasons: the basement rocks and their longitudinal and transverse faults, tectonic movements that happened to the region as well as the role of salt layers or structures and their rush to the top.
