Depositional Environment of Middle Jurassic Sargelu Formation Based on Petrographical Study in selected wells at Balad, Ajil, and Baiji Oilfields, Central Iraq
Abstract:This work were carried out on 193 thin sections from Middle Jurassic Sargelu Formation. These samples are from three wells (Ajil-8, Balad-1 and Baiji-1). Petrographically, the Sargelu Formation composed of skeletal component (radiolaria, pelecypods, calcispheres, planktonic, benthonic foraminifera and ostracods), in addition non-skeletal such as pellets, groundmass of micrite and recrystallized microspars. Many diagenetic processes affected this formation the main which have been recognized are: compaction, mi… Show more
