I had the pleasure of giving a talk at the Israel Geological Conference last Tuesday. A big milestone! We have completed the first set of maps for a half of Israel (southern and central parts). In the region there are evidences of one extensional phase - Early Jurassic, one compressional - Late Cretaceous followed by fast subsidence in Tertiary. Tectonics were complemented with at least three periods of erosion - Early Cretaceous, late Eocene (submarine) and the Messinian.  All these events resulted in dramatic velocity changes. Under #Mosestro Exploration supervision we’ve reprocessed around 7000 km of seismic 2D. Integrated it with data from 360 wells (well logs, mudlogs, velocity and biostratigraphy). And as a result we developed robust velocity model and produced really accurate depth maps. Special thanks to my colleagues @Yuval Bartov, @Yuri Volozh for their inputs and mentoring. #MosestroExploration, #EasternMediterranean, #SeismicInterpretation, #VelocityModeling

Looking at logs the wrong way: In carbonate reservoirs, the log response can be cryptic. The boundary between actual geological relevance and log artifact is thinner than a thin bed. The Natih (Mishrif / Maudud / Sarvak) is more heterogenous that his older brother the Thamama. in the Northern Emirates, thanks to nice outcrops exposure, we can see the variations in the GR log correspond to marl streaks separating cleaner limestone beds. What do you think about the sweep efficiency? What would be the best development for this interval? GeomodL International is organizing small group geological field trips in the UAE to illustrate key subsurface reservoir aspects that are often misunderstood.

Let's explore the intriguing Turonian unconformity in Oman. 🌄 1. Turonian Unconformity: - The Turonian unconformity is a significant geological feature in Oman. - It occurs within the Natih Formation, which spans the Late Albian to Turonian time interval (approximately 103.6–89.0 million years ago). - Here are the key points about this unconformity: - The Natih Formation mainly consists of limestones and is separated from the underlying Albian shales of the Nahr Umr Formation by the Natih Sequence Boundary. - The top of the Natih Formation represents a regional subaerial exposure surface, incised by channels with depths reaching 150–200 meters. - During the Lower Coniacian stage, marine shales (known as the Muti Formation at outcrop or the Shargi Member of the Fiqa Formation in subsurface) transgressed over this surface. - Over paleohighs, the lower part of the Fiqa, Natih, and older formations experienced erosion due to the Campanian angular Intra-Fiqa Unconformity. This unconformity is attributed to far-field compressional tectonism along the margins of the Arabian Plate. - Interestingly, there's a hiatus (approximately 810,000 years) near the end of Orbiton 7 (around 89.8–89.0 million years ago) correlated with the Turonian/Coniacian boundary. This hiatus corresponds to a Late Turonian – earliest Coniacian biostratigraphic break at the Sub-Fiqa Unconformity. - The hiatus is unrelated to the structural deformation in Interior Oman (known as the First Alpine Event), which occurred about 10 million years later during Campanian time. 2. Additional Insight: - The Turonian unconformity subcrops the Wasia Group under the overlying Fiqa shale of the Aruma Group in north Oman. - Regional factors, such as uplift and erosion, contributed to the patchy nature of these units, while local factors include salt movements and fault influences.

In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the various types of volcanic hazards, their causes, and the measures to mitigate their impact. Whether you’re a student, a geology enthusiast, or someone living in a volcanic-prone region, this article will provide you with essential insights into volcanic hazards. https://lnkd.in/eCbMGuWc

As we navigate maps today, it's worth remembering the proverb "When you eat the fruit, think of the man who planted the tree." In this case, let's acknowledge Glen F. Brown and the countless individuals who contributed to this invaluable resource that continues to benefit us all. A special thanks to Rami Kamal for sharing this article, highlighting a piece of history that many would otherwise have to delve years into libraries to uncover.
