Arabian Plate and Surroundings: Geology, Sedimentary Basins and Georesources, 1st ed. 2020 Regional Geology Reviews Series

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Khomsi Sami, Roure François M., Al Garni Mansour, Amin Ammar

Couverture de l’ouvrage Arabian Plate and Surroundings: Geology, Sedimentary Basins and Georesources

This book focuses on the evolution of sedimentary basins of the Arabian Plate and its surroundings. Because these sedimentary basins developed in various tectonic settings, from extensional or transtensional to flexural, transpressional or compressional, their sedimentary sequences provide unique records of the regional geology.

Georesources of the Arabian Plate are also described here, including petroleum potential, reservoirs, water resources, fresh water and deep saline aquifers, as well as materials and ore deposits. The book is made by a set of papers authored by geoscientists working in both academia and industry. Numerous chapters describe  some regional important geologic features and selected sedimentary basins from the Middle East, North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula domains. Other chapters focus on georesources. A particular focus is given to the geology of Saudi Arabia.

This book is an important contribution to the geology of the Arabian Peninsula and its surroundings. In view of the strategic and economic importance of the regional geology and georesources of the Arabian Plate and Surroundings, this volume will constitute an important reference for a wide range of geoscientists interested in the geology of this region, especially those active in petroleum geosciences and related industry. Ultimately, readers will discover important thematic maps in this book. 


​Part I: Sedimentary basins, petroleum resources and reservoirs in the Arabian plate

High-resolution stratigraphic architectures, facies anatomies of the Lower Cretaceous Biyadh and Shu’aiba formations, and their implications on platform evolution and global correlation.- The Lower Cretaceous Chouf Sandstone of Lebanon: a regional reservoir level in the Levant?.- Seismic tectono-stratigraphy and hydrocarbon implications of lowstand deep marine Oligo-Miocene siliciclastic reservoirs in the Northern Levant Basin.- Source-to-sink analysis of the Plio-Pleistocene deposits in the Suez rift (Egypt). 

Part II: Geophysics and structural styles

The Southern Atlas front in Tunisia: Regional-scale geometry and structural evolution. U-Pb zircon geochronology and geochemistry of some plutonic rocks from the Afif terrane of Saudi Arabia, Arabian Shield: implications for crustal evolution.- Aeromagnetic data investigation of Al-Shamiyya area, north east of Makkah quadrangle, Saudi Arabia.

Part III: Hydrology, hydrogeology and water resources

Groundwater contamination of Wadi Haliy area, Southwestern Arabian Shield, Saudi Arabia.-  Analysis of rainfall, missing data, frequency and PMP in Al-Madinah area, Western Saudi Arabia.- Hydrochemical assessment of groundwater within the Lower Wadi Ranyah, Western Saudi Arabia using multivariate statistical technique.

Sami Khomsi is a structural-petroleum geologist.  He got his Phd at Tunis University in 2004 and his HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) in the same university in 2015. Since 2011, he works in the Department of petroleum geology and sedimentology, and in the Geoexploration department in the faculty of Earth Sciences, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He worked also in different universities in Tunisia and France.
 Past employment within academia (research and teaching) and industry in the exploration activities: involved in many  international programs, regional exploration assets, regional synthesizes, sites survey, prospects evaluation and professional expert training (field trip leader for professionals, coaching of geoscientists...) in basin analysis involving basin modeling, structural analysis and balanced cross sections. Sami collaborated with major oil companies in Eastern Maghreb on field studies, structural analysis of fold-thrust structures, subsurface reservoir characterizations and seismic interpretations. He has also experience in geophysical methods involving fast processing and interpretation of seismic reflexion sections in terms of structural geology-investigation- evaluation of plays, characterization of fractured reservoirs and subsurface mapping.
His main research interests: Geometry, kinematics and dynamics of fold-thrust systems and foreland basins in North Africa, Middle East and the Mediterranean realm, fractured reservoir analogues, applying structural analysis and subsurface techniques in the characterizations of drillable structures and structural evaluation of traps using regional cross sections at large scale as well as structural subsurface based on regional seismic reflection profiles in different basins.
