An integrated description of the stratigraphy and depositional environment of the “Main Pay” member of the Zubair Formation, Rumaila, Iraq

Boris Kostic

Introduction •  Rumaila location and Redevelopment Plan objectives •  Early Cretaceous stratigraphic, palaeogeographic and palaeoclimatic context

Database and workflow •  Core and image log coverage and interpretation workflow •  Hierarchical integrated sedimentological and palynological description: depositional processes, genetic elements and delta advance-retreat cycles •  Use of image logs in interpreting away from cored wells and developing the depositional model

Business implications and conclusions •  A depositional model for the “Main Pay” of Rumaila •  Identifying bypassed oil through integrated subsurface description
