This book presents a comprehensive, up-to-date appraisal of the reservoir rocks, source rocks, seals and traps that control Iraq’s petroleum resources. Early chapters review the history of the oil industry in Iraq and outline Iraq’s tectonic setting and evolution. A five-chapter section on stratigraphic elements, arranged by megasequence, is followed by an assessment of Iraq’s petroleum systems. The book provides an invaluable source of information for petroleum geologists and other researchers.
