Chlorophyll-a concentrations in the Arabian Gulf waters of arid region: A case study from the northern coast of Qatar
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Remote sensing of spectrally active Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) in the gulf water of an arid region is important to understand the spatial and temporal variations of phytoplankton and biomass in the water. This study characterizes ... -
Contribution of the Zubair source rocks to the generation and expulsion of oil to the reservoirs of the Mesopotamian Basin, Southern Iraq
( Taylor & Francis , 2019 , Article)The huge quantities of oil and gas reserved in the fields of southern Iraq must be matched by enough source rocks that can generate and expel equivalent amounts of hydrocarbons. This study is an attempt to evaluate the ... -
Empirical Relation for Capillary Pressure in Shale
( Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) , 2022 , Article)Brooks and Corey (1964) and van Genuchten (1980) proposed the two most widely used relations for approximating capillary pressure. Petroleum engineers apply both, but they were originally proposed to understand the moisture ... -
Evaluation of the source rock potential of the Unyazah Formation (late Carboniferous-Early Permian) in Dukhan Field, Qatar
( Taylor & Francis (Routledge) , 2019 , Article)Twenty samples were collected from the Unayzah Formation in three wells from Dukhan Field, Qatar. Many samples were of poor quality due to the low TOC content containing gas prone-kerogen type III and IV. The Rock-Eval ... -
Geochemical investigation of Yamama crude oils and their inferred source rocks in the Mesopotamian Basin, Southern Iraq
( Taylor & Francis , 2019 , Article)Ten oil samples from the Yamama reservoirs and ten extracts of purported source rocks from sixteen wells in the Mesopotamian Basin, Southern Iraq have been analyzed using GC, GC/MS and Stable Carbon Isotope. Yamama oils ... -
Halul and Sharao islands, offshore Qatar: Remnants of the great infracambrian Hormuz Salt basin
( springer link , 2004 , Article)Halul and Sharao islands, offshore Qatar, are among more than 200 islands in the Gulf region, which are believed to have formed by salt diapirism sourced in the Infracambrian Hormuz Salt Series. The islands are composed ... -
History of a disaster: A baseline assessment of the Wakashio oil spill on the coast of Mauritius, Indian Ocean
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Oil spills from tanker ships provide adverse and irreversible impacts of a pollutant over coastal and marine environments. Using Sentinel-1 and 2 satellite images, this baseline paper presents the detection, assessment, ... -
Lithology, mineral assemblages and microbial fingerprints of the evaporite-carbonate sediments of the coastal sabkha of Abu Dhabi and their extraterrestrial implications
( cambridge university press , 2010 , Article)Deep-core and surface samples collected from the coastal sabkha of Abu Dhabi were subjected to a multi-proxy study, including petrographic, geochemical and spectroscopic analyses. The sediments studied are composed of ... -
Long-term assessment of onshore and offshore wind energy potentials of Qatar
( MDPI AG , 2021 , Article)Exploitation of conventional energy resources has caused a deliberate increase in the emitted carbon in the atmosphere, which catalyzes global warming trends. This is a matter of concern, especially in Qatar, where fossil ... -
Source rock evaluation and petroleum generation of the Lower Cretaceous Yamama Formation: Its ability to contribute to generating and expelling petroleum to cretaceous reservoirs of the Mesopotamian Basin, Iraq
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)The Yamama Formation is an important reservoir as well as a good source rocks in many of the oilfields of the southern Mesopotamian Basin, Iraq. The formation represents a regressive cycle deposited in a shallow carbonate ...
