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 ... -
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 ... -
Impact of the demise mechanisms of the Cretaceous rudist buildups in the Arabian Plate on their reservoir characteristics
( Springer Berlin Heidelberg , 2017 , Article)Rudist buildups form the major oil-producing reservoirs in the Cretaceous carbonate strata of the Arabian Plate. They are the main components of the Shuaiba and Mishrif and to lesser extent, the Natih, Mauddud, Simsima, ... -
Baseline concentrations and distributions of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in surface sediments from the Qatar marine environment
( Elsevier , 2017 , Article)Coastal sediments in marine waters of Qatar have the potential of being contaminated by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) due to extensive petroleum exploration and transportation activities within Qatar's ... -
Uncovering the immunological repertoire of the carpet shell clam Ruditapes decussatus through a transcriptomic-based approach
( Elsevier B.V. on behalf of KeAi Communications Co. , 2019 , Article)The grooved carpet-shell clam Ruditapes decussatus is native to the Northern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea and has a high commercial value. It is one of the main native bivalve species cultured in Europe. The main ... -
A MALDI-TOF study of bio-remediation in highly weathered oil contaminated soils
( Elsevier , 2018 , Article)We have shown that Bacillus cereus is dominating the bacterial population at three polluted oil-industry sites where weather and soil conditions are extreme in terms of temperature, UV-radiation and salinity. A minor ... -
The importance of microbial mats for dolomite formation in the Dohat Faishakh sabkha, Qatar
( Springer Verlag , 2015 , Article)The Dohat Faishakh sabkha in Qatar is one of the rare modern environments where it is possible to study the formation of dolomite, a mineral whose origin has been long debated. In previous studies, dolomite formation in ... -
Qatar’s vision of global problems, challenges and solutions

( Taylor & Francis , 2015 , Article)In the State of Qatar, recent statistics show a continued increase in the motor-vehicle fleet commensurate with population growth and economic development. This trend, together with the rapid expansion of urban areas and ... -
Investigating chlorophyll and nitrogen levels of mangroves at Al-Khor, Qatar: an integrated chemical analysis and remote sensing approach. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
( Springer Verlag , 2016 , Article)Mangroves are unique ecosystems that dominate tropical and subtropical coastlines around the world. They provide shelter and nursery to wide variety of species such as fish and birds. Around 73 species of mangroves were ... -
Evaluation of Satellite Retrievals of Chlorophyll-a in the Arabian Gulf
( MDPI , 2017 , Article)The Arabian Gulf is a highly turbid, shallow sedimentary basin whose coastal areas have been classified as optically complex Case II waters (where ocean colour sensors have been proved to be unreliable). Yet, there is no ... -
Insights into molecular features of venerupis decussata oocytes: A microarray-based study
( Public Library of Science , 2014 , Article)The production of Venerupis decussata relies on wild seed collection, which has been recently compromised due to recruitment failure and severe mortalities. To address this issue and provide an alternative source of seed, ... -
Two-stage cultivation of a Nannochloropsis mutant for biodiesel feedstock
( Springer Verlag , 2015 , Article)Optimization of mass microalgae cultures is required for the efficient production of biodiesel feedstock in terms of total fatty acid (TFA) content and a conducive fatty acid profile. A mutant strain of Nannochloropsis sp. ...
