Implication

Microfacies analysis reveals distinct depositional environments in Hartha and Shiranish formations, indicating implications for hydrocarbon exploration.

Key Points

Identified eight microfacies showcasing paleoenvironmental transitions from shallow marine to deep basin settings in the Hartha Formation.
Sequence stratigraphic analysis registered transgressive-regressive cycles in the succession, highlighting regional unconformities' role in facies distribution.
The Hartha Formation contains distinct facies transitions, which enhance the understanding of depositional cyclicity and basin evolution.
High-resolution facies analysis and wireline log methods support potential increases in hydrocarbon exploration in the northern Arabian Plate.
