Structural Control on Permo-Triassic Deposition in the Central Arabian Plate: A Multi-scale Approach

A multi-scale analysis integrating structural concepts, local seismic data and well correlations across the Central<br>Arabian Plate demonstrates that the thickness and facies distributions of one of the most important hydrocarbon<br>reservoirs in the Middle East, the Khuff carbonate, are strongly controlled not only by the structural relief at time<br>of deposition but also by the reactivation of the basement structural fabric related to Permo-Triassic tectonic<br>events.
