Abstract
The Albian Cenomanian sea level curve is fairly understood, at the 3rd order, inthe Middle East region. We present here an exhaustive stratigraphic framework for<br>the Burgan, Mauddud and Wara formations of the Greater Burgan field of Kuwait thatis constrained in terms of accommodation depth of deposition and then<br>relativebase level variation.28 stratigraphic sequences (of 4th order) are recognized and propagated over 45cored wells throughout the entire field. Each of these<br>sequences is characterizedin terms of sedimentary facies and fossil / ichnofossils content from detailedcore description.For each sequence, an accommodation<br>depth of deposition is then assigned takinginto consideration facies changing along the slope of the basin.
