Abstract
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman located on the Arabian Platform, produce enormous amount of gas and oil from both the carbonate and sandstones of the Paleozoic successions. The purpose of this study to make an attempt to correlate the well-established Paleozoic Sequence Stratigraphy of Saudi Arabia with SE Turkey to promote the exploration potential and in order to understand the affect of the Aleppo and Mardin type highs form stable blocks between this intraplate deformation zone.
