oa Review of the Permian–Triassic Gas Play in the Arabian Gulf Region

Significant amounts of non-associated gas reserves are proven from the Permian–Triassic Khuff-Dalan play across the Arabian Gulf region (Figure 1). This play is part of the Paleozoic petroleum system that is mainly sourced by the base Qusaiba hot shale of the Silurian Qalibah Formation. It is sealed by the Triassic Sudair-Aghar shales (Figure 2) and trapped in high relief, north-trending anticlines or salt domes.
