Abstract
A new sequence-stratigraphic framework is proposed for the Burgan and Mauddud formations (Albian) of Kuwait, where together form two third-order composite sequences, the older of which constitutes the lowstand, transgressive, and highstand sequence sets of the siliciclastic Burgan. subdivided into fifteen, high-frequency, depositional sequences, Overlain by Mauddud of sand-mud prone to the south and carbonate prone to the north with its transgressive and highstand sequence sets, subdivided into eight, high-frequency, depositional sequences at time-transgressive contact with each other.
