Why Al-Jabal Al-Akhdhar?

Oman provides proximal analogues for other MENA countries in innovative exploration plays,

developing methods and production profiles of sub Infra-Cambrian Precambrian reservoirs,

Paleozoic reservoirs (Cambro-Ordovician sandstones and Permian Khuff carbonates), Mesozoic

reservoirs (Mishrif and Shuaiba Reservoirs) and Cenozoic reservoirs yet to be explored in other

MENA countries.

This fieldtrip target area is Wadi Al Muaydin (Figure 1) which cuts through the southern flank of

the autochtonous series of Al Jabal Al Akhdhar anticline (Figure 2).

Scale in Km 0_________________100


Since the early days of hydrocarbon exploration in Oman, Wadi Al Muaydin was used as an

easily-accessed window to study the North Oman subsurface formation, including the prolific

Natih and Shuaiba carbonate reservoirs.

The Mesozoic formations from the Triassic Mahil (Jilh-Sudair) Upper Khuff ?equivalent in the

subsurface nomenclature) to the Upper Cretaceous Muti (Fiqa equivalent) are easily accessible

along the wadi floor (Figure 3). The terrain at the lower end of the wadi in the area of Birkat Al

Mawz is occupied by over-thrusted Mesozoic sediments of the Hawasina Nappes.
