The recent publication of GTS 2004 (Gradstein et al., 2004) provides an opportunity to recalibrate in time the late Carboniferous, Permian and Early Traissic Arabian Stratigraphy (GeoArabia Special Publication 3, Edited by Al-Husseini, 2004) as represented by the rock units in subsurface Interior Oman (Osterloff et al., 2004a, b) and the Haushi-Huqf Uplift region (Angiolini et al., 2004) (Figure). Additionally, sequence stratigraphic models of orbital forcing (Matthews and Frohlich, 2002; Immenhauser and Matthews, 2004) provide new insights in regards to the time calibration of depositional sequences: the “Rosetta Stone” approach. The Rosetta Stone approach predicts that the period of a third-order depositional sequence is 2.430 ± 0.405 my (denoted DS3 and here adjusted to increase the fourth-order ‘geological tuning fork’ from 0.404 to 0.405 my based on Laskar et al., 2004). The present calibration is also tied to the orbital-forcing model developed by R.K. Matthews (in Al-Husseini and Matthews, 2005; this issue of GeoArabia) that predicts that a second-order depositional sequence (denoted DS2) consists of six DS3s that were deposited in a period of about 14.58 my (6 x 2.430 my); the DS2 being bounded by two regional second-order sequence boundaries (SB2) corresponding to sea-level maximum regression surfaces.

Transgressive–regressive (T–R) sequence analysis has been applied to the Jurassic succession of the Sverdrup Basin with sequence boundaries drawn at subaerial unconformities or the correlative transgressive surfaces. A hierarchal system of sequence order that reflects the different nature of the boundaries has been formulated on the basis of boundary characteristics. Second- through fifth-order sequences have been recognized in the Jurassic succession, which itself is part of a first-order sequence of mid-Permian – Early Cretaceous age.The Jurassic strata occur within four second-order sequences. The boundaries of these sequences are characterized by widespread subaerial unconformities across which major changes in depositional and subsidence regimes occur. These boundaries are earliest Rhaetian, earliest Pliensbachian, earliest Bajocian, earliest Oxfordian, and Hauterivian in age.Each second-order sequence is divisible into a number of third-order sequences bounded mainly by basin-wide transgressive surfaces with subaerial unconformities present on the basin margins. The ages of the 10 Jurassic third-order sequences are Rhaetian – Hettangian, Sinemurian, Pliensbachian – Toarcian, late Toarcian – Aalenian, Bajocian, Bathonian, Callovian, Oxfordian – early Kimmeridgian, late Kimmeridgian – early Tithonian, and late Tithonian. The third-order sequences commonly contain three to six fourth-order sequences. These sequences are bound entirely by transgressive surfaces that can be correlated only over a portion of the basin.A good correlation between the second- and third-order transgressive events of the Sverdrup Basin and proposed global events is observed. This worldwide occurrence suggests that the events in part reflect eustatic sea-level changes. The characteristics of the second- and third-order boundaries also indicate that each had a tectonic influence that resulted in a rapid relative sea-level fall (uplift) followed by a rapid rise (subsidence). Given the apparent combination of tectonic and eustatic influence on the generation of the second- and third-order sequence boundaries, they are interpreted to reflect significant plate-tectonic reorganizations that affected the intraplate stress regimes of the oceanic (eustatic) and continental (tectonic) portions of each lithospheric plate.

The Rimthan Arch, situated between the Arabian carbonate platform and the Gotnia intrashelf basin, represents a world class hydrocarbon province in Saudi Arabia. Middle to Upper Jurassic shallow-water depositional sequences are associated with productive hydrocarbon fields in which challenges exist in defining exploration targets, mainly stratigraphic trap plays. An attempt is made to investigate the basin depositional architecture on the flank of the Arch and also to model the stratigraphic trap potential of the youngest Arab third-order sequence. The basin architecture, stratal geometries, and impact of tectonics are explored using 3D seismic and well data. Seismic chronostratigraphy, seismic stratigraphy, seismic attribute, and log-based reservoir heterogeneity techniques are applied as an integrated approach to interpret the sequences from basin to reservoir scale. The study identifies two second-order sequences, SEQ 1 and SEQ 2, to frame a 3D geologic model and to examine basin development through time. Results derived from the integrated study indicate that although initial basin subsidence began later in SEQ 1 north of the Arch, it increased appreciably during SEQ 2. The Dhruma J20 maximum flooding surface, Lower Fadhili, and Hanifa provide clues in tracking major basin changes. Seismic stratigraphy applications highlight reflection terminations and prograding stratal geometries throughout the stratigraphic section to demonstrate tectonoeustatic influences. Tectonics impact SEQ 2 more intensely than SEQ 1 and may influence the migration of hydrocarbons across juxtaposed lithologies. A complex association between shallow marine tidal and ramp carbonates, and deeper basin halite beds, is linked to the subsiding Gotnia Basin. Log-facies analysis of the Arab third-order sequence demonstrates reservoir and seal trends, including the stratigraphic entrapment potential along a carbonate ramp profile. Seismic attributes support reservoir-depositional trends and salt-bed geometries. The integrated approach provides a targeted workflow to investigate the complex depositional systems and their stratigraphic trapping potential on the Arch.

ABSTRACT The Devonian Jauf Formation (Huj Group) froms part of a regional transgressive-regressive depositional sequence that extends more than 1,500 km across the Arabian Platform from the Al Jawf outcrops in northwest Saudi Arabia, to the subsurface of eastern Saudi Arabia and Oman (Misfar Group). The formation ranges in thickness from 200–335 m in eastern Saudi Arabia to about 300–330 m in northwest Saudi Arabia. It disconformably (?unconformably) overlies the continental to shallow-marine Tawil Formation, and is unconformably overlain by the continental Jubah Formation. The Jauf Formation consists of five members that are apparently conformable; from base-up: Sha’iba Shale, Qasr Limestone, Subbat Shale, Hammamiyat Limestone and Murayr. In the Al-Qalibah reference section, it is divided into 21 informal units. The Early Devonian Emsian Hammamiyat Member represents the main marine flooding event; it consists of Hammamiyat units 1–6 each characterized by a clastic section that is capped by limestone. The Jauf Formation is interpreted as an orbital second-order depositional sequence (denoted DS2 28), which is bounded by two second-order sequence boundaries: SB2 28 = Jauf/Tawil (c. 407.6 Ma) and SB2 27 = Jubah/Jauf (c. 393.0 Ma). The Jauf Formation appears to consist of six third-order depositional sequences (DS3 28.1 to 28.6) that were deposited in the Early Devonian, ?Pragian and Emsian stages The Hammamiyat Member (DS3 28.4) is interpreted to consist of six fourth-order orbital cycles (DS4 28.4.1 to 28.4.6) each deposited in 0.405 million years.

Migration Pathways

The Campanian to Eocene succession of the Northern Bonaparte Basin contains a number of siliciclastic reservoirs which provide alternative targets to the Callovian structural plays that have dominated exploration to date. The succession is part of the Passive Margin Megasequence which extends from the Aptian to the Pliocene, and is traditionally subdivided into the Turnstone, Johnson and Grebe Formations.Prograding deltaics of the Turnstone Formation swamped an incipient Early-Campanian carbonate ramp following a second-order sequence-boundary. Five third-order sequences are recognised within the Turnstone Formation, each dominated by Lowstand (shelf-margin wedge) and Highstand Systems Tract components. A coeval basinal carbonate system resulted in the deposition of marls and lutites distal of the clastic deltaics. In the Early Paleocene, drowning of the clastic system led to the establishment of a productive carbonate ramp. Rare lowstand siliciclastic reservoirs are developed within carbonate-dominated prograding complexes, as incised valley-fill, and possibly within prominent slope canyons. In the Late Paleocene, a third-order transgression drowned the carbonate system. The Early Eocene Grebe sandstones were then deposited as a second-order lowstand package upon a prominent sequence-boundary. Subsequent flooding of the siliciclastic system resulted in the re-establishment of the prograding carbonate ramp system.The morphology of the passive-margin was strongly influenced by the interplay between sediment-supply and subsidence. The predominantly ramp-like geometry of the margin promoted the development of numerous shallow-marine lowstand reservoirs. The hydrocarbon prospectivity of each of these reservoirs is primarily controlled by the magnitude of the subsequent flooding events: Only the largest transgressions resulted in sufficient reduction of depositional energy to isolate the lowstand siliciclastics.Vertical migration remains the critical risk for all passive margin plays, as the reservoirs are separated from the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous source kitchens by up to one kilometre of claystone dominated sequences. None-the-less, the widespread occurrence of shallow hydrocarbon shows in the greater Bonaparte Basin indicates that Neogene faulting does provide locally valid migration pathways into post-rift reservoirs.

Vibrational sum-frequency generation (vSFG) spectroscopy is used to determine the molecular structure of water at the interface of palmitic acid monolayers. Both measured and calculated spectra display speci c features due to third-order contributions to the vSFG response which are associated with nite interfacial electric potentials. We demonstrate that theoretical modeling enables to separate the third-order contributions, thus allowing for a systematic analysis of the strictly surface-sensitive, second-order component of the vSFG response. This study provides fundamental, molecular-level insights into the interfacial structure of water in a neutral surfactant system with relevance to single layer bio-membranes and environmentally relevant sea-spray aerosols. These results emphasize the key role that computer simulations can play in interpreting vSFG spectra and revealing microscopic details of water at complex interfaces, which can be difficult to extract from experiments due to the mixing of second-order, surface-sensitive and third-order, bulk-dependent contributions to the vSFG response.

The kinetics of nucleophilic substitution reactions of 1-(phenoxycarbonyl)pyridinium ions, prepared with the essentially non-nucleophilic/non-basic fluoroborate as the counterion, have been studied using up to 1.60 M methanol in acetonitrile as solvent and under solvolytic conditions in 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) and its mixtures with water. Under the non- solvolytic conditions, the parent and three pyridine-ring-substituted derivatives were studied. Both second-order (first-order in methanol) and third-order (second-order in methanol) kinetic contributions were observed. In the solvolysis studies, since solvent ionizing power values were almost constant over the range of aqueous TFE studied, a Grunwald–Winstein equation treatment of the specific rates of solvolysis for the parent and the 4-methoxy derivative could be carried out in terms of variations in solvent nucleophilicity, and an appreciable sensitivity to changes in solvent nucleophilicity was found.
