A scientific study, entitled (The Integration of Wireline Logs and Sedimentological Data to Predict Sequence Stratigraphic Framework in Carbonate Rocks: An Example from Rumaila Formation (Cenomanian), West Qurna Oil Field, Southern Iraq), was prepared by Dr. Maher Mandel Mahdi at Basrah University with a group of researchers from the Basra Oil Company and the University of Kirkuk.
The study, published in the Scopus Q1 Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation Joyrnal, focused on the facies and stratigraphy of the Rumaila Formation in the West Qurna field, combining data from cores and a variety of well probes.
The study concluded that the formation was deposited in the upper to lower part of the platform Ramp and stratigraphically divided into three cycles of advance and marine retreat.
