Abstract
An integrated petrographic and geochemical study of the Ahwaz Sandstone Member of OligoceneMiocene age, Asmari Formation in Zagros, southwest Iran, was carried out to infer their provenance and tectonic setting. This study is based on the analysis of core samples from three subsurface sections (wells Az-85, Az-11, and Az-89) in Ahwaz oil fi eld in the Dezful embayment subzone. On the basis of the framework composition (point counting) and...
