According to available information, based on the regional geology and petroleum systems, there is potential for oil and gas reservoirs in eastern Iran. The region’s geological history and petroleum systems include descriptions of the regional habitats and stratigraphy of the main reservoirs and source rocks. The Late Pre-Cambrian to Phanerozoic tectonostratigraphic is characterized by six major phases, influencing the formation of hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Moreover, the Iranian part of the Zagros fold belt, which extends nearly 1400 km from the Iran-Iraq border in the northwest to the Zendan fault, East of Bandar Abbas, in the southeast, includes significant oil and gas fields. The Dezful embayment in this region contains some 50 oil fields that account for more than 400 billion barrels of initial oil-in-place (IOIP), corresponding to 8% of the estimated global oil reserves.

However, it’s important to note that potential hydrocarbon reservoirs don’t guarantee economically viable extraction. This depends on many factors, including the size and quality of the reservoir, depth, overlying rock formations, and current technology. Environmental considerations and regulations can also impact the feasibility of oil and gas extraction.

Please note that while this information provides a general overview based on available data, detailed exploration, and analysis would be required to confirm the presence and viability of oil and gas reservoirs in any specific location.

HELLO

Thank you for your question! The geology of Eastern Iran is indeed a fascinating area of study, particularly in the context of potential gas and oil reservoirs. To explore this topic further:

Geology of Eastern Iran: Eastern Iran is part of a vast geological region known as the Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt. It is a complex tectonic zone characterized by the collision between the Arabian Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The interaction of these two plates has led to the formation of various geological features that may host oil and gas reservoirs.

Oil and Gas Reservoir Potential:

GOOD LUCK

Dear Gholamreza Fotoohi Rad ,

Some local geological knowledge of the area is needed to make an accurate assessment. At the very least, you should have data from an exploratory borehole and a 2D 3D seismic profile of the area...

Therefore, among those present in the discussion, you and Abolghasem Goorabi (as Iranians) know the answer to this, because you have the needed data on the area:

Lut Desert and Kavir Desert and same exist opportunity Near Afghanistan-Pakistan border...

My assumptions are that natural gas deposits are the most probable.

Regards,

Laszlo

I think it includes zoning the mash between giant plates that contribute to an abundant gas and oil reservoir basin
