Teheran University and National Iranian Oil Company, August 2007, p.734This book takes the reader through the most fundamental description of geological history in the Persian Gulf region. Geoscientific knowledge concerning the Persian Gulf region has been widely scattered in many published works and attempt has been made to survey these materials. The present book also has an important academic purpose. The compilation and editing of this book required the assistance and cooperation of many people. A number of reviewers also dedicated their time to significantly improve the technical merit of each contribution.
It is hoped that the present contribution to the geology of the Persian Gulf will be of interest to stratigraphers and sedimentologists as a general background reference book, to those involved in geophysical exploration, and to environmental geoscientists who are interested in protecting the natural environment of the Persian Gulf as one of the most valuable and magnificent parts of the world.
This book on the Petroleum Geology of the Persian Gulf contains eleven chapters. It provides a broad introduction to various aspects of the geology of the Persian Gulf.Preface
