Abstract

EAGE is delighted to announce the first edition of this Jurassic Field trip, which will be held in cooperation with the Dhahran Geoscience Society (DGS) and will focus on understanding the Jurassic history and tectonostratigraphic events of the Arabian Platform. The all inclusive 3 day field trip will present one of the first attempts to apply modern sequence stratigraphic techniques to outcrops to improve our understanding of the Jurassic system regionally and globally. Moreover, the field trip reveals for the first time depositional models that subdivide the Shaqra Group into genetically related sequences that are not always obvious from core, wireline logs or seismic data.
