Salt
Dome & Evaporite Systems – Arabian Gulf

Basin-scale synthesis of Hormuz and younger evaporite systems with a framework for storage and drilling hazard mitigation.

Salt Dome & Evaporite Systems – Arabian Gulf

1)Integrated Geoscience Approach to Salt Dome and Evaporite Systems – Arabian Gulf

This study develops a basin‑scale synthesis of Hormuz and younger evaporite systems across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq and Iran, integrating seismic interpretation, sequential restoration, gravity–magnetic inversion, well data and global analogues. It defines a methodological framework for salt‑tectonic evolution, drilling hazard mitigation (lost circulation, creep, subsalt pressure) and screening of salt and evaporite units for CO₂ and hydrogen storage.
