Plastic behavior and significant thickness of the Gachsaran incompetence formation on top of middle carbonate units in the sedimentary sequence of the southern Dezful Embayment led to the emergence of different styles of folding above and below of this formation. So that the structures in the upper and lower parts of this formation are completely separated and do not match each other. In the upper anticlines, above the Gachsaran horizon, the calculation of the limbs angle, the main thrust slope and the percentage of forelimb thickening indicate the fault detachment fold style. This style marks the geometry of fold at the early stage of the development of this anticline. Also the seismic profiles below the Gachsaran horizon also show the fault-propagation folding style. In the south Dezful Embayment, folding in the Gachsaran Formation occurs with shorter wavelengths in the form of disharmonic folds. This folding acts as the decoupling surface for the lower folds so that the synclines in this moving horizon directly cover the lower anticlines. The rounded folds in the carbonates in lower anticline are the imposed folds associated with steepened up reverse faults, detached on the basal decollement level and ultimately faulted by progressive deformation. The interpretation of seismic sections in the southern Dezful Embayment shows that lateral migration occurs in the salt units of the GS2 and GS4, and the upper and lower units of the Gachsaran Formation do not play a role in salt migration. Lateral migration in Miocene salts of the Gachsaran Formation is accomplished by the growth of sub-anticline during folding and loading of upper formation at the upper Gachsaran Formation.

Estimation of in-situ stress tensor in sedimentary basins using information obtained from exploration and development oil and gas wells during the drilling and logging process may be used for estimation of in-situ stress tensor in sedimentary basins. The in-situ stress magnitude and orientation and the resulting stress regime around the studied wells have been several application in secondary recovery programs from hydrocarbon reservoirs as well as wellbore stability analysis. In this paper, the magnitude of in-situ stress is estimated by using abovementioned data in some oil wells located in the south west of Iran. Increasing the oil production by hydraulic fracturing design and sand control in the multi-layer reservoirs such as the Marun giant oil field with loose sand horizons and also improving drilling performance in the Gachsaran formation¬ requires knowledge about the prevailing stress conditions. This research, tries to analyze the stress regime of the Asmari and Gachsaran Formations around the selected wells in the Marun and Lali fields using constructed Mechanical Earth Models (MEM) and their differences are discussed. The calculated stress magnitudes in studied wells indicate a significant drop in magnitude of horizontal stresses from the Gachsaran to Asmari reservoirs in the Marun oil field. The magnitudes of the three principal stresses resulted that SHmax is the maximum principal stress and the Shmin is the minimum principal stress, thus a strike-slip stress regime (SHmax>Sv>Shmin) dominates in the Gachsaran sequence and the Asmari formation of the Lali oil field. however, in the Gachsaran formation of Marun giant oil field, stress regime is reverse-strike slip but normal stress regime is dominated in it's Asmari reservoir. The In-situ stress condition indicates that the structural condition and the depth difference of these structures plays an important role in the tectonic stress regime changes. Manuscript profile

In three different salinity facies environment from 34 psu to over 50 psu in oligoophotic to euphotic environment and oligotrophy-weak mesotrophy to eutrophy conditions in a homoclinal carbonate ramp platform recognized for the Asmari Formation at this study area. Correlation of the Asmari Formation in 3 section, A water salinity environmental correlation of the Asmari Formaion from Firozabad to east and north of Gachsaran reveals that 1- during Rupelian the Asmari Formation deposited in a normal water salinity environment, 2- while normal salinity water condition prevailed in Gachsaran area during Chattian, the Fars area was under higher marine salinity environment. Higher salinity environment developed during Aquitanian and Burdigalian in Gachsaran area. Manuscript profile

Abstract Determination of In-situ stress domain in oilfields is so important for drilling, well completion and petroleum geomechanics. Simply, determination of magnitude and direction of In-situ stress around wellbore is the first step of geomechanical studies and wellbore stability particularly. Preliminarily, because of importance of casing collapse problem in the Marun oilfield, the magnitude of in-situ stress is determined. The magnitude of vertical stress (Sv) was in range of 85 to 90 MPa. The minimum horizontal stress (Shmin) determined by some analytical methods. For estimating of maximum horizontal stress (SHmax) domain we used Anderson’s faulting theory and stress polygon. So the magnitude of SHmax was so close to Sv and the faulting regime shows normal/strike slip. Within Gachsaran Formation in depth of collapses because of salty lithology and high pore pressure, magnitude of In-situ stress is so close and it can be assume hydrostatic stress state.

Investigation on hydrocarbon source rock potentiality of Gadvan Formation in Marun, Gachsaran and Binak oil fields using Rock-eval pyrolysis shows that Gadvan Formation in Marun and Gachsaran oil fields is an effective source rock and is capable of generating hydrocarbon (oil and gas) , whereas the same formation in the Binak oil field has no hydrocarbon generation potential. The presence of organic matter in Gadvan Formation from Marun and Gachsaran oil fields suggests a mixture of kerogen type II/III and in Binak oil field kergen type III is dominant. Based on Tmax values derived from Rock-Eval pyrolysis, Gadvan Formation in Marun and Gachsaran oil fields is thermally mature and entered oil window stage but in Binak oil field this formation is immature and has not entered oil window yet. The results obtained from pyrolysis and virtinite reflectance measurements are in good agreement with thermal history modeling using PBM software program. Organic facies curve plotted for the Gadvan Formation indicates organic facies BC for Marun and Gachsaran oil fields and organic facies CD for Binak oil field suggesting marine persistent anoxic to oxidizing conditions prevailed during early deposition Manuscript profile

Analysis of a dynamic light scattering instrument "Wyatt DynoproNanoStar" was used to detect the accumulation of surfactant in the oil phase. Triple measurements were performed for each sample and at least two samples were tested for each level of surfactant concentration to ensure reproducibility. The detection temperature was controlled at the same temperature by segmentation experiments. The accumulation properties of BAC surfactant in toluene were investigated using DLS and samples were presented in Figure 3, including the total radius and intensity of the collected light signal, C12, C14, and toluene C16, from the oil phase in the water-oil partitioning equilibrium from the surface. Net BAC was sampled. As can be seen, both the particle radius and the intensity of the C12 and C14 signals varied sharply within the evaluated concentration range, indicating that C12 and C14 do not form micelles in toluene. In this research, a multi-physical model, integrated corrosion inhibition model (ICI), is presented theoretically and empirically to evaluate integrated water-oil separation, aggregation, adsorption / desorption, and corrosion inhibition of mixed surfactant inhibitors in water-containing oils. We pay salt in Gachsaran Oil Company. Steel Pipe Environments (WOS). The ICI model is based on three main sub-models that consider water-oil surfactant classification, micellation, effective adsorption / desorption on the substrate, surfactant type, surfactant-solvent interactions, surfactant-contrion pair, and side surfactant interactions, etc. opnions have been asked. Acts as a basic framework in the design, selection, optimization, and use of various pure and mixed surfactant inhibitors in WOS environments. In summary, a comprehensive model, the ICI model, has been theoretically developed and empirically validated to evaluate the partitioning, aggregation, and corrosion inhibition of surfactant (both homologous and inhomogeneous) inhibitors (water-containing) and oil-steel pipe.
