Architecture and geomorphology of fluvial channel systems in the Arabian Basin.

ABSTRACT: The architecture and geomorphology of fluvial channel system plays an important role in the interpretation of its sedimentary processes and characterization of the ability for subsurface storage. In the Arabian Basin, this system is considered a new petroleum play after a century of carbonate-play dominance with enormous petroleum reserves. In addition, the presence of publicly available 3D seismic refection data in the Arabian Basin is very limited, providing a condition that fluvial channel system knowledge becomes publicly less understood. Therefore, our study utilizes 3D seismic reflection data and aims to (1) interpret seismic facies and architecture, (2) map the unit thickness and lateral distribution, and (3) calculate morphometry of the Late Carboniferous to Early Permian fluvial c
