Palmira chain is one of the most important structures in the Middle
East. Structurally, It's divided into Northern and southern Palmyras,
and between them AL- Daw basin lies. The importance of the
Palmira chain is related to its way of forming, ev
aluating through
the geologic time, and structures those containing oil and gas.
Therefor this paper takes high importance, because the tectonic
active of regional and local faults systems in the oil reservoirs.
Thus we'll focus on the tectonic situation on the studied region
structures, and its effect on the surface and subsurface rock lyres,
using the seismic profiles data. In conclusion, We'll justificate the
dryness of some drilled wells, and suggesting some directions to
guide the future oil exploring.
The Palmyra's chain, is one of the Syrian strategic petroleum regions. Thus the
petroleum companies were interested by this structure through the petro-service contracts.
This study focused on petroleum potential of the Mizozoic formations in the N
Palmyra.
The formation thickness variations have permitted to estimate this potentiality
relating to: Kurachina dolomite, Butma, Al- Haramon, and Rutba formations. In the other
side, the other formations are poor. Also, through the results of executed studies, using the
time- map data and the seismic profiles analysis, a new promising structure, El Khashabia,
is proposed. In this structure a new well is suggested, which must be promising as
petroleum potential.
