Abstract

Sedimentary basins undergone compressional events usually embrace high-angle folds and steep layers compositions. Al Jaww plain, which is included in the UAE basin, is also characterized by a complex geological structure with compressional footprints left by two major events: the Oman ophiolite obduction and Zagros folding. The plain is bounded on the east by NS aligned Oman mountains and on the west by the fold-thrust front of the Jabal Hafit mountain. In order to obtain a high-resolution image of the structurally complex UAE basin, the data acquisition was carried out by employing the densely located wide-aperture seismic arrays over the south-eastern part of the basin. The survey was conducted across the 6 km line with 5 m intervals of the receiver and shot progression of 2.5 m. Prestack depth migration (PSDM) together with the tomographic inversions are mainly carried out to visualize the high-resolution subsurface image in the thesis.
