Comparison of variations in sediment accumulation rates of the upper part of Zakeen Formation through cyclostratigraphic study in 2SK-1 and 2SKD-1 wells in Salman gas field

The Zakeen Formation is one of the possible gas reservoirs in the Zagros sedimentary basin. In this paper, the cyclostratigraphic study of the upper part of the Zakeen Formation was performed by using evolutionary spectral analysis methods. The Multi-Tapper Method (MTM) periodogram is one of the evolutionary spectral analysis methods used in this study to identify and prove the frequency ratios of Milankovitch cycles in the studied sediment sequences. In this study, using the introduced methodology, the frequency ratios of the Milankovitch cycles in the upper part of the Zakeen Formation was identified for the first time, and their existence was confirmed. Besides, the spectral powers of spectral gamma-ray (SGR) and density (RHOB) series, in evolutionary Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Wavelet Transform (WT) Scalograms, in 2SK-1 and 2SKD-1 wells of Salman gas field show strong astronomical signals of the Milankovitch cycles (E, e, O, P). After investigating the cyclostratigraphy of the upper part of the Zakeen Formation in the studied wells, by using new methods of evolutionary correlation coefficient and evolutionary significance levels, comparison of sediment accumulation rate variations of the Zakeen Formation was performed in the studied wells.
