Field Seminars

This field trip will give attendees an opportunity to visit and examine the full sequence of the Semail Ophiolite with two leading Oman experts who will discuss and explain to you the different Semail Ophiolite units, Ophiolite obduction tectonics and initial process of the subductions before Ophiolite detachment

Join us for a visit to one of the innovative environmental projects in Oman, hosted by 44.01 Earth. Participants will have the chance to explore one of 44.01 Earth semi-restricted areas housing CO2 injection sites.

In this two-day fieldtrip the autochthonous Jurassic-Cretaceous carbonate-dominated succession (Mafraq to Natih formations) will be examined in detail in Wadi Al Muaydin, focusing on their cyclicity and facies, and putting these in a regional context.

The Late Cretaceous shallow-water carbonates of the Natih Formation are among the most prolific reservoirs in Oman and the surrounding region. These rocks are well exposed in the Al Jabal Akhdar to Adam Foothills region in Northern Oman. This field trip will explore Jebel Madmar, one of the best locations for observing the complete Natih Formation and the different facies of the Natih-e member.
