Abstract A continuous core of about 280 feet covering Basal Khuff Clastics, and the upper Unayzah Formation was cut in a North Kuwait well. The Unayzah Formation in the cored interval consists of four main lithologies. These include; 1) stacked normally graded braided fluvial coarse pebbly sandstones, 2) high angle cross bedded sandstone likely involves eolian reworking, 3) flood plain / distal alluvial fan red colour mudstones, and 4) dark colour mudstones and siltstones which were deposited in backswamp and marsh type settings. This latter facies locally contain impoverished palynofloral assemblages and the associated beds have indications of tidal influence. The Basal Khuff Clastics consist of 1) amalgamated sandstone, 2) bioturbated sandstone and siltstone, 3) heterolithic black carbonaceous shale with sandstone interbeds, and 4) interbedded sandstone, siltstone and dolomite facies. These sediments were deposited in coastal plain environments representing tide influenced channels, crevasse splay, interfluve, and coastal marsh / lagoon environments, prelude to the onset of a major transgression. With the exception of ?eolian sandstone, due to authigenic illitic clay development, compaction, and the quartz cementation the reservoir potential in these sediments is reduced. Based on the limited palynofloral information, age of these strata is most likely Kazanian to Tatarian.

Mapping and understanding of the basement architecture becomes more relevant and important for Paleozoic exploration in Kuwait. It is a challenging task to configure the basement from one set of data alone. Due to greater depth and huge accumulation of overburden, each method of investigation, including well drilling and geophysical methods such as gravity, magnetic and seismic, has inherent limitations and inadequacy in modeling the basement. Hence, an integrated analysis of all available data, in addition to shallow well information, is essential to obtain a meaningful picture of the basement. The study is restricted to qualitative analysis of potential field anomaly maps and seismic data, focusing Paleozoic and basement. Kuwait Arch is mapped as a gravity high in response to massive metamorphic rock formed over the crystalline basement which could be much deeper. The structural highs formed within the magnetic low, namely, Mutriba, Kra Al Maru, Minagish, Umm Gudair, Burgan and Magwa are not likely to be basement highs. A detailed analysis is required to explain the origin of these structures as deep-seated salt diapirism alone may not explain the evolution.
对于科威特古生代勘探而言，基底构造的制图和认识变得更加相关和重要。仅从一组数据配置地下室是一项具有挑战性的任务。由于覆盖层深度大，堆积量大，各种调查方法，包括钻井和重、磁、地震等地球物理方法，在模拟基底方面都存在固有的局限性和不足。因此，除了浅层井信息外，对所有可用数据进行综合分析对于获得有意义的基底图像至关重要。研究局限于位场异常图和地震资料的定性分析，重点关注古生代和基底。科威特拱门被映射为一个重力高，以响应在结晶基底上形成的巨大变质岩，这可能更深。在磁低压内形成的Mutriba、Kra Al Maru、Minagish、Umm Gudair、Burgan和Magwa等构造高点不太可能是基底高点。需要详细的分析来解释这些构造的起源，因为仅深层盐底辟作用可能无法解释其演化。
