  • Structural Geometry, Style and Timing of Deformation in the Hawasina Window, Al Jabal Al Akhdar and Saih Hatat Culminations, Oman Mountains
    GeoArabia, Vol. 12, No. 2, 2007 Structural deformation, Oman mountains Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Structural geometry, style and timing of deformation in the Hawasina Window, Al Jabal al Akhdar and Saih Hatat culminations, Oman Mountains Michael P. Searle ABSTRACT The Al Jabal al Akhdar and Saih Hatat culminations in the central Oman Mountains expose the complete mid-Permian to Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) passive shelf and margin carbonate sequence beneath the allochtonous slope (Sumeini Group), basin (Hawasina complex), distal ocean-trench (Haybi complex) facies rocks, and the Semail ophiolite thrust sheets that were emplaced from NE to SW during the Late Cretaceous. Reconstruction of the pre-thrust sequences shows that time- equivalent rocks occur in successively stacked thrust sheets from shelf to slope to basin. The Al Jabal al Akhdar structure is a 60 km wavelength anticline plunging to the northwest beneath the Hawasina Window and with a fold axis that curves from WNW-ESE (Jabal Shams) to NNE-SSW (Jabal Nakhl). The structure shows little internal deformation except for minor intra-formational thrust duplexing within the Cretaceous shelf stratigraphy along the northern margin. The upper structural boundaries around the flanks of the shelf carbonate culminations have been re-activated as late stage normal faults. The Semail thrust formed a passive roof fault during late-stage culmination of al Al Jabal al Akhdar such that the ophiolite rests directly on Wasia Formation top-shelf with the entire Sumeini, Hawasina and Haybi thrust sheets displaced around the margins. NE-directed backthrusting and intense folding in the northern part of the Hawasina Window affects all allochtonous units and is related to a steep ramp in the Late Cretaceous shelf margin at depth.

  • 13 Doing Business in Oman.Pdf
    His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said “Today, the private sector is required to exert more efforts through its representatives in the State Consultative Council, the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry and all other establishments and companies to double its national role in order to meet the targets of the policies on which we are constantly placing stress.” God’s blessings and peace be upon you all. Foreword H.E Khalil Abdullah Mohammed Al Khonji Chairman ­ Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry Oman has made great headway and has witnessed tremendous economic growth, stability and prosperity under the wise and enlightened leadership of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said. Oman is ranked 57 out of 181 economies in the ‘Ease of Doing Business’ rankings 2009 by the World Bank. The country has modern infrastructure, growing industrial base and a stable government. The market‐oriented policies and private sector development initiatives of the government adds to the country’s competitive advantage. Improved investment climate and domestic demand together with sound economic policies has ensured consistent growth in Oman’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The government’s strategy of diversifying and liberalizing the economy is reliant on attracting foreign direct investments into the country; the government therefore offers several attractive incentives and advantages to foreign investors to make the investment climate conducive and investor‐friendly. Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry pays high attention towards commercial and economical works and makes strong efforts to bridge the gap between the public and private sectors. The private sector contributes much in supporting the current and future directions and inclinations of the government.
