• Cenozoic Hoshab Formation Paleogene-Neogene
  Economic importanceGeological significancePlain summary
  • Economic importance: The Oligocene Hoshab Formation is a deep-marine shale/mudstone with onshore outcrop TOC up to ~0.6%, interpreted as a (potential) hydrocarbon source rock for the Makran, with thrust detachments rooting in this mud-rich interval (Cromie et al. 2022).
• Cenozoic Jiwani Formation Quaternary

• Cenozoic Ormara Formation Neogene
  Depositional environmentGeological significance
• Cenozoic Panjgur Formation Paleogene–Neogene
  EraPeriodDepositional environmentEconomic importanceGeological significancePlain summary
  • Epoch: Current record lists Eocene–Oligocene; modern provenance and biostratigraphic work (Kassi et al.; Cromie et al. 2022) dates the Panjgur Formation as Oligocene–Early Miocene.
  • Economic importance: The Lower Miocene Panjgur Formation is the principal reservoir target of the Makran: stacked turbidite/submarine-fan sandstones (estimated 450 m to 2-3 km thick) with favourable reservoir characteristics, sealed by overlying Parkini mudstones; the primary offshore exploration target (Cromie et al. 2022).
• Cenozoic Parkini Formation Neogene
  Depositional environmentEconomic importanceGeological significancePlain summary
  • Economic importance: The upper Miocene Parkini Formation (up to ~3 km thick) is a slope-to-basinal calcareous mudstone that acts both as a potential source rock and as a top seal over the Panjgur turbidite reservoirs in the Makran petroleum system (Cromie et al. 2022).
• Cenozoic Siahan Formation Paleogene
  Depositional environmentGeological significancePlain summary
• Cenozoic Talar Formation Neogene
  Economic importanceGeological significance
  • Economic importance: The Pliocene Talar Formation comprises medium- to coarse-grained sandstones with minor mudstone/shale whose upper part has shallow reservoir potential, above the deeper Panjgur turbidite play (Cromie et al. 2022).
• Cenozoic Wakai Limestone Paleogene
  Economic importanceGeological significance
