The Shaikan1-B discovery well, located in Iraq’s Kurdistan province near the city of Dohuk, about 85 kilometers northwest of Erbil. The well, drilled by Gulf Keystone Petroleum in spring 2009, reached TD at 2,950 meters measured depth and encountered nine hydrocarbon-bearing formations within Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic deposits. The Shaikan structure is an east-west anticline at the northwestern part of the Zagros/ Taurus Foldbelt. Photo courtesy of AAPG member Chris Garrett.
