Abstract
Through the use of satellite data taken by the Landsat satellites a color phenomenon was detected east of Khor Al-Zubair, southern Iraq, and a detailed study was carried out on this area and an oblate shape morphostructure phenomenon was detected towards (northeast-southwest) with a length of about 30 km and a width of about 15 km. It was distinguished by a color reflection that differs from its surroundings.
What confirms the existence of this phenomenon is the identification of the previous trace of the Shatt al-Arab, which indicates a recent tectonic activity, represented by Uplifting of the study area. knowing that the topographical height of this phenomenon in its highest part is 23 meters from the mean sea level.
As the area surrounding this phenomenon contains important oil and gas fields, it is possible that this phenomenon is a structure oranticline fold with promising hydrocarbon potentials, similar to the fields and structures surrounding it.
