摘要

This paper investigates the biostratigraphy of the Palaeocene-Lower Eocene sequences in the Bibi Hakimeh 2 subsurface/subterranean sections located in the Bibi Hakimeh Oil Field. The Palaeocene-Lower Eocene sequences are induced as part of the Pabdeh Formation. They are 49 m in thickness and are made up of clayey limestone with chert intercalations. Biostratigraphic investigations identified 10 genera and 51 species of Planktonic Foraminifera which with respect to the specific planktonic species and according to the newest Wade Biozonation led to the determination of 9 biozones and 4 subzones. The Palaeocene-Early Eocene biostratigraphic boundary determined previously in accordance with the Wynd Biozonation was reviewed with respect to the new biozonation. Moreover, the impression of the PETM on the Planktonic Foraminifera found in the Bibi Hakimeh subsurface section, has been occurred at P/E boundary on global scale was studied. Based on this research we can conclude the P/E biostratigraphic boundary border is occurred ranges between 2125 - 2124 meters in Pabdeh formation.
