“…In Table 1, the general physical properties ('susceptibilities') of the rock types in the study area are summarized based on Soheili and Mahdavi (1991) and Mahdavi (1996). The Relationship between surface structures (e.g., Khavari et al, 2009;Arian et al, 2012;Arian and Aran, 2014;Ehsani and Arian, 2015;Aram and Arian, 2016) and basement faulting (e.g., Nabilou et al, 2018;Mansouri et al, 2018) show that Iran is affected by active tectonics. In terms of lithofacies, especially the role of tectonics in the Iran sedimentary basin, Arian (2015), Razaghian et al (2018) and Taesiri et al (2020) divided all rocks into several large tectonic-stratigraphic units.…”

The Sarvak and Ilam Formations in the Zagros sedimentary basin are known as reservoir ROCKs. Over 50 hydrocarbon fields are in the Zagros basin at the Sarvak and Ilam hydrocarbon Formations, and the Fars region is about 5%. This research identifies areas with hydrocarbon potential of the Formation of Sarvak and Ilam at Fars area parameters such as Formations outcrop, main faults, isopach maps, and volume of upper Formations sediments extracted from geology map of the area. With fuzzification of the layers and overlapping them with each other, the areas with high hydrocarbon potential were identified in the Ilam and Sarvak Formations. Regarding exploration potential in the Sarvak and Ilam Formations, the Fars region was identified as an area with poor hydrocarbon potential. Somehow 75.25% of the Fars area has inferior hydrocarbon potential, 18.5% has standard hydrocarbon potential, and only 6.25% has high hydrocarbons potential for exploration at the Sarvak and Ilam Formations. While considering to fault effect and their outcrops, the percent of areas with high hydrocarbon potential decreased to 3.6%. Also, Fuzzy logic as a multi-value logic from masters knowledge and designed inference network could identify all fields with hydrocarbons potential in the Sarvak and Ilam Formations in the Fars area and recognize those areas as a high hydrocarbons potential.

Active tectonics is an indicator of recent movement of mountains and landscapes evolution for regions affected by current tectonic activity. The Saymareh-Karkheh river basin is located on the Zagros Mountain in the west Iran. The Zagros Mountain is an orogenic belt that is formed by the collision between the Eurasian and Arabian plates during Cenozoic. Active tectonics has analyzed by measurement of six geomorphic indices (hypsometric integral, basin asymmetry factor, basin shape, the stream length-gradient, mountain-front sinuosity and valley floor width-height ratio) which they combined to index of active tectonics (Iat). Based on values of this index, the Saymareh-Karkheh river basin was divided into high (Class 2, 18.8%), moderate (Class 3, 70.3%), and low (Class 4, 10.9%) relative tectonic activity parts. The above results confirm the usefulness of geomorphic analyses for regional assessment of active tectonics they are compatible with differential tectonic activity in the High Zagros and Zagros fold and thrust belt. Also, it was revealed that geomorphic indices and using of GIS technics are very useful to investigation of active tectonics in the mountain areas.
