Siirt Petroleum District X of South East Anatolia includes a number of oil fields. The structural
and stratigrafic traps, which formed as a result of the collision and the approach of Arabian-
Anatolian plates during the geological stages, have gained their final forms by the effect of the
thrusts formed at Miocene and Late Miocene-today’s neo-tectonism on the Arabian Plate. At
this study which is carried out within these fields, to explain the activities occured during and
after Miocene, it has been focused on especially stratigraphic and depositional model and Lice
Formation’s facies which the Miocene thrusts moved over, passing from marine to terrestrial has
been mapped. The results of this study were correlated with ancient studies (Yılmaz and Duran
1997, Sarıdas et al. 1991, İsbilir and Dincer 1991) and the differences were found. Under the
scope of this study, it is thouht that Miocene units may present source, reservoir and cap rock
properties in the area.
Keywords: Miocene, Kapıkaya Formation, Lice Formation, Fırat Formation, Şelmo Formation
