Abstract

The present study is concerned with interpretation of the available seismic data in the
South Hemreen area ( Central Iraq ) , the aim of this study is to measure the amount of apparent
anticline axes displacement between Fatha Formation (surface) and Jeribe Formation (sub surface) ,
The maximum of the value is noted at the crest of the anticline , so 1250m , 1350m , and 2800m at
crest Injana , Khashem Al-Ahmar and Munsuria anticlines respectively. While the horizontal stress
( NE-SW) was lead to folded and faulted the sedimentary cover and displace the Fatha Formation
horizontally , where its salty rocks played an important role in this displacement
