These stages are correlated with the tectonic history of the northern Oman orogeny. Occurrence of fluorescent hydrocarbon fluid inclusions is restricted to stage 2 and stage 3 fracture-filling calcites that are crosscut by stylolites. Stylolite formation during rapid burial beneath abyssal Campanian foredeep sediments restricts hydrocarbon migration to post–mid-Cenomanian and pre–mid-Campanian time.
