Abstract
A series of structural and isopach maps have been constructed to model the tectonic history of Kuwait. These indicate that the geological history of the country has been one of general subsidence, interrupted on a number of occasions by periods of uplift. A major unconformity in the mid‐Cretaceous is observed above the Burgan High, which is a structure of great importance for hydrocarbon accumulation. The thinning of sediments, as seen on the isopach maps, suggests that the development of this structure began as early as the Jurassic.
