AB  - The growth strata in the Middle-Late Cretaceous deposits including 
Kazhdumi, Sarvak and Ilam formations and Lafan Shale in the Well 1 
located between Qatar-Iran height and Hormuz Strait in Persian Gulf was 
studied. The present work is based on the lithostratigraphic analysis 
and distribution of microfossils. Based on the microfossils content, the
 age of studied successions is Albian to Campanian. Comparison of 
seismic points, lithostratigraphic analysis and distribution of 
microfossils show that growth and generation of anticlines are occurred 
in the Middle-Late Cretaceous. As of results, the Kazhdumi, Sarvak and 
Ilam formations and Lafan Shale have potential reservoir and oil trap.
