The aim of this research is to identified the tectonic evolution of Naher Al-Kabir Al-Shimaly Basin from tectonic subsidence curve witch calculated from Lattakia1 well data. Tectonic subsidence was identified in lower-middle Jurassic en relation of opening of East Mediterranean basin. A subsidence is occurred in Cenomaniane, after a stage of uplift in late Jurassic-lower Cretaceous en relation to fold and erosion known at regional scale. The beginning of ophiolitic obduction in northern Arabian plate caused uplift of region in Turonian-Santonian time, thin subsidence at Campanian-Maastrichtian due to ophiolitic load. A simple tectonic subsidence continues in Eocene, followed by clear uplift at lower Oligocene announcing the begging of Arabian-Eurasian collision, which ripened in region at Miocene. Main tectonic subsidence in Nher Al-Kabir Al-Shimaly Basin was happening at Miocene, it due to thrust of Baer-Bassit region on coastal range platform and to synsedimentary normal faults. At Pliocene time, this Miocene subsidence ended by thermal subsidence stage..
