The thick Eocene carbonate deposits that are newly ascribed as Radwany Formation
(previously Thebes Formation) in the October basin within the Gulf of Suez region, are of …

Abstract Lower to Middle Eocene organic-rich deep-water limestones of the∼ 335-m-thick
(1100 ft) Radwany (Thebes-equivalent) Formation represent a source rock and a potential …

The process of recrystallization affecting dolomitic successions remains a longstanding
enigma in carbonate research. Recrystallization influences the accuracy of genetic …

Conventionally, diagenesis has been studied by making qualitative morphological
observations which have been organised into complex classification schemes. Petrophysics …

The optical features of mineral composition and texture in petrographic thin sections are an
important basis for rock identification and rock evolution analysis. However, the efficiency …

Ooid grainstone/packstone carbonate facies of the Dalan, Kangan, and Arab formations are
the main hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Persian Gulf. Based on detailed petrographic and …

Several giant oilfileds have been discovered during recent exploration in the Ordovician
carbonates in zone between the Awati and Manjiaer depressions, Tarim Basin, China …

Abstract The Upper Arab reservoir in the central Persian Gulf was examined for depositional,
diagenetic, sequence stratigraphic and petrophysical features. This succession is composed …

This study aims to establish the diagenetic evolution of carbonate rocks of the Barremian-
Aptian Tirgan Formation (Kopet-Dagh Basin, NE Iran), with special emphasis in their impact …

Carbonate reservoirs are characterized by their complex depositional–diagenetic history
and, consequently, intricate pore networks. In this study, pore types and reservoir zones of …
