The porosity and permeability of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir
quality) are essential inputs for successful oil and gas resource exploration and exploitation …

Microporosity is extensively developed in many ancient, subsurface micritic limestones,
including significant petroleum reservoirs. While these limestones may be described as …

The most widely used pore-type classification systems for carbonate reservoirs are limited
by the fact that the relation between porosity and permeability is poorly defined. Existing …

ABSTRACT Microporosity occurs throughout Arab Formation carbonates of Saudi Arabia,
and affects the log response, fluid flow properties and ultimate recovery of hydrocarbons in …

This paper discusses burial diagenesis and especially a burial dissolution phase and its
effects on micrite microtexture in reservoirs in the Middle East. Three microporous reservoirs …

Microporosity may account for a significant part of the total porosity of Cretaceous limestone
reservoirs of the Middle East. In these microporous facies porosity is moderate to excellent …

The carbon isotope profiles of shallow-marine carbonates from the Barremian–Aptian
Kharaib and Shuaiba formations of the Arabian Gulf region range between 0.5 and 7‰ …

The Cretaceous rudist-bearing carbonates of the Arabian Gulf region are proven exploration
targets for hydrocarbons and form the reservoirs of a number of giant fields, including Bu …

We investigated the effect of porosity, pore geometry, and diagenetic history on the elastic
properties of dry, tightly cemented grainstones whose pore space consists dominantly of …

Microporosity is recognized as a significant concern in Phanerozoic-age limestone
reservoirs throughout the world because its presence can severely complicate hydrocarbon …
