Analysis and Characterization of Pore System and Grain Sizes of Carbonate Rocks from Southern Lebanon

Mohamed K. K. Salah et al.

Summary: The carbonate rocks near Sidon, Lebanon have high microporosity and micropore throat dominance, resulting in low mean hydraulic radius and very low permeability. They are likely classified as non-reservoir facies.

Diagenesis of the San Andres Formation in the Seminole unit in Central Basin platform, western Texas

Lei Jiang

Summary: This study investigates the impact of diagenesis on reservoir quality in the San Andres Formation. Results indicate that evaporation of seawater and bacterial sulfate reduction are the main processes leading to the precipitation and cementation of anhydrite. The study also reveals the occurrence of regional hydrothermal activity and the influence of Neogene meteoric water on reservoir quality.

Controls on compactional behavior and reservoir quality in a Triassic Buntsandstein reservoir, Upper Rhine Graben, SW Germany

Benjamin Busch et al.

Summary: The main reservoir quality controls in Triassic Buntsandstein deposits in the Upper Rhine Graben and surrounding outcrops in Germany and France are discussed. The study emphasizes the importance of detrital grain size, authigenic cements, and illite textures as key factors affecting reservoir quality in this lithology.

Inferring time averaging and hiatus durations in the stratigraphic record of high-frequency depositional sequences

Adam Tomasovych et al.

Summary: The study suggests that the prediction of sequence stratigraphic framework does not apply to environments where carbonate production keeps up with sea-level rise. Instead, hiatus durations can be estimated by measuring the residence time of skeletal particles in the mixed layer, as demonstrated in a Holocene sequence in the Adriatic Sea. This research highlights the importance of considering taphonomic processes in understanding sedimentation rates and hiatuses in ancient environments.

Diagenetic controls on the elastic velocity of the early Triassic Upper Khartam Member (Khuff Formation, central Saudi Arabia)

Moaz Salih et al.

Summary: This study investigates the controls and variations in petrophysical properties and acoustic velocities of Khuff carbonates. The results show that pore types, mainly of diagenetic origin, are the main factor controlling variations of velocity at any given porosity. Three main diagenetic processes contribute to the evolution of velocity and porosity in the Khuff carbonates, providing important insights about reservoir quality.

Biostratigraphy, Depositional and Diagenetic Processes in Carbonate Rocks from Southern Lebanon: Impact on Porosity and Permeability

Hammad Tariq Janjuhah et al.

Summary: Carbonate rocks with prolific hydrocarbon reserves, particularly in the Middle East, were studied in exposed marine sedimentary sequences in Southern Lebanon. The study analyzed the carbonate reservoir facies, diagenetic history, and reservoir quality, with Maghdoucheh dominated by limestone beds in a restricted marine platform environment, and Qennarit composed of mudstone/wackestone limestone beds with planktonic foraminifera related to open marine conditions. The porosity-permeability analysis revealed moderate to good porosity but very low permeability, mainly due to the presence of large isolated moldic pores. Diagenetic features were dominated by micritization and dissolution, with dissolution contributing to porosity enhancement but other factors negatively impacting permeability and overall reservoir quality.

Mohammad Alsuwaidi et al.

Summary: This study uses petrographic and petrophysical methods to constrain parameters controlling porosity-permeability heterogeneity in unconventional microporous lime mudstone reservoir of the Lower Bab Member. Depositional texture and diagenetic processes significantly influence the petrophysical properties of the mudstones.

Bimineralic Middle Triassic ooids from Hydra Island: Diagenetic pathways and implications for ancient seawater geochemistry

Shahab Varkouhi et al.

Summary: This study investigates the formation of ancient bimineralic ooids in the Middle Triassic from Hydra Island, Greece, and their significance in paleoseawater geochemical interpretations. The occurrence of bimineralic ooids globally during the Middle Triassic period is consistent, mainly controlled by the Mg/Ca ratio of seawater.
