Impact of depositional and diagenetic controls on reservoir quality of syn-rift sedimentary systems: An example from Oligocene-Miocene Al Wajh Formation, northwest Saudi Arabia

Abdulwahab Muhammad Bello et al.

Summary: This study examines the influence of depositional factors and early diagenetic processes on reservoir quality through an integrated petrographic-mineralogical analysis. The findings highlight the importance of grain size, clay content, and diagenetic processes in determining reservoir quality.

Linking diagenesis and reservoir quality to depositional facies in marginal to shallow marine sequence: An example from the Campano-Maastrichtian Gombe Sandstone, Northern Benue Trough, NE Nigeria

Abdulwahab M. Bello et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between depositional facies, diagenesis, and reservoir quality of the Campanian-Maastrichtian Gombe Sandstone in the Northern Benue Trough, NE Nigeria. It employs a multi-technique approach to analyze thin-section petrography, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction data. The study reveals that the sandstone is primarily composed of arkosic and subarkosic material, and deposited in different sub-environments. The interdistributary tidal bar/channel sandstones exhibit the best reservoir quality, while the lower delta front/prodelta, upper delta front/mouth bar, and distributary channel sandstones have poorer reservoir quality.

The negative impact of Ophiomorpha on reservoir quality of channelized deposits in mixed carbonate siliciclastic setting: The case study of the Dam Formation, Saudi Arabia

Abdullah Alqubalee et al.

Summary: This study documented and contributed to the understanding of the impact of Ophiomorpha on reservoir quality in tidal channel deposits. The results showed that the textural and mineralogical characteristics of Ophiomorpha walls may negatively impact the petrophysical properties of the deposits.

Asymmetrical wave-dominated siliciclastic shorelines with evidence of along-strike variability of sedimentary processes: A revised interpretation for the Toarcian Marrat red beds, central Arabia

Abdulkarim Al-Hussaini et al.

Summary: Marine siliciclastic red beds are commonly found in the geological record, but distinguishing them from continental red beds can be challenging. This study presents the first documentation of Toarcian shallow-marine siliciclastic red beds on the Arabian Plate, providing new insights into their depositional environment.

Role played by clay content in controlling reservoir quality of submarine fan system, Forties Sandstone Member, Central Graben, North Sea

Abdulwahab Muhammad Bello et al.

Summary: Proximal to distal fan changes in sediment grain size, clay content, and clay coatings are key factors affecting the reservoir quality of submarine fan sandstones. The study showed that depositional facies and diagenesis both impact reservoir quality, with proximal-fan amalgamated sandstones having better quality than distal-fan mud-prone facies. Pore-filling clays between 10 and 30% have a negative effect on reservoir quality, while detrital clays and authigenic clay coatings can inhibit quartz cement precipitation.
