Cenomanian-Early Campanian Carbonate Reservoir Rocks of Northwestern Iraq: Diagenesis and Porosity Development

Chemical Induced Wettability Alteration of Carbonate Reservoir Rocks

Tectonical history of Arabian platform during Late Cretaceous An example from Kurdistan region, NE Iraq

New simplified tectonic models and depositional history of Late Cretaceous rocks are established in a part of Zagros Orogenic Belt that is located in the Northeastern Iraq. These rocks constutes the most important Cretaceous oil reservoir in the Middle East. The dependent tools are petrography, field study and the concept of drowning phases. This concept is relatively new and accurate in explan...

Diagenesis and Reservoir Quality

Oilfield Review Summer 2010: 22, no. 2. Copyright © 2010 Schlumberger. For help in preparation of this article, thanks to Neil Hurley, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia; and L. Bruce Railsback, The University of Georgia, Athens, USA. The early search for oil and gas reservoirs centered on acquiring an overall view of regional tectonics, followed by a more detailed appraisal of local structure and stratigra...

The Late Cenomanian-Coniacian Gattar and Aleg reservoirs in Sidi Bouzid area, Central Tunisia: Logging, diagenesis and reservoir implications

At the Sidi Bouzid area located in Central Tunisia, Cenomanian-Turonian reservoir rocks are well outcropping, especially in the Jebel el Kébar and Meloussi areas. The present work confirms that these carbonate intervals constitute the lateral equivalent of the Early-Middle Turonian Biréno and Late Turonian-Coniacian Douleb reservoir Members which are included within the pelagic marls of the Tur...
