this study investigates the correlations among the tensile strength, mineral composition, and textural features of twenty-ninesandstones from kouzestan province. the regression analyses as well as artificial neural network (ann) are also applied to evaluatethe correlations. the results of simple regression analyses show no correlation between mineralogical features and tensile strength.however,...

the berriasian-valanginian fahliyan formation forms one of the giant reservoirs in the subsurface of the abadan plain, onshore iran. a detailed petrographical analysis of the available cores and thin sections revealed that the different diagenetic parameters influenced the reservoir quality of the fahliyan formation in this field. the fahliyan formation has been influenced by three diagenetic e...
