Laboratory measurements including porosity, permeability, high-pressure mercury intrusion
(HPMI), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements, and microscopic analysis of …

In structurally-controlled dolomitization systems, there is a general consensus that the
formation of dolostone-limestone transitions, termed here as “dolomitization fronts”, is …

Lithofacies classification is a fundamental step to perform depositional and reservoir
characterizations in the subsurface. However, such a classification is often hindered by …

An integrated study based on field observation, petrography, and scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) on the Early–Middle Eocene carbonate rocks has been carried out, which …

Carbonate reservoir heterogeneity, a multifaceted phenomenon in the domain of subsurface
exploration, plays a pivotal role in the assessment of hydrocarbon resources. The upper …

Primary depositional variations interact with diagenetic modifications to exert strong control
on pore networks in tight hydrocarbon reservoirs. However, the linkage between pore …
