Discussion

Comprehensive analysis reveals multifactorial controls on carbonate and clastic sedimentation, suggesting reservoir implications.

Carbonate production varies significantly between the western and eastern flanks of the basin, indicating unique geological controls.
Primary reservoir porosity ranges between 17% and 22%, with hydrocarbon saturation of 33% to 55% validated in specific wells.
Integrated analysis employs foraminiferal proxies, sequence stratigraphy, and petrophysical metrics to assess sedimentation patterns.
Insights into bathymetric and sediment dynamics highlight the impact of tectonic activity on reservoir characteristics.

Ayyad et al. (2025) studied this question.
