Reservoir quality is significantly influenced by diagenetic processes and lithofacies arrangement in carbonate sediments.
The Paleozoic petroleum system sourced from organic-rich Silurian shales holds 80-90% of the region's hydrocarbons.
The study identifies eight lithofacies, each with distinct depositional environments, impacting mineralization and reservoir characteristics.
The interplay between original deposition and diagenesis affects the quality of reservoirs, controlling hydrocarbon pathways.
