A scientific study at University of Basrah examines the sedimentary and reservoir specifications of the Saadi Formation in southern Iraq
A scientific study at College of Science at University of Basrah, prepared by Dr. Muhannad Hamid Abboud and researcher Adian Mazban, examined the sedimentary and reservoir specifications of the Saadi Formation in southern Iraq.
The study, which was published in the journal Advances in Science, Technology and Innovation at Springer Nature, included that the permeability of the formation is between low and medium, and the Saadi Formation was divided into two parts: the upper part, which is the Cretaceous limestone, and the lower part, which is the limestone. In addition, the lower part was divided into three units, A, B and C, in relation to the well probes.
The results showed that the petrophysical specifications showed a relationship with the rock distribution of the formation based on the Winland R35 method, where four types of pore throat zone were diagnosed, which are nonpores, micropores, mesopores and macropores.
