Carbonate sediments within the Mid-Cretaceous Sarvak Formation form an important reservoir
at the Abteymour oilfield in the western Dezful Embayment, SW Iran. The poroperm
characteristics of this reservoir were controlled by factors including deposition under tropical
climatic conditions and early diagenesis, repeated phases of subaerial exposure due to local,
regional and global-scale tectonism, and diagenetic modification during burial. From microfacies
analysis, the Sarvak Formation carbonates in the Abteymour field were interpreted in a previous
study as having been deposited on a homoclinal ramp-type platform.Three third-order sequences
were recognized in the middle Cenomanian to middle Turonian part of the formation. The
reservoir quality of the carbonates was enhanced both by dissolution (comprising separate
phases of eogenetic and telogenetic meteoric dissolution) and dolomitization (especially styloliterelated dolomitization).
In this paper, a rock/pore type approach was used in order to integrate petrophysical data
with facies and diagenetic models within a sequence stratigraphic framework. Two different
rock-typing methods for the determination of flow units were considered. Hydraulic flow units
(HFUs) were identified firstly using flow zone indicators and secondly using a stratigraphic
modified Lorenz plot. The flow units resulting from these two methods are compared, and their
close correspondence within the sequence stratigraphic framework is discussed. In addition, the
previously-used large-scale reservoir zonation scheme for the Abteymour field is correlated
with the defined flow units, and four new Integrated Reservoir Zones are introduced. By integrating
geological information with petrophysical parameters (including porosity, permeability and
saturation) within a sequence stratigraphic framework, field-scale variations and controls on
reservoir quality are described.

deposition to the present day. A (above) refers to the middle part of the Sarvak Formation between the midCenomanian and the CenomanianTuronian (C-T) disconformities; B (below) refers to the upper Sarvak
between the C-T and mid-Turonian disconformities.This diagenetic history comprises the transition from
marine to meteoric diagenesis (eogenetic and telogenetic phases) and subsequent burial (shallow to deep).

Fig. 5. Correlation of third order sequences in the four studied wells at Abteymour field.The sequences were determined using facies, diagenetic and palaeontological
observations; the time framework for the disconformities and sequences was based on the results of biostratigraphic analysis.The CenomanianTuronian (C-T) and
mid- Turonian unconformities which had a major impact on the reservoir quality evolution of the Sarvak Formation (and its equivalents over the Arabian Platform)
are shown.

Fig. 8. Hydraulic flow unit (HFU) determination using flow zone indicators (FZIs) and stratigraphic modified Lorenz plot (SMLP), correlated within a framework of
facies and sequences at well AT-3.There is a relatively high correspondence between the results of the two methods used for HFU determination; minor
inconsistencies are due to differences in resolution and scale of the two methods.

Fig. 9. Correlation of hydraulic flow units (HFUs) determined by the FZI method with reservoir, baffle and barrier units resulting from the SMLP method for wells
AT-1 to AT-3 within a sequence-stratigraphic framework.There is a relatively high correspondence between the results of the two methods.The new Integrated
Reservoir Zones (IRZ1-4) together with the previously-used gross reservoir zonation scheme (zone 3, zone 4) (see Table 1) are also shown and correlated.

Fig. 11. Main panel shows the correlation of hydraulic flow units (HFUs) identified using the FZI method and integrated reservoir zones (IRZs 1 to 4) within a
sequence stratigraphic framework for wells AT-1 to -3 at Abteymour field. Schematic cartoons (A, B, C and D) illustrate processes and features which controlled
reservoir qualities of these zones in different parts of the model:
(A) IRZ1 Barrier unit (tight interval): reservoir quality destruction below mid-Turonian disconformity due to extended exposure and over-mature karst profile.
(B) IRZ2 Flow unit: high reservoir quality below Cenomanian-Turonian disconformity due to karstification in shorter exposure.
(C) IRZ3 Barrier unit (tight interval): domination by low reservoir quality mud-dominated facies without secondary porosity enhancement, compartmentalizing the
reservoir.
(D) IRZ4; Flow unit: high reservoir quality resulting from burial (stylolite-related) dolomitization.
