Utilizing facies and lithofacies thin sections and laboratory experimental techniques for Late Cenomanian-Early Turonian carbonate reservoir characterization in an Iraqi oilfield

Key Points

• Late Cenomanian-Early Turonian carbonate reservoirs show distinct lithofacies features critical for assessment.
• Detailed analysis of thin sections revealed specific carbonate structures and quality indicators.
• Utilization of laboratory techniques enhanced understanding of reservoir characteristics and behaviors.
• Findings suggest improved methods for exploration and extraction of hydrocarbons from complex geological formations.
