SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Chemical compaction is one of the most significant diagenetic processes that could considerably affect the reservoir quality and prevent the vertical movement of fluids due to cements and accumulated insoluble residues along stylolites. The bed-parallel stylolitization is a widespread feature in the lower Cretaceous Kharaib Formation which was deposited in a shallow-water marine ramp setting. Several studies in different fields in the Middle East have been conducted to understand the distribution of stylolites and their impacts on the reservoir quality.
