Abstract

The Asmari reservoir properties in various hydrocarbon fields across the Dezful Embayment (SW Iran) are modified by dolomitization. Petrographic and geochemical analyses of the dolomitized Asmari Formation units highlight their origin in the Bibi Hakimeh and Gachsaran oilfields. The petrographic studies revealed that dolomite in the Asmari Formation can be classified texturally (based on crystal sizes) into three main groups: (i) very fine crystalline (D1, 150 μm). Petrography, fluid inclusions, stable isotopes (δ13C, δ18O), radiogenic isotopes (86Sr/88Sr) and major and trace elemental analyses were used to interpret the origin and paragenetic sequence of each dolomite group. Pervasive dolomitization prevails in the upper part of the Asmari...
