Diagenesis of a limestone reservoir (Lower Cretaceous), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates: Comparison between the anticline crest and flanks

Petrographic, stable-isotope and fluid-inclusion analyses were conducted on a Lower Cretaceous limestone reservoir, onshore Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in order to compare the diagenetic processes and products in the oil zone (i.e. crest) versus water zone (i.e. flanks) of a giant oilfield anticline. The near-seafloor, shallow and intermediate burial (
