| dc.description.abstract | The Ogaden basin is the largest sedimentary basin in Ethiopia having 350,000 km2 areal coverage. It is also the most studied sedimentary basin in Ethiopia. Nonetheless, the amount of data gathered from this baisn is not enough to better comprehend the petroleum system of the basin. The Hamanlei carbonate rock in the basin makes good reservoir rock. The nature of this reservoir rock is complex owing to various factors. Despite detail studies were conducted to understand the reservoir property, particularly core and wireline log study, further studies are needed for better characterization of this reservoir rock. To further characterize the reservoir property, i.e. porosity, of this rock and prediction for reservoir quality, petrographic and image analysis were performed. The outcome of this study provides valuable insights into the mineralogy and texture of the studied rocks. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of understanding the different pore types that enables to better interpret the reservoir quality and potential flow characteristics of the studied rocks. Generally, the porosity value of the reservoir rock is too small which is caused by the dominant proportion of matrix and cement | |
