Deparment of Geology, Univesty of Swab, KPK, Pakistan 2. School of Geography & Tourism, Shaanxi Normal Uni Abstract The present study is focused on the reservoir modelling of the middle Jurassic Samana Suk Formation based on microfacies and diagenetic studies. The rocks under investigations are dominantly composed of limestone with inter-bedded sandstone and marls. The petrographic studies revealed four microfacies including Pelletal Mudstone, Dolomitized Wackstone, Bioclastic Dolomitized Mudstone and Quartz Arenite. The presence of micritic matrix and pellets suggests that environment of deposition for the carbonates is low energy lagoonal conditions while the sandstone microfacies is deposited in the beach environment. The diagenetic processes, noticed in the Samana Suk Formation, includes micritization, dolomitization, cementation, compaction and fracturing. The digenetic processes has mostly enhanced the reservoir potential of the Formation while at some part of the unit, it has influenced negatively. The petrographic studies indicates that rock unit possess good porosity values. On the basis of present study it is concluded that the Samana Suk Formation is a good reservoir in the study area.
