Abstract

Abstract Several different pore systems are present in dolomite reservoir rocks of the Red River formation (Upper Ordovician) at Cabin Creek field, MT. Each system is associated with particular depositional environments and diagenetic regimes. Pore geometry is mostly a function of the size and shape of the dolomite crystals composing the rock matrix. Mean pore-throat size, a statistical measure of pore geometry, increases as porosity percent increases, depending on the type of dolomite. This relationship permits prediction of reservoir pore geometry and a better assessment of recovery efficiency once lithofacies distribution, porosity origin, and diagenetic history have been determined for the reservoir by study of cores and rock thin-sections.
