Diagenetic Processes and Reservoir Heterogeneity in Salt-Encased Microbial Carbonate Reservoirs (Late Neoproterozoic, Oman)

(a) Overview map of the Late Ediacaran to Early Cambrian salt basins of interior Oman (left part; modified after [14, 25]). The study area (marked by the yellow rectangle) is located in the southwestern part of the South Oman Salt Basin. (b) Geochronology and lithostratigraphy were adapted from Sharland et al. [73], Bowring et al. 2001, Allen [18], and Al-Husseini [74]. The lithostratigraphic composite log on the right (not to scale) shows the six carbonate to evaporite sequences of the Ara Group.
