Description

Hello, my name is Mehdi Daraei. I am a sedimentologist who works on carbonate sedimentology that means the study of different sedimentologic aspects of carbonate rocks. Most my recent studies are focused on the paleo-depositional environment interpretation of carbonate rocks. However, I have also conducted some research projects on carbonate reservoir geology with the aim to describe the geologic properties of carbonates reservoirs. For those who are familiar with reservoir geology, I have extended my studies to reservoir characterization, particularly the zonation of carbonate reservoirs via using different rock typing methods such as Flow Unit Indicator and/or Stratigraphic Modified Lorenz Plot. Recently, I am working on the application of neural networks on the reservoir rock classification.

Research Interests


-Reconstruction of paleo-depositional environments and settings,
-The study of diagenesis, particularly its relationship with reservoir characteristics,
-Reservoir geology and characterization,
-Sequence stratigraphy of carbonate successions.
