Measured porosity and permeability were integrated with thin section petrography and pertophysical attributes derived from mercury intrusion to form an essential outline for Khartam reservoirs of the Permo-Triassic Khuff Formation. Porosity-permeability distribution of thirty two outcrop core samples delineates an existence of five demonstrative pertophysical facies. Thin section petrography reveals dissolution as principal diagenetic feature controlling fluid flow in Khartam reservoirs.

With reference to the reservoir characterization regarding the Khuff Formation – Khurtam Member (KSA), better reservoir quality prediction can be assigned to the characterization of its physical properties. These properties determination are depending on facies description. These properties can be erratic according to the diagenetic change and control on pore geometrical attributes and reservoir characterization. In this investigation, permeability and porosity have been measured in the laboratory.

Permanent and temporary seismic stations that were deployed at Lunayyir area before and shortly after the occurrence of the 19 May, 2009 earthquake swarm (Mw 5.7) have recorded a number great of events. The main objective is to determine the tectonic framework of the area and prepare more representative tectonic model for the area.
