The Devonian Jauf Formation crops out in northwestern Saudi Arabia (Powers et al., 1966; Powers, 1968), and was mapped in several quadrangles by the Saudi Arabian DMMR (now Saudi Geological Survey, SGS), the French Geological Survey (BRGM) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS).Some of the quadrangles where the formation is described …
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), covering an area of 2.25 million km 2 with limited fresh water supplies, is an arid and water-deficit country. It lacks perennial rivers or permanent water bodies. Characterized by low rainfall and high evaporation rates, KSA is one of the driest areas of the world.

Saudi Arabia has limited groundwater resources stored in the sedimentary sequence of the Arabian Shelf. Some of these resources were classified as major aquifers, secondary and minor aquifers, and some were considered as aquicludes. The Jubaila Limestone is one of the secondary aquifers of Saudi Arabia.

An integrated petrographic and petrophysical study of Arab-D carbonates in Ghawar field has provided a new reservoir rock classification. This classification provides a simple but practical method of dividing the complex carbonate rocks of the Arab-D into meaningful reservoir rock types. Each rock type has a distinct pore network as defined by porosity-permeability …

The Kingdom ranks thirteenth globally in terms of the abundance and diversity of minerals and mineral resources that exceed forty-eight types, and includes about fifteen minerals that can be exploited economically.
Numerous ways of calculating permeability from wireline logs have been tried. The most popular has been the porosity-permeability transform. This approach fails because permeability is a function of interparticle porosity and pore size, not simply of porosity (Pittman, 1992).Another approach is to relate permeability to water saturation, porosity, and capillary …
