Dariyan formation is one of the oil reservoirs in the south pars field. This formation has been studied in wells SPO-1, SPO -2 and Spo-3. Thickness of Dariyan formation in mentioned wells are 109, 113 and 114 meters respectively. Based on the studies of thin sections from the Dariyan formation of three above mentioned wells, nine carbonate and one detrital facies have been identified within four facies associations including tidal flat (Mudstone), lagoon (Bioclast mudstone to wackstone, Bioclast peloid wackstone to packstone, Bioclast peloid packstone to grainstone, Algal boundstone), Mid ramp (Echinoid mollusk wackstone to packstone, Orbitolina wackstone to packstone, Framestone, Floatstone) and outer ramp (Shale). Facies studies indicate that Dariyan formation has been deposited in a homoclinal ramp.The Dariyan formation has been affected by four diagenetic stages, including marine, meteoric, burial and uplift. The most important identified diagenetic processes are micritization, bioturbation, geopetal, physical and chemical compaction, cementation, neomorphism, replacement, dissolution, fracturing and filling. Among the all diagenesis process, dissolution and fracturing are the major processes improving reservoir quality. In Contrary, physical compaction and especially cementation are the main processes redusing reservoir quality. Dissolution process with generating secondary porosity consists of vuggy and moldic, has important effect on increasing of porosity. Most of the dissolution features have been produced during the meteoric diagenesis and less through burial diagenesis. Dissolution process with develop the vuggy pores caused to connect them in some case and also affected on fractures , stylolites and previous diagenetic cements in upper and lower members of daryian formation which eventually has been increased permeability and reservoir quality. Also, Fracturing, the main other diagenetic process with connect the some individual vuggy and moldic pores together has effective role to increase the permeability and reservoir quality in upper and lower parts of Dariyan formation.
