The Studied dolomites primarily consist of subhedral to euhedral dolosparite.
The porosity is increasing laterally while going toward the fractures and vertically from the base to the top of the dolomitic member, which shows the role of the fracturing in the porogenesis.
The mineralogical and geochemical analyses of dolomite carried out respectively by X-ray diffraction and atomic absorption show that the studied dolomites broadly range from a sub-stoechiometric dolomite (48%) far from the fractures to a dolomitic calcite (84%) near the fractures.
Therefore, it seems that if the Bireno dolomitic member is rather a good reservoir, it is thanks to the associated networks of fractures.
