Abstract
Sedimentary reservoir rocks often present heterogeneous pore structures that are inherently related to the original rock<br>texture and subsequent diagenetic alterations. Such alterations are governed by the original rock texture, the involved fluids,<br>the flow history, and the physico-chemical conditions. Throughout the paragenesis, alternating dissolution and precipitation<br>caused by changes in chemical and thermodynamic conditions may lead to heterogeneous rock properties at both local and<br>reservoir scale.
