Large oil accumulation discoveries in the last decade in the pre-salt rock succession off the Brazilian coast aroused renewed interest in carbonate reservoirs, prompting several studies aiming at unravelling the conditions of formation of these rocks. Despite that, there are still many gaps in the k...
