Microfacies, diagenesis, and stable isotope analysis of Kuldhar Member Limestone (KML) has been carried out to reconstruct the depositional environment and palaeogeography as well as to evaluate the influence of diagenesis on its reservoir quality. The KML is characterized by thin bedding, a high ab...
