Carbonate rocks comprise between 10 and 15 per cent of sedimentary rocks and are primarily composed of two distinct types: limestones and dolostones.

Limestones are primarily composed of calcite, while dolostones are primarily comprised of dolomite. Carbonate materials are typically soluble in waters with a slightly acidic level, so they typically present good permeability and porosity. Consequently, carbonates are ideal petroleum reservoirs.
