Summary Yamama Formation is one of the promising carbonate reservoirs of early cretaceous in the southeastern Iraq. Taking it as an example, this paper aims to recognized bioclastic type, and analyse their characteristics and effects on reservoir property. A total of 12 bioclastic were recognized in Yamama Formation based on cast thin sections, which are Green Algae, Lithocodium/Bacinella, Peloids, Rudist, Echinoderms, Sponge, Bivalves, Sponge spicules, Ostracods, Gastropods, Benthic Foraminifera, and Coral. diverse bioclastic in reservoir would experience different diagenesis and form diverse pores. The moldic pores and visceral foramen come from the dissolution of Green Algae, Lithocodium/Bacinella, and Benthic Foraminifera, which has an important contribution to porosity, but has little influence on permeability, resulting in the formation of high-porosity and low-permeability reservoirs. The Peloids and Echinoderms, whose chemical property is stable and not prone to be dissolved, have little effect on porosity, but affect permeability. The higher the Peloids and Echinoderms content, the better the permeability of the reservoir. Other bioclastic content is relatively small, which has little influence on the reservoir property.
