Petrographic data of a carbonate reservoir in a subterranean region is received. Mud content of the carbonate reservoir is determined based on the petrographic data. A depositional porosity of the carbonate reservoir is computed based on the mud content. An amount of cementation of the carbonate reservoir is determined. A porosity loss by compaction of the carbonate reservoir is determined based on the mud content and the amount of cementation of the carbonate reservoir. A post-compaction porosity of the carbonate reservoir is computed based on the depositional porosity, the mud content, the amount of cementation, and the porosity loss by compaction.
