A method for quantitative determination of the permeability and porosity evolution of a porous medium during diagenesis having application to oil reservoir development is disclosed. A diagenesis scenario and an initial structure of the pore network of the porous medium are defined.;A representation of the pore network is constructed by a PNM model. The steps of the diagenesis scenario are determining the ion concentration on the pore and channel walls of the PNM model, for a precipitation or dissolution reaction according to the scenario, and deducing therefrom a geometry variation of the PNM model, the porosity is calculated geometrically and the permeability is calculated from Darcy's law for the modified PNM model; the foregoing steps are repeated according to the diagenesis scenario and a relationship is deduced between the permeability of the porous medium and the porosity of the porous medium during diagenesis.
