Origin of Carbonates

Types of carbonates Depositional systems Evolution of the fossil record Relationship to sea level change. Types of carbonate platforms produced facies Karst fracturing in carbonate systems

Core and Borehole images Identification

classification from thin section core and mud logs electrofacies from borehole images MICP porosity and permeability thin sections.

REV (Representative Elementary Volume) Upscaling data from micron to metric scale. Porosity and permeability Fractures and bioturbation influence

Rock Typing Carbonates from Log Data

Lorentz plots, Winland-R35, Flow Zone Indicators ect… Integration of NMR, ECS, Sonic BHIs and validate with core.

Facies, rock type, flow units, flow capacity, storage capacity.

Pinnacle Reefs

Origin of Pinnacle Reefs Facies of pinnacle and patch reefs Characterization of Framework Corals and Coral Talus Impact of fractures and karst on the reservoir Best practice of logging, rock typing and interpreting and building a static model.

Examples from the Middle East

Origin and development of Platform facies and facies association Identify different carbonate facies and facies associations Bioturbation, fractures and karst Review best practice of logging, rock typing and interpreting and building a static model
