Anatomy of a Giant Carbonate Reservoir

102-GiantCarbonateReservoir, 01 January 2012

Studies 63 documents, in detail, the necessary steps required to develop and test methodologies for improved imaging, measurement, modeling, and prediction of reservoir properties in carbonate reservoirs. The multidisciplinary study integrates geology, geophysics, petrophysics, engineering, and reservoir modeling to define reservoir architecture and the distribution of remaining oil in one of the largest carbonate reservoirs in the Permian Basin. The methods and results detailed here provide an excellent basis for improved characterization and remaining resource targeting that can be applied to all carbonate reservoirs.
