Geology of Carbonate Reservoirs
Wiley-Interscience (Verlag)
978-0-470-16491-4 (ISBN)
An accessible resource, covering the fundamentals of carbonate reservoir engineering
Includes discussions on how, where and why carbonate are formed, plus reviews of basic sedimentological and stratigraphic principles to explain carbonate platform characteristics and stratigraphic relationships
Offers a new, genetic classification of carbonate porosity that is especially useful in predicting spatial distribution of pore networks.
