Description

Special Publication 370

Carbonate reservoirs contain an increasingly important percentage of the world’s hydrocarbon reserves. This volume presents key recent advances in carbonate exploration and reservoir analysis. As well as a comprehensive overview of the trends in carbonate over the years, the volume focuses on four key areas:
(1) emerging plays and techniques with special reference to lacustrine plays in syn-rift basins and development of super-giant heavy oil plays
(2) improved reservoir characterization with examples from the Middle East and Europe and case studies of how outcrop analogues can provide key data for input to geological models
(3) impact of fractures and faults in carbonates contributors highlight the need for integrated structural and diagenetic approaches in order to understand how fractures evolve as fluid-flow conduits
(4) advances in geomodelling of carbonate reservoirs several papers discuss the application of new and innovative geomodelling and geostatistical techniques to carbonate reservoirs.

This timely volume dealing with recent techniques in exploration and analysis of carbonate reservoirs assumes a great importance to oil industries as well as academics as these contain nearly 60% of total hydrocarbon reserves. Besides the excellent Introduction by the editors, (Chapter 1) and subsequent comprehensive summary on carbonate petroleum reservoirs (Burchette, Chapter 2), it contains 13 other chapters on different topics by various expert authors that are informative, useful and of lasting value.

I congratulate the editors, all authors and the publisher for this wonderful addition to the literature on carbonate reservoirs and modelling. Hence, I strongly and whole-heartedly recommend it to librarians of leading oil companies and research institutes to buy a copy.
