This field trip gives a detailed understanding of the controls on the development of carbonate reservoirs. The influences of biota and sea level change on the facies, architecture, and reservoir characteristics of ramp and reef systems are examined. Participants will gain an understanding of the processes driving carbonate systems to reduce uncertainties in the prediction of subsurface facies and porosity distribution. The learning objectives can be applied to the entire exploration and production life-cycle to better predict carbonate reservoir potential, conduct better volumetric assessments, and create improved reservoir models.
