- Summary:
- This book integrates those critical geologic aspects of reservoir formation and occurrence with engineering aspects of reservoirs, and presents a comprehensive treatment of the geometry, porosity and permeability evolution, and producing characteristics of carbonate reservoirs. The three major themes discussed are: the geometry of carbonate reservoirs and relationship to original depositional facies distributions the origin and types of porosity and permeability systems in carbonate reservoirs and their relationship to post-depositional diagenesis the relationship between dep
