Evaluating uncertainty in karst pore volume (KPV) is a current industry challenge that is
critical for field development planning and optimizing recovery. Hydrocarbon pore volume in …

Evaluating uncertainty in reservoir performance related to karst is a fundamental challenge
for field development planning and optimizing recovery. Deciding which karst features …

Karstification (carbonate rock dissolution during sub aerial exposure), although frequent in
modern analogues is often underestimated and not properly modeled in carbonate …

The representation of karst petrophysical properties on geologic models has been a
challenge, mostly because of the lack of reliable information about the mega and giga pore …

Karstification was developed in the Ordovician carbonate reservoirs resulted from the action
of meteoric waters during subaerial exposure. Poor core recovery and borehole imaging …

The accurate modeling of carbonate reservoirs is a longstanding challenging task due to the
difficulties in capturing and characterizing their intrinsic multi-scale heterogeneities …

Karst reservoirs in the Tarim Basin, northwestern China, were formed by subaerial exposure
and karstification from the Ordovician formation and represent the main plays. Predicting the …

We evaluated an advanced forward-modeling-based reservoir characterization technique
that uses full elastic finite-difference simulation to investigate the limits of karst identification …

3D seismic data has the potential to provide an enormous amount of detailed information
about karst and dissolution features. However, horizon based interpretation is not well suited …

Non-matrix features in the margin area of a carbonate reservoir contribute significantly to
field in-place volumes, production rates, and recovery. These features vary in size and …
