Open caves and solution-enhanced joints influence porosity distribution and fluid flow in Yates field. Therefore, applying an accurate model for cave formation, describing the distribution of cave and karst features, and quantifying the contribution of caves to total pore volume is important in order to characterize the reservoir. Prior work showed that karst and caves in Yates field were formed by meteoric processes acting on subaerially exposed islands following San Andres deposition, and predicted that the number of open caves should decrease with depth below the top of the San Andres Formation. The current work addresses three related issues: the possibility of multiple karst events in the San Andres of Yates field and the relationship of these events to stratigraphic cyclicity, the 3-D distribution of caves in the reservoir and the areas where future well deepenings might encounter caves in the field, and the effect of subaerial exposure on porosity and permeability.
