A compilation of average porosity and permeability data for Cretaceous petroleum reservoirs
of the Middle East reveals important differences between the two main tectonic provinces …

This paper presents a work-flow process to describe and characterize tight gas sands. The
ultimate objective of this work-flow is to provide a consistent methodology to systematically …

The heterogeneity and complexity of gas shales cause substantial and often inexplicable
variability in the production histories of gas wells. A major factor contributing to this variability …

Important hydrocarbon accumulations occur in platform carbonates of the Lower Cretaceous
Kharaib (Barremian and early Aptian) and Shuaiba (Aptian) formations (upper Thamama …

To optimise recovery in naturally fractured reservoirs, the field-scale distribution of fracture
properties must be understood and quantified. We present a method to systematically …

We have analyzed two recently acquired multi-channel seismic profiles across the Reed
Bank area, South China Sea. A detailed seismic interpretation coupled with drilling data has …

Abstract: The vertical distribution of bedding-parallel stylolites in cores from the
approximately 50-m-thick Thamama-B reservoir zone of the Lower Cretaceous Kharaib …

The identification and interpretation of drowning events in the geologic record can aid
significantly to the reconstruction of the depositional, tectonic and eustatic history of a study …

Carbonates in the Lower Cretaceous (Barremian to early Aptian) Kharaib Formation are
reservoir rocks at giant oil fields in the UAE and Qatar. The Barremian Kharaib‐2 member …

Oil charge is thought to inhibit the growth of cements within subsurface pore systems. We
explore this phenomenon in a giant Cretaceous carbonate field from UAE, where the oil …
