This paper summarizes the results of a joint EAGE/AAPG research conference that was
convened in Almeria, Spain, in October 1998. The theme of the conference was how to better
produce deep-water reservoirs based on lessons learned from the past 25 yr. A repeated
message at the conference was that there is more complexity than anticipated in turbidite
reservoirs, contrary to many people's expectations. Such complexity may go unnoticed
during initial depletion and be observed only during secondary injection of fluids. Early
recognition of shale occurrences and geometries, bed continuity, and stratigraphic
variations in net-to-gross ratios appear to be the main issues related to maximizing well
performance.
