Abstract
Why Carbonate Reservoirs Are Heterogeneous: Examples From Permian Basin Reservoirs
Abstract
Carbonate reservoirs are inherently heterogeneous and challenging to secondary and tertiary recovery, due to: 1) the depositional environment; 2) the diagenesis that modified the sediment/rock; 3) the nature of the enclosing trap; and 4) the properties of the fluids/gases that filled the 
reservoir
.
Utilizing the above criteria gives an operating company opportunities to recover additional mobile oil (Fig. 1). To achieve this requires continuous characterization and management of a reservoir
from discovery through primary, secondary and tertiary recovery operations prior to abandonment.
