Abstract
Characterization and Categorization of West Texas Ellenburger Reservoirs
Abstract
The initial depositional environment and postdepositional history of Ellenburger reservoirs in West Texas allows their classification into three reservoir groups: (1) Ellenburger karst-modified dolostones, (2) Ellenburger ramp carbonates, and (3) Ellenburger tectonically fractured dolostones. This classification assists in the exploration, development, and redevelopment of Ellenburger oil and gas reservoirs. Syndepositional-through-burial dolomitization events and tectonics influenced lithologic distribution and porosity and permeability. Together these rock traits control the heterogeneity of Ellenburger reservoirs. Through regional geologic studies, core studies, and statistical analysis of reservoir characteristics, the interplay of the rock characteristics was defined, thus allowing the categorization of Ellenburger reservoirs into the three aforementioned broad groups.
