Course Objectives
- Learning how Carbonates are formed and change through time resulting in the carbonate reservoirs.
- Learning how to identify carbonate faces
- Understanding the effect of sequence stratigraphy on carbonates,
- Determining the controlling factors for porosity in carbonate reservoirs
