Understanding the controls on carbonate play typ e distribution and geometry is critical to more successful exploration in any basin. As such, delineating potential carbonate plays from seismic or wireline logs requires a sound understanding of the depositional and diage netic controls that create the reservoir facies, but it must be obtained w ithin the context of geological age and physiographic setting. Specificall y, one must appreciate the environmental controls on carbonate facies deve lopment, and potential pathways for diagenesis and porosity evolution. For this reason, strategies employed in the search for sandstone or mudstone reservoirs never work for carbonate sequences, including application of se quence stratigraphic models that assume sea level changes overridingly con trol carbonate facies and sequence evolution.\nThis one-day short course r eviews the key controls on carbonate facies occurrence and distribution, a nd demonstrates the strong influence of physiographic setting, both at the global and local scale. Because most carbonate reservoirs were developed within tropical or subtropical settings, paleotrade winds often were a maj or influence on their occurrence and distribution. In addition, the key co ntrols influencing limestone diagenesis and dolomitization are reviewed, b ut with focused emphasis on how porosity and permeability evolve. The diag enesis discussion also will stress how to resolve the relative timing of s econdary porosity development in these carbonates, which is key to exploit ing regional porosity trends. The diagenesis discussion will further evalu ate the role that deep-seated faulting often plays in carbonate diagenesis and development of reservoir quality, as well as hydrocarbon entrapment.\ nThis short course culminates with a discussion relating carbonate play ty pe occurrence, geometry and distribution to geological age, but in the con text of physiographic setting (platform versus ramp).

Controls on Carbonate Play Development in the Paleozoic of West Texas and New Mexico< /h3>

Summary

A carbonate play is the juxtaposition of a limestone or dolostone reservoir facies sealed by a carbonate or shale facies, with its hydrocarbons sourced from a nearby organic-rich carbonate or silicicla stic mudstone. Understanding the controls on carbonate play type distribut ion and geometry is critical to more successful exploration in any basin. As such, delineating potential carbonate plays from seismic or wireline lo gs requires a sound understanding of the depositional and diagenetic contr ols that create the reservoir facies, but it must be obtained within the c ontext of geological age and physiographic setting. \;Specifically, on e must appreciate the environmental controls on carbonate facies developme nt, and potential pathways for diagenesis and porosity evolution. For this reason, strategies employed in the search for sandstone or mudstone reser voirs never work for carbonate sequences, including application of sequenc e stratigraphic models that assume sea level changes overridingly control carbonate facies and sequence evolution.

This one-day short course reviews the key controls on carbonate facies occurrence and distribution, and demonstrates the strong influence of physiographic setting, both at th e global and local scale. Because most carbonate reservoirs were developed within tropical or subtropical settings, paleotrade winds often were a ma jor influence on their occurrence and distribution. In addition, the key c ontrols influencing limestone diagenesis and dolomitization are reviewed, but with focused emphasis on how porosity and permeability evolve. The dia genesis discussion also will stress how to resolve the relative timing of secondary porosity development in these carbonates, which is key to exploi ting regional porosity trends. The diagenesis discussion will further eval uate the role that deep-seated faulting often plays in carbonate diagenesi s and development of reservoir quality, as well as hydrocarbon entrapment.

This short course culminates with a discussion relating carbonate play type occurrence, geometry and distribution to geological age, but in the context of physiographic setting (platform versus ramp). This approach will be supported by case studies from different basins, and then applied to Paleozoic play type examples from West Texas and New Mexico.

In 1986, he started his own consulting practice in Houston. In 19 88, he founded Dravis Interests, Inc. to provide technical expertise and t raining in applied carbonate petroleum geology to the oil and gas industry . In May of 2000, Dravis Geological Services was created to handle all tec hnical consulting projects\; Dravis Interests, Inc. is now responsible for all training activities.
