This book is one of the first to capture a broad spectrum of carbonate reservoir/field examples from across the world and throughout the Phanerozoic. Roehl and Choquette have compiled 35 case studies: 19 – Paleozoic, 12 – Mesozoic, and 4- Cenozoic with the extensive help of 55 contributors from both industry and academia. The book begins with an introductory synthesis of the carbonate case studies in terms of reservoir hydrocarbon volumes, temporal/spatial distribution, and reservoir parameters. Following the introduction are the cases. Each case study begins with a "Reservoir Summary" table consisting of critical geologic information, reservoir rock and fluid parameters, and production history. Then the write-up for each case study includes similar elements of depositional facies, setting, and environments, followed by stratigraphy and diagenesis. There is not a standard format; write-ups are author specific and tailored to critical details for the subject reservoir/field. An important element of the book is that the case studies are distributed worldwide from proven, prolific carbonate basins in North and South America, Europe, and the Arabia Gulf Regions. With these key field and reservoir examples, the volume is a robust spatial/temporal sampling of producing carbonate reservoirs from various tectonic settings, trap types, facies, pore structure, and stratigraphic architecture that any practitioner in industry could use for references and analogues while working at almost any district or exploration office to which he/she might be assigned.
