The SEPM Core Workshop Series deserves a special shout-out and recognition for its importance to the understanding of carbonate reservoirs because it is a unique compilation of some 100 fields and reservoirs from around the world and from all the prolific producing ages throughout the Phanerozoic. Obviously, the series emphasis is on subsurface cores as a critical data set. These are to be integrated with logs and seismic for the principle purpose of subsurface carbonate reservoir characterization. The core workshops are thematic. Each workshop dedicates its case studies to a key carbonate reservoir type, as given in its book title. Nowadays, many operating companies consider cores, as well as other subsurface data such as well logs and seismic, proprietary physical assets and intellectual property. As such, they are hesitant to release for publication photos and figures from recently discovered carbonate fields. This is to retain competitive advantage. Because of this, these core workshop volumes take on significant value for their core photos, supplemental data, and interpretations. They may never be duplicated. So, practitioners are encouraged to seek out these volumes to review the photographs, descriptions, analyses, and interpreted carbonate reservoir rock textures and fabrics because they will provide useful comparisons to rocks and cores that you are studying.
