Structurally controlled hydrothermal dolomite reservoir facies: An overview

AAPG Bulletin, 2006
Abstract Structurally controlled hydrothermal dolomite (HTD) reservoir facies and associated productive leached limestones are major hydrocarbon producers in North America and are receiving increased exploration attention globally.

Characterization of the dolomite reservoirs with the help of photoelectric index volume

SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts 2014, 2014
Summary Carbonate sedimentary rocks that have been fractured, or dolomitized and laterally sealed by tight undolomitized limestone, are frequently seen to produce hydrocarbons. However, the differentiation between limestones and dolomites is a challenge. The purpose of this work is to describe a workflow for discriminating limestones and dolomites, and

Dolomite Reservoirs from Permian Biomicrites

1980
Abstract The recognition of both depositional facies and diagenetic events is essential to understanding the creation and preservation of the carbonate reservoir in the North McElroy Unit of Crane and Upton Counties, West Texas. The North McElroy area is located on the eastern margin of the Central Basin Platform.

Pilot Water Flooding in a Dolomite Reservoir, The McElroy Field

Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1964
Abstract The McElroy field, discovered in 1926, is one of the major oil reservoirs of West Texas. Production is obtained from the Permian Grayburg-San Andres dolomites at an average depth of 3,000 ft. Two gas injection and four waterflood pilots have been conducted in the field.

Fractures and Diagenesis, their Occurrence and Impact on Paleocene Dolomite Reservoir

Proceedings, 2013
in Carbonate reservoirs. These two natural phenomena can be acting as positive reservoir contributors, in terms of reservoir efficiency and production, and also can be acting as negative contributors. In the last years, the carbonate reservoir remains the most challengeable reservoirs in exploration and developments where their reserves estimation and

A Proven Squeeze-Cementing Technique in a Dolomite Reservoir

Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1969
Data on squeezed injection wells in a Grayburg-San Andres reservoir of West Texas indicate that a high final standing pressure is not a prerequisite for a successful squeeze. Profiles made a year after repair indicate that the wells have maintained the desired injectivity profile despite continued injection at fracturing pressure.

Selected Characteristics of Limestone and Dolomite Reservoirs in the United States

AAPG Bulletin, 1985
ABSTRACT Data from the United States Oil and Gas File (TOTL) developed by the University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma, are used to characterize the lithology, location (state and basin), geologic age, year of discovery, depth to top of pay, porosity, permeability, water saturation, volume of crude oil and nonassociated gas originally

Fault imaging in hydrothermal dolomite reservoirs: A case study

Geophysics, 2009
Abstract Most hydrocarbon fields found within the Ordovician Trenton and Black River Groups of the eastern United States and eastern Canada are associated with basement-related faults. These faults are best imaged by 3D seismic technology.

Optimization of Chemical Flooding in a Mixed-Wet Dolomite Reservoir

SPE/DOE Symposium on Improved Oil Recovery, 2006
Abstract Many pilot tests and several commercial field projects have been performed over the past few decades and have shown that surfactant/polymer and alkaline/surfactant/polymer floods can recovery high percentages of residual oil saturation.

A PERMIAN BEACH IN THE ZECHSTEIN DOLOMITES FO WESTERN POLAND: INFLUENCE ON RESERVOIRS

Journal of Petroleum Geology, 1985
Zechstein ooid grainstones, which have formed a narrow belt (several hundered meters in width) along the basin‐facing platform margin, have been greatly affected by fresh‐water diagenesis, resulting in contrasting resrvoir characteristics. fresh‐water diagenesis, which was related to a beach environment, was closely accompanied by dolomitization; there
