A Classification Scheme for Mishrif Carbonate Microfacies in North-Rumaila, West-Qurna and Majnoon Fields

It is a vital subject to establish a stratigraphic tool: specifically concerns on high-resolution (HR)-facies-analysis and classification terminology for the Mishrif multi-carbonates In southern Iraq oil fields. A HR-microfacies investigation approach: is aptly submitted for petrographic – diagenetic / pore-system evaluation; to be stand-by utility for sequence stratigraphic inquiry and reservoir geology construction of the important Cenomanian – Early-Turronian carbonate succession in the southern fields. This lexicon could be considered as a supportive-data-tool to dealing with the Mishrif-carbonates-factory in the super-giant North-Rumaila, West-Qurna and Majnoon fields. The former fields are pertinently considered prototype-model; for appraising the other regions in southern Iraq.
