Abstract
Limestone and dolomite reservoirs account for approximately 50% of oil and gas production worldwide, yet<br>seismic responses in carbonate rocks are poorly understood. Development of a carbonate rock physics model is<br>extremely difficult because pore systems are more complex in carbonates than they are in clastics. Carbonates can<br>have a variety of pore types, such as moldic, vuggy, interparticle, and intraparticle.
