Karst Modeling of a Miocene Carbonate Build-Up in Central Luconia, SE Asia: Challenges in Seismic Characterisation and Geological Model Building

The development of the Central Luconia carbonate build-ups were strongly influenced by the interplay between eustatic sealevel<br>and basinal tectonics. The Alpha field addressed here is one of the seismically best imaged isolated carbonate platforms<br>in Central Luconia and dendritic features, interpreted as karst, were found to be very prominent throughout the field. Karst is a<br>diagenetic facies, an overprint in sub-aerially exposed carbonate bodies produced and controlled by dissolution and migration<br>of calcium carbonate in meteoric waters.
