Abstract
Much previous exploration in the Minagish Field of Kuwait has concentrated upon prospectivity of the principle structures facilitated by 3D seismic with much less attention directed toward stratigraphic studies. Therefore, questions concerning the seismic imagery of carbonate reservoir quality and seal potential owing to facies changes accompanying allocyclic (global tectono-eustatic) and autocyclic (depositonal) processes with a paragenetic overprint (diagenetic-fracture history) have been only modestly studied. The focus of this investigation is upon the carbonate seismic facies placed within a sequence stratigraphic framework.
