oa Integrating Seismic Stratigraphy and Forward Stratigraphic Modeling for Prediction of Source Rocks and Tight Carbonate Facies: A Case Study from the Callovian-Oxfordian of the Eastern Saudi Arabia

The Jurassic Callovian-Oxfordian Tuwaiq Mountain and Hanifa formations contain world-class hydrocarbon source rocks and carbonate reservoir rocks in Saudi Arabia. A regional stratigraphic framework of these formations has been constructed by integrating well logs, the sedimentology of core/drill cuttings, well-log electrofacies, and 3-D seismic interpretations. Seismic sequence stratigraphic analysis and forward stratigraphic modeling played an important role in further constraining this integrated sequence stratigraphic model.
