oa Application of a Fourth-Order Stratigraphic Framework for the Mishrif Member: A Basis for Mapping Lithofacies Variability & Petroleum Systems in the Rub'Al-Khali Basin of Saudi Arabia

New biostratigraphic interpretations have provided a basis for identifying fourth-order cycles within the Mishrif Member, and can be tied to log and seismic data, allowing construction of chronostratigraphic lithofacies maps. Higher-frequency depositional cyclicity is also observed, and it is possible to interpret individual geobodies in areas with 3D seismic coverage and well control.
