Integrated Approach For Stratigraphic Characterization Of Lower Cretaceous Carbonate Reservoir In North Kuwait

Ratawi Limestone in the study area was dposited under transgression and high stand occurences within protected mud dominated condition.The prograding and retrograding (back stepping) geometries controlled the reservoir distribution and entrapment as well as the late digenetic process. The depositional model of the area was constructed using the integrated approach and calibrated with the analogue from cuba. The lateral patchy distribution of the reservoir , that developed by the nature of depositional setting was also reflected at the reservoir quality scale. This was captured from core to seismic scale and feed into the static model to delineate the stratigraphic sweets in the study area for further exploration and development activities .
