Special Publication 548
More than a century of exploitation of carbonate petroleum reservoirs has placed the geoscience subsurface community in a strong position to supply a wealth of knowledge and technology to our future energy needs. This Special Publication presents the latest research from carbonate oil and gas fields and demonstrates how the skills and workflows learnt in this industry can be directly applied to geothermal and radioactive waste disposal evaluations in carbonate successions. A common theme running through the volume is the importance of recognizing high-permeability zones which can have an enormous impact on producibility, whether in oil, gas or geothermal reservoirs. As we transition to alternative energy sources, this Special Publication looks back on the positive contributions of the oil and gas industry to our scientific knowledge and understanding and discusses the ways in which carbonate and associated evaporite successions will play a critical role in our future energy needs.
