Regional versus Global Controls on the Diagenesis and Reservoir Quality of Tertiary Carbonate Platforms

Abstract

This research is to assess the influence of regional versus global controls on the diagenesis and reservoir quality of Tertiary carbonate platforms. The three main objectives are: (1) to evaluate controlling influences on diagenesis, fracturing and potential reservoir quality of a Cenozoic syntectonic carbonate platform (Tonasa Formation, Indonesia). (2) To contribute towards understanding diagenetic alteration of volcanogenic covered and/or influenced carbonate platforms. (3) To evaluate controlling influences on diagenetic variability of slope and basinal deposits.
