The formation shows a complex internal stratigraphic architecture and significant lateral variations in reservoir character. During a 3-day workshop held in Oman, which was attended by Shu aiba experts all over the world, a common understanding of the stratigraphic framework was reached, which led to a consistent regional model at the scale of the southernArabian Plate.
