Reservoir characterization of the Mississippian Madison Formation,Wind River basin,Wyoming

摘要

Significant heterogeneity in petrophysical properties,including variations in porosity and permeability,are well documented from carbonate systems.These variations in physical properties are typically influenced by original facies heterogeneity,the early diagenetic environment,and later stage diagenetic overprint.The heterogeneities in the Mississippian Madison Formation in the Wind River basin of Wyoming are a complex interplay between these three factors whereby differences from the facies arrangement are first reduced by pervasive dolomitization,but late-stage hydrothermal diagenesis introduces additional heterogeneity.
