Cenozoic Isolated Carbonate Platforms—Focus Southeast Asia
Eugene C. Rankey and Michael C. Pöppelreiter
Isolated carbonate platforms are abundant and widespread in Cenozoic strata in present-day oceans of Southeast Asia including the Central Luconia Province of Malaysia.
These carbonates buildups can be several 100s meters tall and are constructed mainly by corals in association with red algae and foraminifera. These isolated carbonate platforms have been a target of petroleum exploration for many decades, and many are now being converted for carbon capture projects.
These reservoirs have served as a classic laboratory for development of important concepts in carbonate geology, and yet many important questions remain.
The papers in SEPM Special Publication 114 provide a synthesis of these important strata. Starting with stratigraphic and regional perspectives, the volume describes modern and outcrop analogs, and dives into several specific subsurface examples.
Covering exploration history, tectonic setting, biostratigraphy, depositional and diagenetic aspects, and modeling of these systems, the volume presents a wealth of new data, including previously proprietary data.
The Special Publication reflects the current state of understanding, to explore gaps in knowledge, and casts a glance towards the future of the play. This volume will be of interest to geologists, geophysicists, and reservoir modelers working on carbonate reservoirs, in Southeast Asia and beyond.
