This technical report from the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin offers a detailed geological analysis of the Emma San Andres Field in West Texas. Written by S.C. Ruppel, a respected geologist known for his expertise in carbonate reservoir characterization, the report delves into the intricate interplay between facies variations and diagenetic processes that shape reservoir heterogeneity. Ruppel’s meticulous fieldwork and petrographic studies shed light on the complex depositional environments and diagenetic alterations that influenced the distribution of porosity and permeability within this prolific oil field. Beyond its immediate relevance to the Emma San Andres Field, this report serves as a valuable resource for geologists and petroleum engineers studying similar carbonate reservoirs, providing insights into the challenges and strategies for optimizing hydrocarbon recovery. Collectors of geological literature, particularly those with an interest in West Texas oil fields or carbonate reservoir characterization, will appreciate the depth of analysis and the author’s reputation in the field.
