Seismic stratigraphy of Dinantian carbonates in the southern Netherlands and northern Belgium

Due to their potential as a petroleum or geothermal system, the Dinantian carbonates of the Netherlands have recently attracted renewed interest because of the identified presence of excellent reservoir properties. This notion contrasts with the general assumption that these carbonates are tight. Therefore, in order to give the current knowledge state, this paper re-examines the sparse publicly available well and seismic data and literature to assess the distribution and reservoir properties of the Dinantian carbonates. Dinantian carbonate deposition occurred throughout the study area (souther... Mehr ...
