Analysis of reservoir heterogeneities due to shallowing-upward cycles in carbonate rocks of the Pennsylvanian Wahoo Limestone of Northeastern Alaska. Annual report, September 1989--September 1990
This report presents the preliminary results of research accomplished by a team of specialists in carbonate petrology, biostratigraphy, and diagenesis during the 1989--1990 fiscal year. It includes a summary of some of the petrographic data which has been entered into a computerized database; a discussion of biostratigraphic data, particularly conodont biofacies analyses; an overview of diagenetic studies; and a section of the regional geological framework studies. The database is allowing us to test which parameters, such as ooids, can be used to recognize and understand the carbonate petrology of the shallowing-upward cycles. The cycles have been interpreted in terms of depositional environments and sea-level fluctuations and used to develop detailed facies models.
