Low resistivity, low contrast pays: Part II-comparison of examples from Southeast Asia and the Gulf of Mexico
The Gulf of Mexico Basin (GOM) is the world's leading oil and gas producer from low resistivity, low contrast (LRLC) clastic intervals. Many GOM fields have had production from LRLC pays for more than 15 years and some for over 40 yrs. LRLC pay zones are being recognized more frequently now in other basins in the world, including southeast Asia. LRLC pays in southeast Asia have many similarities and some differences with the LRLC producing zones in the Gulf of Mexico Basin. The depositional environments containing LRLC pays in southeast Asia are (1) major regional and local marine transgressive sands, (2) deep-water sands, including levee-channel complexes, (3) deltaic channel and bar-front sands, and (4) shingled turbidites. LRLC pays in marine transgressive sands are more abundant in southeast Asia.
