Oman Palaeokarst Research
Dissolution associated with subaerial exposure is thought to be responsible for much of the secondary porosity in the Cretaceous carbonate reservoirs of northeast Arabia. However, the location of these subaerial exposure surfaces in time and space has not been well documented. Outcrops in the Central Oman Mountains provide an excellent opportunity to detect the existence of subaerial exposure surfaces and understand the potential influence of the exposure surfaces on reservoir development.
