| Summary: | 1, 2, and 3) were deposited in fluvial, deltaic, eolian and 3 is identified as the poorest. Facies 2 has intermediate and dolomitic mudstones and wackestones. It has sharp contacts with the carbonates of the underlying Seven Rivers continuity of the elastic reservoirs in this formation. correlated to identify the quality, lateral extent and data, along with measured data from well logs, was then deposited across the back-reef shelves of the Permian basin deposited in a shallow subtidal environments and one determined by the correlation of cores and well log data environment. The stratigraphy of the Yates Formation was evaporate facies (Facies 5) was deposited in a sabkha Facies 1 is identified as the best reservoir rock and Facies for porosity and permeability measurements. This physical Formation and evaporite-rich beds of the underlying Tansill Formation and its bounding surfaces on the basis of their Formation consists of sub-arkosic sandstones and siltstones Formation. Each sequence consists of basal lowstand incised Formation. Five facies are distinguished in the Yates Goat Seep Reefs and deep-basinal Delaware Mountain Group. in Late Permian (Upper Guadalupian) time. The Artesia Group is the shelfal equivalent of the shelf-marginal Capitan and lithologies and stratification. Three elastic facies (Facies marking two long-term cycles of relative sea level fall and of interbedded carbonates, clastics and evaporates that was quality. sabkha environments. One carbonates facies (Facies 4) was strike and dip profiles through the field. Two sequences and subsequent rise in the field area.Reservoir properties of the Systems Tract (TST') and Highstand Systems Tract (HST). The ten to twelve parasequences are recognized within the Yates the strike direction and thin in the landward direction, The Yates Formation is part of the Artesia Group, a sequence This study is based on the description of seven cores and twenty-two well logs from North Ward-Estes field along the two sequences which have slightly wavy sheet geometries in valley fill (IVF), which is overlain by a Transgressive western margin of the Central Basin Platform. The Yates Yates Formation were determined by the use of core plug data |
