1. Diagenesis may have a significant effect on reservoir rocks. What are the
major processes and explain how these affect the reservoir quality.
2. What are the dominant reservoirs in the existing fields on the Norwegian
Shelf? Give some examples.
3. Carbonate reservoirs is sometimes said to be more complicated and
unpredictable than siliciclastic reservoirs. What are the main reasons.
4. Why is a shallow marine (beach) siliciclastic reservoir considered as very
good compared to other reservoirs.
5. What effect does Karstification have on carbonate reservoir rocks; How
does it impact the planning of drilling wells.
