Sedimentology, Depositional Environment and Reservoir Quality of the Miri Formation and the Lambir Formation in Miri, Sarawak

In Miri, shallow marine rock formations represent important analogues to the age equivalent, hydrocarbon-bearing offshore in Baram Province. Based on the sedimentological data gathered from all of the outcrops, the depositional environment or paleoenvironment of the rock formations was studied to re...
