MULTISCALE CORE-SEISMIC ANALYSIS FOR KARST CHARACTERISATION OF MX FIELD, CENTRAL LUCONIA PROVINCE, OFFSHORE SARAWAK, MALAYSIA

This study follows an integrated approach attempting to characterize karst morphologies in Middle Miocene carbonate build-ups of Central Luconia. Karst is a common phenomenon in carbonate buildups world-wide. It has significant economic implications for exploration, drilling, field development and s...
