undulations in the lamination and the related smaller scale scour-and-fill systems are abundant in
some regions.
6. The conceptual geological model provided the possibility to create a training image for a multi-point
statistics facies modelling algorithm. Compared to other conventional methods, this relatively new
technique resulted in a geologically more realistic facies model which can be validated by comparison
with outcrop data. This model can be used to distribute reservoir properties for volume calculation
and dynamic simulations.
7. Effective porosities ranging from 0.45 to 0.65 (fraction of bulk volume) and permeability values of
tens of darcy are promising regarding the hydrocarbon reservoir potential. The presence of cement
around fractures and the fact that hardly any compaction has taken place however, requires a more
comprehensive analysis of diagenetic processes when comparing the Favignana calcarenite to an
analogue reservoir in the subsurface.
8. The Asmari limestone reservoirs in the Middle East show similar depositional environments. This
study might provide new insight in the architecture of these reservoirs, and can therefore help the
accurate static and dynamic modelling of these reservoirs. A new foramol-associated giant gas field
in Venezuela might also be a very useful application for the result of this study.
