==Procedure: predicting location and quality==

How do we predict the quality of a carbonate reservoir? The procedure outlined below is one way to approach this problem. Use the parts of the suggested procedure that fit your situation.<ref name=ch09r49>Read, J., F., 1995, Overview of carbonate platform sequences, cycle stratigraphy and reservoirs in greenhouse and ice-house worlds, in Read, J.
