Lithofacies

Ooid packstone-grainstone (Reservoir): Typically massive, horizontally bedded or crossbedded and typically interbedded with undifferentiated packstone-grainstone and wackestone-packstone facies. Ooids compose more than 80% of the grains but other coated grains, peloids, and lumps are also present. This facies indicates higher energy deposition in subtidal to pertidal settings. This facies typically has good oomoldic and intercrystalline porosity and variable moderate to high permeability.
