Carbonates represent major hydrocarbon reservoirs, but often exhibit highly heterogeneous reservoir properties. Outcrop analogues provide important insights into how parameters such as porosity, permeability and natural fractures vary. As such, outcrops can bridge the scale gap between spatially ext...
