RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PLIOCENE RED SERIES, LAM FIELD AND SURROUNDING AREAS, OFFSHORE WESTERN TURKMENISTAN

The sedimentology, petrography and reservoir potential of Pliocene sandstones within the Upper Red Series in the offshore LAM field, Western Turkmenistan, have been examined. Depositional settings are interpreted within the framework of the Red Series palaeoenvironments across the entire Turkmen sector of the Apsheron‐Prebalkhan uplift zone, including its onshore extension to the east.
