This handbook is designed for explorationists who work in the real world and who, therefore, aren't always lucky enough to have textbook-tyPe evaluation problems in their everyday work, especially when working in carbonate reservoirs. This book is largely devoted to explaining and then illustrating a variety of techniques which can be brought to bear on carbonate-related problems. I hope you find this book useful, but that you apply these techniques with caution. They may not work every time.
