• Cover image shows a photomicrograph of a Middle Miocene carbonate reservoir rock from the Ca Voi Xanh gas field, offshore Vietnam. The grainstone contains red algal fragments and large benthic foraminifera; porosity is shown in blue. Carbonates at this field underwent predominately early meteoric dissolution and variable levels of cementation. Reservoir rocks at Ca Voi Xanh are the subject of the paper on pp 5-26 of this issue by Strohmenger et al. Photo by C. J. Strohmenger (ExxonMobil).
