“…Recent studies on the isolated platform (Hakiki, Sekti, Simo, Fullmer, & Musgrove, ; Sharaf, BouDagher‐Fadel, Simo, & Carroll, ; Sharaf, Simo, Carroll, & Shields, ; Simo et al, ; White et al, ) showed that development of the carbonate platform was also influenced by relative sea level changes including a significant drop in sea level at the Oligo‐Miocene boundary, called the Mi‐1 event related with Antarctic ice‐volume expansion (Paul, Zachos, Flower, & Tripati, ; Zachos, Shackleton, Revenaugh, Pälike, & Flower, ). The global drop in sea level also resulted in diagenetic alteration of the carbonate sediments in the NEJB (Hakiki, Musgrove, Varnai, Ditya, & Sapardina, ; van‐Simaeys et al, ; Zeiza, van‐Simaeys, Musgrove, Sekti, & Hakiki, ), potentially influencing the petrophysical properties of the carbonate reservoir.…”
