Using Oracles ODP.NET 12c Release 2 with Oracle 11g r2 Database

Question

Our Oracle Db's are Oracle 11G r2,. We use Visual Studio 2013 for development. Is ODAC 12C backwards compatible with the Oracle 11g r2 server? Are there any issues a developer will encounter using a newer ODAC /ODP.NET version than the database it's connecting to?
