Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to illustrate the principles of seismic facie analysis used in the interpretation of sedimentary rocks, in siliciclastic deposits, especially in molassic one. The recognition and definition of a seismic facies and the analysis of its vertical evolution (facies associations) lead to an environmental interpretation, which can give useful information on both sedimentary facies and reservoir characteristics. With this aim, the major depositional systems, from continental to deep marine, and the depositional elements in which they can be subdivided, will be briefly overviewed in terms of extension, geometry, continuity and lateral variations. For each of these systems, it is pointed out, the major physical active processes during the deposition, the resulting sedimentary structures and their vertical and lateral evolution. The comparison between the environmental interpretation derived from bottom cores, well - logs and that derived from the current depositional models, is used to predict the nature and distribution of reservoir and sealing rocks.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper presents the facies and depositional environment of the early Miocene Dam Formation, Eastern Arabian platform, Saudi Arabia. Deposition of Dam Formation (Fm.) was considered as a restricted shallow marine deposition. Few studies suggest the role of sea-level change in its deposition but were without decisive substantiation. Here, we describe the facies and high-resolution model of Dam Fm. under varying depositional conditions. The depositional conditions were subjected to changing relative sea level and tectonics. High-resolution outcrop photographs, sedimentological logs, and thin sections present that the mixed carbonate–siliciclastic sequence was affected by a regional tectonics. The lower part of Dam Fm. presents the development of carbonate ramp conditions that are represented by limestones and marl. The depositional conditions fluctuated with the fall of sea level, and uplift in the region pushed the siliciclastic down-dip and covered the whole platform. The subsequent rise in sea level was not as pronounced and thus allowed the deposition of microbial laminites and stromatolitic facies. The southeast outcrops, down-dip, are more carbonate prone as compared to the northwest outcrop, which allowed the deposition of siliciclastic-prone sedimentation up-dip. All facies, architecture, heterogeneity, and deposition were controlled by tectonic events including uplift, subsidence, tilting, and syn-sedimentary faulting, consequently affecting relative sea level. The resulting conceptual outcrop model would help to improve our understanding of mixed carbonate–siliciclastic systems and serve as an analogue for other stratigraphic units in the Arabian plate and region. Our results show that Dam Fm. can be a good target for exploration in the Northern Arabian Gulf.

Abstract:
Understanding the linkages between grain mineralogy and diagenetic and sedimentary processes enhances the reliability of petrophysical models to predict reservoir deliverability from permeability. Petrographic data within well-defined depositional facies reveal the diagenetic evolution of porosity-permeability relationships. Formation evaluation methods relying solely on petrophysical rock typing are seriously limited when predicting ultimate reservoir performance in complex pore structures. The Almond Formation, Wyoming, is characterized by three depositional facies associations — shoreface, deltaic (bay head and flood tide), and fluvial-coastal plain — which present three distinctive porosity-permeability trends. Textural features resulting from depositional processes, such as grain size and sorting, vary little between facies associations, yet permeability can vary by up to four orders of magnitude for the same porosity value. Differences between petrophysical facies are primarily driven by diagenetic (cementation and grain dissolution) effects on different framework grain compositions (petrographic facies). Therefore, the main difference between the facies associations is diagenetic, due to provenance and transport mechanisms. The characterization of depositional and diagenetic controls on pore geometry allows the narrowing of uncertainty in absolute permeability prediction. We have quantified the relationship between depositional facies, with their specific mineral composition and diagenetic overprint, and the steepness functions in porosity-permeability space. This analysis allowed us to effectively reduce the uncertainty in the prediction of initial gas production from wireline logs.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The Barstow Formation in the Mojave region of California was deposited in an extensional-basin setting of the Basin and Range province and preserves diverse middle Miocene mammalian assemblages. Six facies associations represent the dominant depositional environments in the basin, which changed through time from alluvial-fan and playa-dominated settings to floodplains and spring-fed wetlands. The majority of fossil localities and specimens occur in later-forming facies associations. We analyzed the taphonomic characteristics of fossil assemblages to test whether basin-scale facies associations or locality-scale facies exert more control on the preservational features of mammalian assemblages through the formation. We documented the facies settings of 47 vertebrate localities in the field in order to interpret depositional setting and the mode of accumulation for fossil assemblages. We evaluated skeletal material in museum collections for taphonomic indicators, including weathering stage, original bone-damage patterns, hydraulic equivalence, and skeletal-element composition. We evaluated four alternative modes of accumulation, including attritional accumulation on the land surface, accumulation by fluvial processes, carnivore or scavenger accumulations, and mass-death events. The majority of localities represent attritional accumulations at sites of long-term mortality in channel-margin, abandoned-channel, poorly drained floodplain, and ephemeral-wetland settings. Skeletal-element composition and taphonomic characteristics varied among facies, indicating an important role for depositional setting and landscape position on fossil-assemblage preservation. We find that locality-scale facies have a greater influence on the taphonomic characteristics of fossil assemblages; the taphonomy of each facies association is influenced by the facies that compose it. The facies composition and distribution within facies associations change through the formation, with a greater variety of depositional settings forming later in the history of the basin. Heterogeneous landscapes present more settings for fossil accumulation, contributing to the increase in fossil occurrence through the depositional history of the formation.

Abstract:
A general geologic sedimentation model for reservoir is made by carefully analyzing the inberent essence of depositional environmentand for clastic rocks of lake basin. The basic model in the streaming environment is composed of two basic facies units: one is the waterway facie and the other is non-waterway facie. The principal characteristics of developing geology and sedimentology have been outlined. It can be commonly used in developing under-producted reserves and raising recovery ratio in the highly developed oil fields.

Abstract:
The point bar is one of the most important reservoirs in a meandering depositional system, and accurately building a 3D architecture model for point bars is crucial to predict hydrocarbon distribution within the reservoir. Unfortunately, we can only obtain a qualitative description about the internal architecture of the point bar due to the limited information or the low resolution of available data (such as reflection seismic data). To build a 3D prototype point bar reservoir model, we analyze the architecture of point bars by integrating high-resolution ground penetrating radar (GPR) data and modern deposition. We found that our GPR data have five main reflection patterns (GPR facies), and GPR facies can be used to relate with architectural elements (the depositional facies and geobodies within depositional facies). The concave-down GPR facies is usually related to the abandoned channel. The continuous, subhorizontal, subparallel GPR facies is commonly related with lateral-accretion sand bodies within the point bar. The multiple stacked small-scale, discontinuous reflections GPR facies is interpreted to be shale drapes within the point bar. We further analyzed the geometry parameters of the identified channels. We found that the nonsymmetric [Formula: see text] of abandoned channel near the channel axis is related to the ratio between the curvature of channel radius [Formula: see text] and channel width [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]). Finally, we built two 3D channel reservoir models and our models could provide useful guidance for the architecture analysis of buried meandering fluvial reservoirs.

Abstract:
Markov Chain analysis of turbiditic facies and flow dynamics (Magura Zone, Outer Western Carpathians, NW Slovakia)Methods based on the Markov Chains can be easily applied in the evaluation of order in sedimentary sequences. In this contribution Markov Chain analysis was applied to analysis of turbiditic formation of the Outer Western Carpathians in NW Slovakia, although it also has broader utilization in the interpretation of sedimentary sequences from other depositional environments. Non-random facies transitions were determined in the investigated strata and compared to the standard deep-water facies models to provide statistical evidence for the sedimentological interpretation of depositional processes. As a result, six genetic facies types, interpreted in terms of depositional processes, were identified. They comprise deposits of density flows, turbidity flows, suspension fallout as well as units which resulted from syn- or post-depositional deformation.

Abstract:
Marine deposits of the Qom Formation, which is an important gas reservoir in Central Iran with the age of Early Oligocene to Early Miocene, is studied to determine facies, sedimentary paleoenvironment, and depositional sequences. The primary lithology is limestone, which is accompanied by a conglomerate, sandy marl, marl, and sandy limestone. Based on siliciclastic content, textural analysis, and the biotic constituents, ten facies have been identified. These facies belong to five depositional settings, including delta, a tidal inlet, lagoon, shoal, and open marine. According to the absence of continuous and large barrier reefs, gradual vertical variation in facies from the transitional environment (delta) to shallow open marine, the absence of oncoid, pisoid and aggregate grains that are mostly present in rimmed carbonate shelf environments, the absence of calciturbidites and slump and slide structures, the Qom Formation has been deposited in a homoclinal ramp setting (inner, middle and outer ramp). Field studies and vertical facies variation architecture in the framework of depositional system tracts led to the recognition of two 3rd order depositional sequences in the Early Miocene (Aquitanian) time. Sedimentary facies in the Qom Formation that mainly occurred in the middle ramp setting reveal a mostly aggredational stacking pattern in depositional sequences. The Early Miocene sequences stratigraphic architecture of the Qom Formation based on correlation charts are similar to the regional sequences of the Arabian plate and Zagros basin.

Abstract:
The break-up of Pangaea and the Late Mesozoic global sea-level rise drowned many Tethyan carbonate platforms although the resilient Malta Platform aggraded >4 km of carbonates along the North African passive margin where it was isolated from continental siliciclastics. Carbonate sedimentation was terminated by extensive Late Cretaceous to Early Paleogene depositional hiatuses, but renewed during the Oligocene, when basinward carbonate progradation began to drape over the >350 km long, cusp-shaped escarpment along the eastern margin of the isolated platform. This study sub-divides the Oligocene sediments of Malta into eight facies associations. The facies consist of carbonate grains of coral, coralline red algae and large benthic foraminifera which dominated sediments of the Late Rupelian to early Chattian, mid-Chattian and late Chattian, respectively. These successive carbonate factories produced the photozoan-heterozoan-photozoan triplet of carbonate grain associations which, when dated by benthic foraminiferal biozonation, correlates to the succession of carbonate grain associations in other Mediterranean carbonate platforms. The sedimentary triplet reflects abrupt changes in carbonate ecosystems that coincide with the last three of six surfaces that extend >80 km around Malta. The surfaces show evidence of the influence of meteoric water and pedogenic processes recognised by diagenetic features and isotopic excursions. These sequence boundaries sub-divide the succession into seven depositional sequences that reflect global third-order cyclic sea-level falls produced by glaciations with a periodicity of 1.2 Ma triggered by low-amplitude obliquity variations of the Earth’s axis combined with orbital eccentricity cycles. The periodic growth of the Antarctic ice-sheet during the Oligocene also affected Tethyan climate by shifting low latitude climate belts northwards. It is suggested that increased aridity over North Africa had reduced nutrient flux to the Tethys and favoured photozoan carbonate biota over the Malta Platform and other Tethyan carbonate platforms. The stepwise decrease in oxygen isotope ratio by the mid-Chattian reflects Antarctic deglaciation that increased both precipitation over North Africa and nutrient flux in the Tethys, favouring heterozoan ecosystems. The mid-Chattian transgressive heterozoan carbonates draped over structured bathymetry of an antecedent extensional regime that produced rotated fault-blocks. Highstand shedding of coralline red algae resulted in large clinoforms prograding into partly filled NNE trending half-graben (<10 km-wide) in the Maltese Islands whereas block rotation involving deep, en echelon listric faults formed escarpments along the platform margin. The escarpments were initially onlapped by syntectonic early Palaeogene sediments and later downlapped by prograding complexes. The central platform zone developed as a >50 km-wide basin by lithospheric sagging over a failed Mesozoic rift. The late Chattian climatic optimum was reflected by a further decrease in the oxygen isotope ratio and aridity over North Africa and favoured a return to the photozoan association during the last phase of the Oligocene sedimentary triplet. Lepidocyclinids flourished in inner to mid-platform environments forming banks although the rate of accumulation of these hydrodynamic foraminifera did not keep up with sea-level rise. The shift to increased trophic resources by the end Oligocene terminated shallow marine carbonate sedimentation which resulted in the drowning of the Malta Platform.

Abstract:
Detailed facies mapping and microfacies study were employed to improve upon sedimentological models for the margins of a carbonate platform of late Visean (Asbian - Brigantian) age in north Derbyshire, UK. The early Asbian upper slope was built of automicrite stiffened with early marine cements. The system also included marginal bioclastic sand shoals, situated c.500m from the platform break, which was in slightly deeper water, basinward from the shoals. Despite this bevelled configuration the upper slope received only low volumes of shallow water allochems until late in the early Asbian third order cycle. This early phase was characterised by nearly vertical aggradation of the margin. The later increase in basinward export resulted in a pulse of progradation and more mixed lithologies on the slope. In the late Asbian to Brigantian, the northern margin experienced an episode of local tectonic subsidence, resulting in back-stepping of c. 1km. However, high productivity by the benthic community enabled the margin to recover and build back to the previous platform break within three, fourth order, cycles. During this phase little automicrite was produced, or preserved, on the upper slope, production of automicrite moved to bioherms on the outer platform. Export of coarse bioclastic material to the mid and lower slope resulted in accumulation below a largely by-passed upper slope area. The southern margin also subsided in the Brigantian, but low productivity by a slightly stressed community meant the margin did not recover fully and remained as a low-angle slope, often dominated by the deposition of mud and silt exported from the platform interior. This, and the occurrence of ooids only on the southern margin, suggests the south to be a leeward margin. The facies architecture and the geometry of the margins were controlled by the interaction between eustatic sealevel changes and local tectonics.

The Mississippian-aged St. Louis Limestone of Western Kansas is a carbonate resource play that has been producing oil, gas, and natural gas liquids (NGL) for over 50 years. The Mississippian Limestone is made up of heterogeneous limestones with interbedded layers of porous and non-porous units, abrupt facies changes, and diagenetic alterations. These factors combine to characterize the St. Louis Limestone's internal complexity, which complicates hydrocarbon exploration. This study focuses on improving the understanding of the geometry, distribution, and continuity of depositional facies within Kearny County, Kansas. Petrophysical analysis of a suite of geophysical logs integrated with core provided the basis for establishing facies successions, determining vertical stacking patterns within a sequence stratigraphic framework, and correlating areas of high porosity with a respective facies. The following depositional facies were identified; 1) porous ooid grainstone, 2) highly-cemented ooid grainstone, 3) quartz-carbonate grainstone, 4) peloidal grainstone, 5) micritic mudstone, and the 6) skeletal wackestone/packstone. The porous ooid grainstone is the chief reservoir facies, with log-derived porosity measurements between four and eighteen percent. In areas without available core, depositional facies were predicted and modeled using a neural network analysis tool (Kipling2.xla). Values derived from the evaluated core intervals and their respective geophysical logs served as the framework for the neural network model. This study illustrates the advantages of correlating depositional facies with reservoir quality and correlating those specific facies to geophysical logs, ultimately to create a greater understanding of the reservoir quality and potential within the St. Louis Limestone of western Kansas.

Full text
Abstract:
A model for Wisconsinan glaciation and deglaciation of Hudson Bay is proposed based on depositional facies of the surficial sediments. These facies, defined on the basis of texture, composition, and acoustic character, indicate that sediment distribution is controlled primarily by Late Wisconsin glaciation. Post-glacial sedimentation is restricted to the shallow marine environment (100m deep) and involves reworking of glacially-derived sediments by rivers and/or marine currents. Deposition due to sea-ice rafting is minor. Within the glacigenic sediments, dispersal trends of distinctive lithologies and mineralogies (derived from sources adjacent to and underlying the bay) indicate that (1) western Hudson Bay was glaciated by ice flow eastward from a centre in the District of Keewatin, and (2) the eastern and southern bay was glaciated by ice flow westward from a dispersal centre in Nouveau Quebec. Seafloor geomorphic features and sediment composition suggest that deglaciation was focused at the confluence between these two ice sheets, possibly through ice streaming and calving bay formation. Eastward and southward dispersal of sediment derived from sources within the bay suggest a residual ice mass remained centered over Hudson Bay following glacial maximum. The deglaciation model invokes stabilization of the ice margin in the north, extension of a calving bay in Hudson Strait into west-central Hudson Bay, northward drainage of proglacial lakes along major bathymetric depressions, and, finally, rapid collapse of the ice sheet.

Full text
Abstract:
Analyses of 13 sediment cores and 2800 km of 3.5 kHz seismic profiles reveal that the majority of the sediments on the Labrador continental slope was deposited by hemipelagic settling and ice-rafting (53%), debris flows (7%) and turbidity currents (34%) during the Wisconsinan Glaciation. Only minor amounts (6%) are attributed to contour current activity and related processes. Eight sedimentary facies were differentiated which include (1) hemipelagic (H); (2) hemipelagic (HI) with ice-rafted detritus (IRD); (3) debris-flow deposits (subfacies D1, D2, D3), spill-over turbidite (T), headspill turbidite (TH), turbidite (TI) alternating with IRD; and (4) contourite (C) and nepheloid-flow deposits (N).
Six major glacial advances were identified in Mid- to Late-Wisconsinan (64-10 ka) slope sediments by 6 very dark hemipelagic units containing abundant sinistral-coiling, cold-water foraminifera. The associated ice-retreat phases are characterized by the occurrence of turbidites, debris-flow deposits, nepheloid-flow deposits, and ice-rafted debris (IRD).

Abstract:
Abstract Modelling the most appropriate depositional environment is essential in the reservoir characterisation and 3D modelling of oil bearing sands and the integration of various workflows reduces the uncertainty in deciding the appropriate depositional model which serves as a precursor into petrophysical property distribution during 3D modelling. This paper elaborates a robust study of the integration facies analysis, 2D sequence Stratigraphy and biostratigraphy data in depicting the environment of deposition of the OBOM field. The lithological description of the G8 to the F5 reservoirs ranged from finning upward sequence and blocky shaped sequence as channel sands and coursing upward shoreface deposits. Mineralogical descriptions of the penetrated sands were also carried out, especially on the F5 reservoir in which the presence of radioactive minerals was decisive to constrain the depositional environment to lower shoreface. In the Sequence stratigraphic analysis two 3rd Order depositional cycles was identified from top to bottom in the field. This is substantiated by the facies trend, facies cross plot and cycles indicators like maximum flooding surfaces identified by regional marker shales, biofacies population and biodiversity charts and sequence stratigraphic methods like sequence thickness, bed stacking patterns and facies depositional patterns with regards sea level change. It was noticed that reservoir thickness reduces from the bottom to the top with the proximal channel sands in deep intervals gradually overlain by distal upper shoreface sands and lower shoreface sands at the shallower intervals. The gross depositional environment was a transgressive marine settings ranging from the lower shoreface and channelized upper shoreface deposits. The results from the integration of facies analysis, biofacies, seismic analysis and sequence stratigraphy results reduces uncertainty in depositional environment models.

Abstract:
Multiple oil discoveries reveal the global scale and economic importance of a distinctive reservoir type composed of possible microbial lacustrine carbonates like the Lower Cretaceous pre-salt reservoirs in deepwater offshore Brazil and Angola. Marine microbialite reservoirs are also important in the Neoproterozoic to lowest Cambrian starta of the South Oman Salt Basin as well as large Paleozoic deposits including those in the Caspian Basin of Kazakhstan (e.g., Tengiz field), and the Cedar Creek Anticline fields and Ordovician Red River “B” horizontal play of the Williston Basin in Montana and North Dakota, respectively. Evaluation of the various microbial fabrics and facies, associated petrophysical properties, diagenesis, and bounding surfaces are critical to understanding these reservoirs. Utah contains unique analogs of microbial hydrocarbon reservoirs in the modern Great Salt Lake and the lacustrine Tertiary (Eocene) Green River Formation (cores and outcrop) within the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah. Comparable characteristics of both lake environments include shallowwater ramp margins that are susceptible to rapid widespread shoreline changes, as well as compatible water chemistry and temperature ranges that were ideal for microbial growth and formation/deposition of associated carbonate grains. Thus, microbialites in Great Salt Lake and from the Green River Formation exhibit similarities in terms of the variety of microbial textures and fabrics. In addition, Utah has numerous examples of marine microbial carbonates and associated facies that are present in subsurface analog oil field cores.

Abstract:
Grand Canyon National Park is all about time and timescales. Time is the currency of our daily life, of history, and of biological evolution. Grand Canyon’s beauty has inspired explorers, artists, and poets. Behind it all, Grand Canyon’s geology and sense of timelessness are among its most prominent and important resources. Grand Canyon has an exceptionally complete and well-exposed rock record of Earth’s history. It is an ideal place to gain a sense of geologic (or deep) time. A visit to the South or North rims, a hike into the canyon of any length, or a trip through the 277-mile (446-km) length of Grand Canyon are awe-inspiring experiences for many reasons, and they often motivate us to look deeper to understand how our human timescales of hundreds and thousands of years overlap with Earth’s many timescales reaching back millions and billions of years. This report summarizes how geologists tell time at Grand Canyon, and the resultant “best” numeric ages for the canyon’s strata based on recent scientific research. By best, we mean the most accurate and precise ages available, given the dating techniques used, geologic constraints, the availability of datable material, and the fossil record of Grand Canyon rock units. This paper updates a previously-published compilation of best numeric ages (Mathis and Bowman 2005a; 2005b; 2007) to incorporate recent revisions in the canyon’s stratigraphic nomenclature and additional numeric age determinations published in the scientific literature. From bottom to top, Grand Canyon’s rocks can be ordered into three “sets” (or primary packages), each with an overarching story. The Vishnu Basement Rocks were once tens of miles deep as North America’s crust formed via collisions of volcanic island chains with the pre-existing continent between 1,840 and 1,375 million years ago. The Grand Canyon Supergroup contains evidence for early single-celled life and represents basins that record the assembly and breakup of an early supercontinent between 729 and 1,255 million years ago. The Layered Paleozoic Rocks encode stories, layer by layer, of dramatic geologic changes and the evolution of animal life during the Paleozoic Era (period of ancient life) between 270 and 530 million years ago. In addition to characterizing the ages and geology of the three sets of rocks, we provide numeric ages for all the groups and formations within each set. Nine tables list the best ages along with information on each unit’s tectonic or depositional environment, and specific information explaining why revisions were made to previously published numeric ages. Photographs, line drawings, and diagrams of the different rock formations are included, as well as an extensive glossary of geologic terms to help define important scientific concepts. The three sets of rocks are separated by rock contacts called unconformities formed during long periods of erosion. This report unravels the Great Unconformity, named by John Wesley Powell 150 years ago, and shows that it is made up of several distinct erosion surfaces. The Great Nonconformity is between the Vishnu Basement Rocks and the Grand Canyon Supergroup. The Great Angular Unconformity is between the Grand Canyon Supergroup and the Layered Paleozoic Rocks. Powell’s term, the Great Unconformity, is used for contacts where the Vishnu Basement Rocks are directly overlain by the Layered Paleozoic Rocks. The time missing at these and other unconformities within the sets is also summarized in this paper—a topic that can be as interesting as the time recorded. Our goal is to provide a single up-to-date reference that summarizes the main facets of when the rocks exposed in the canyon’s walls were formed and their geologic history. This authoritative and readable summary of the age of Grand Canyon rocks will hopefully be helpful to National Park Service staff including resource managers and park interpreters at many levels of geologic understandings...
