Abstract:

ABSTRACT Distinguishing trunk channels and delta-plain distributary channels in ancient systems can be difficult due to poor or incomplete data (e.g., limited outcrop or sparse well data). Accurate channel classification is required to reconstruct the plan view of channel networks in a paralic fluvio-deltaic system and to quantify source-to-sink systems. Channel formative mechanisms, such as allogenic versus autogenic and avulsion versus bifurcation, also remain equivocal. In this paper we classify channel types and quantify their discharge and dimensions in an ancient paralic depositional sys

Abstract:

A delta is a type of sedimentary system that is closely related to oil and gas. Shallow-lake delta deposits in the Mesozoic-Cenozoic strata of China are of particular interest. This delta has significant oil and gas reserves that are developed widely. Based on a numerical simulation of the sand body of the shallow-lake delta, this study analyzes the influence of various sediment conditions on the sand-body development. The formation and distribution rules of the sand body are concluded and verified, and the results can effectively guide the exploration and development of oil and gas resources.

Abstract:

Distributary channels in large deltas can form a channel pattern similar to braided fluvial system or anastomosed fluvial system that have multichannel systems. Although both systems are of generally comparable platforms, their geometry, sedimentology, and facies associations may exhibit unique characteristics. Many ancient multichannel systems have been interpreted as braided patterns, but some are certainly anastomosed patterns. A reevaluation of ancient multichannel architectures and sedimentology patterns is needed to improve discrimination of braided and anastomosed patterns of multichann

Subsequently, the Dogger Bank formed an emergent plain during the Holocene with a complex meandering river system, associated tributary or distributary channels and lakes, dominating the region.

While in some cases resilient, deltas are increasingly threatened by natural and anthropogenic forces, such as sea level rise and land use change, which can drastically alter the rates and patterns of sediment transport. Quantifying process patterns can improve our predictive understanding of how different zones within delta systems will respond to future change.

Abstract:

The fluvio-deltaic Moranbah Coal Measures are an extensively mined Late Permian coal-bearing sequence that crops out along the western limb of the Bowen Basin, Queensland. Data from operating coal mines provide high resolution datasets for detailed petroleum reservoir analogue studies. In this study, data from subsurface drilling and high wall exposures were used to produce a three-dimensional sub surface model of coal and sandstone geometry in a 200 m stratigraphic section over an area of 184 km2. Detailed analysis of the interval between the extensive Goonyella Middle seam and the 'P'-Tuff i

Abstract:

Abstract. Bifurcations play a major role in the evolution of landscapes by controlling how fluxes such as water and sediment are partitioned in distributary and multithread channel networks. In this paper, we present the first experimental investigation on the effect of the downstream boundary on bifurcations. Our experiments in a fixed-wall Y-shaped flume consist of three phases: progradation, transitional, and bypass; the first two phases are net depositional, whereas during the third the sediment flux exiting the downstream boundary matches the input on average. We find that deposition qual

Abstract:

AbstractThe Pearl River Mouth Basin is located at the northern continental shelf of the South China Sea. Since the early Miocene, the Paleo-pearl river transported a large amount of sediments to the northwest of the basin and resulted in the formation of a large-scale river-delta depositional system, which has become an important oil and gas reservoir in the study area. In the current paper, we investigate the characteristics and evolution of fluvial-deltaic depositional systems and their controlling factors, including sea level change, tectonic subsidence and sediment supply on the basis of 3

Abstract:

AbstractThe Ba Lai distributary channel of the Mekong River Delta was abandoned and infilled with sediment during the Late Holocene, providing a unique opportunity to investigate the sediment fill, timing and mechanisms of channel abandonment in tide-dominated deltaic systems. Based on analysis and age dating of four sediment cores, we show that the channel was active since 2.6 ka and was abandoned at 0.7 ka as marked by the abrupt disappearance of the sand fraction and increase in organic matter and sediment accumulation rate. We estimate that the channel might have been filled in a time rang
