Abstract:
Research about Oligo-Miocene limestones in Java has always been interesting to study in order to understand the relationship between tectonic-volcanic, sedimentation, and petroleum potential. The Lengkong limestone formation is interesting to study especially its sedimentology aspects. There is no Scientific Publication about the Lengkong Formation which discusses detailed sedimentology aspects. Those aspects are important to modify the geological map, scale of 1: 50000 which was published by the ministry of energy and mineral resources. This research was conducted to determine the sedimentology process and development of a depositional environment of the Lengkong formation in the Cimapag River. The research area is located in Neglasari, Lengkong District, Sukabumi. The method used includes field surveys and laboratory analysis. A field survey embodies sedimentology data collection and rock sampling, which was then made into a detailed stratigraphic column. Rock samples were analyzed petrographically for 12 samples to determine microfacies. The results cover three limestone facies, namely wackestone, wackestone-packstone, and packstone facies. The sedimentation of the Lengkong Formation indicates a sea-level decrease of the Interbuild Basin Floor to Deep Marine Off reef

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:
Progress of 3D seismic technologies has played a vital role in the developments of sedimentology in terms of analytical methodology and concepts. High-density and high-resolution 3D seismic data can be used to reconstruct 3D views of sedimentary paleo-evironment by direct imaging of depositional elements and can also be used to analyze sedimentary paleo-evironment evolution in 3D detail by mapping facies variability at a specific geologic time by slicing though it. And such data connected with well logging data can be used for predictions of rock properties distribution to delineate sedimentologic heterogeneity. High resolution of 3D seismic data mapping can also be used to image the geometry of diagenesis front to a resolution of a few meters over thousands of square kilometers, which is a new approach to the study of diagenesis process in basin scale. The potential for future developments in this field is considerable. Relative methods and examples of such Studies on the aspects mentioned above are presented.

Abstract:
Sedimentary facies plane features of Changling No.1 gas field is analyzed with multiattribute analysis. In Changling area, the signal to noise ratio of the seismic data is low and the sand body distribution in lateral lithologic reservoir changes fast. In this condition, research of seismic sedimentology is launched. Through the seismic stratigraphic classification, the target stratum, Denglouku group is divided into four sand groups. On the basis of the calibration of synthetic seismograms and interpretation of horizon, accurate corresponding relation between the seismic reflection and geological horizon is established. By means of multiple attribute extraction technology, relatively independent attributes related to oil and gas are selected, and afterwards the analysis of the petrophysical characteristics and the optimization of the seismic attribute are achieved. Finally, through the seismic attributes analysis technology and the horizon slice technology, combined with the result of sedimentary facies analysis, the favorable areas of gas accumulation are predicted.

Abstract:
AbstractGlaciogenic sediment up to 70 m thick is exposed in preglacial valley fills in south-central Alberta. The two youngest facies are comprised of glaciolacustrine sediments overlain by a subglacial till. Conformable relationships with the till and topographic relationships support a subglacial origin for the lake sediments. As these facies are restricted to the preglacial valley system, it is suggested that the preglacial valleys of south-central Alberta acted as natural cavities at the base of the Laurentide ice sheet. Sedimentology suggests these filled and drained often.

Abstract:
Canadian river scientists made significant contributions to the early development (1960-80) of fluvial facies models, particularly to those for braided rivers. More recent Canadian studies (1980-92) have centred on understanding the facies sedimentology of anastomosed and wandering gravel-bed rivers. River planform facies models are distinctly limited as indicators of fluvial style because of: (1) spurious environmental correlations; (2) the difficulty of river planform definition; (3) differential preservation potential of facies; (4) inadequate and unsystematic field sampling; (5) flawed statistical testing; and (6) the inappropriate space scale adopted for analysis. The scale problems of facies analysis may be overcome by employing architectural element analysis in conjunction with modem geophysical methods such as shallow reflection seismology and ground-penetrating radar. Future research should focus on devising specific tests of element-scale sedimentological relationships based on the contemporary fluvial enrivonment.

Abstract:
I have developed an alternative narrative of seismic sedimentology from a geologist’s perspective. Seismic sedimentology is a high-resolution supplement for traditional, low-resolution seismic stratigraphy, reflecting the fact that seismic responds to sedimentary bodies differently at low and high resolution. Seismic stratigraphy is a model-driven method that follows the principles of field geology and the well-based study of subsurface sedimentology, and it assumes that seismic reflections can duplicate geologic correlations. Seismic sedimentology is a more data-driven approach based on the understanding of how a seismic signal responds to thin-bedded depositional elements in the context of stratigraphy, which is a function of thickness, lithology-impedance model, wavelet phase, and frequency. Seismic sedimentology is focused on mapping seismic litho-geomorphologic facies, by joint investigation of seismic lithology and seismic geomorphology. In such an investigation, seismic lithology and seismic geomorphology are complementary, making more complete use of seismic information, and they can be more powerful in determining the sedimentary environment and reservoir quality. To reduce the knowledge gap between sedimentary geologists and seismic geophysicists, sedimentologists have to learn and master geophysical principles and techniques. To begin with, a simplified four-step workflow is recommended, which can be summarized as select-adjust-decompose-blend.

Abstract:
The Lower Carboniferous ('mid'-Courceyan to early Chadian) Black Rock Limestone ramp succession of SW Britain, accumulated along the southern margin of the Welsh-Brabant Massif during the early stage of development of the SW European foreland basin. Two depositional cycles are recognized which culminate in the subaerial exposure of those sequences in a more landward setting. The lower depositional cycle includes the Barry Harbour Limestone Formation, which contains a variety of storm-related sedimentary structures including hummocky cross-stratification. This is conformably overlain by the tidally influenced, cross-stratified Brofiscin Oolite Formation which locally displays evidence of subaerial exposure. Seven sedimentary lithofacies are identified in these two formations, which record a distal to proximal, shallowing-upward trend that passes from beneath mean wave-base to above fairweather wave-base. The upper depositional cycle of the Friars Point Limestone Formation includes the volcanics at Middle Hope, the Waulsortian facies at Castlemartin and Cannington Park, and is capped by the (herein named) Portishead Paleosol Beds (near Bristol). Above the basal transgressive sequence, the Friars Point Limestone consists of two distinct offshore ramp facies belts. The more proximal inner ramp facies belt was more strongly influenced by storm-related currents and exhibits tubular tempestites (storm sediment-filled burrows). The finer-grained, outer ramp facies belt is extensively bioturbated and preserves few features indicative of deposition from storm-related currents. The effects and relative timing of differential subsidence was elucidated by using the well documented biostratigraphy to separate the succession into isochronous units. The onset of pronounced differential subsidence was signified by volcanic activity at Middle Hope (Weston-super-Mare). The volcanic tuffs form a coarsening- and shallowing-upward sequence which records the development of a localised, probably non-emergent, offshore-volcanic high. Recognition of a major eustatic sea level fall at the end of the Courceyan and during the early part of the Chadian, is revealed by studying the decline of the Waulsortian reefs in an offshore ramp setting and evaluating the regional significance of the Portishead Paleosol Beds. Overall, the development of the Black Rock Limestone ramp was the result of the interplay between eustacy and tectonism. A full petrographic and geochemical analysis of the Waulsortian dolomites at Castlemartin, including the use of stable isotopes revealed that dolomitization occurred during burial, most probably as a result of basin dewatering.

Resumo: Esta dissertação consiste no estudo sedimentológico e paleodeposicional de quatro unidades litoestratigráficas da Pré-Cordilheira Argentina, depositadas durante o Ordoviciano: Formação Portezuelo del Tontal (FPT), Formação Sierra de La Invernada (FSI), Formação Gualcamayo (FG) e Formação Los Azules (FLA). A FG e a FLA são caracterizadas por lamitos e margas depositados por decantação. A FPT é constituída por uma alternância entre arenitos finos a muito finos e lamitos. Os arenitos são frequentemente bipartidos: a porção basal, de granulometria areia média a fina, é espessa e maciça, apresentando intraclastos lamosos, tapetes de tração. A porção superior possui granulometria mais fina e é menos espessa, com laminação cruzada truncante anisotrópica (anysotropic hummocky cross stratification). Os arenitos são interpretados como gerados por fluxos gravitacionais influenciados por tempestades. A presença de laminação cruzada truncante na parte superior das camadas demonstram que a sedimentação ocorreu acima do nível de ondas de tempestades e que um fluxo gravitacional se desenvolveu concomitantemente às tempestades. A FSI é caracterizada por arenitos muito finos com laminação truncante anisotrópica intercalada com lamitos arenosos produzidos por correntes de turbidez muito diluídas e por decantação. A FSI apresenta abundantes icnofósseis, o que indica uma atividade biológica bentônica ativa. O sistema deposicional da FPT e da FSI é uma plataforma dominada por atividade de tempestades. A parte superior da FSI e a FPT são litologicamente semelhantes e ambas apresentam direções de paleocorrentes de norte para sul, o que evidencia que eram parte de uma mesma bacia. Os arenitos mais grossos e espessos, representados pelos depósitos da FPT, teriam passado por ambientes mais rasos (FSI) e se depositado em áreas mais profundas (FPT). Os depósitos arenosos muito finos gerados por tempestades são característicos de áreas mais rasas e proximais (FSI). A margem ocidental do Gondwana, durante o Meso e Neo-Ordoviciano, foi uma plataforma siliciclástica dominada por tempestades, com aprofundamento para sul localizada em uma bacia do tipo antepaís.
Abstract: This work consists in the study of sedimentological and paleodepositional features of four Ordovician lithostratigraphic units of the Precordillera Argentina: Portezuelo del Tontal Formation (PTF), Sierra de La Invernada Formation (SIF), Gualcamayo Formation (GF) and Los Azules Formation (LAF). The PTF is represented by alternating fine- to very fine grained sandstone and shale. Most sandstone strata are bipartite: a thicker lower part, medium to mediumfine grained size, massive, showing buoyant muddy clasts or traction carpet, and a thinner upper part, very fine in grain size, with anisotropic hummocky cross-stratifications. The sandstone is interpreted as gravitational flow generated by and combined with storms. The presence of anisotropic hummocky cross-stratification in the upper part of the strata testifies that the sedimentation occurred above the storm wave base and that the gravitational flow developed contemporaneously to the storm activity. The SIF is characterized by very fine-grained sandstone showing anisotropic hummocky cross stratifications, alternated with sandy pelite showing thin sandstone beds produced by low-density turbidity currents. The SIF is rich in ichnofossils, testifying a high biological benthic activity. The LAF and GF are characterized by shale and marl facies deposited mainly by settling. The depositional system of the PTF and SIF is dominated by storm activity. The transition of the upper part of the SIF to lithologies similar to PTF and analogous paleocurrent directions, from north to south, suggests that both formations take part of the same depositional basin. The thicker and coarser sandstones, represented by the PTF deposits, bypassed shallower areas (SIF) and deposited in deeper areas (FPT). Very fine storm generated sandy deposits in SIF were characterized by shallower and proximal areas. The western margin of the Gondwana in the middle-late Ordovician was characterized by storm-dominated siliciclastic shelf deposits in a foreland basin. The margin showed a progressive deepening toward south.

Resumo: A Formação Punta Negra (Meso- Neodevoniano da Pré-Cordilheira Argentina) consiste em uma espessa sucessão de depósitos siliciclásticos de água profunda. Esta unidade aflora por cerca de 300 km em direção N-S nas províncias de San Juan, Mendoza e La Rioja. Uma detalhada análise sedimentológica permitiu identificar seis litofácies depositadas pela ação de fluxos de densidade concentrados e correntes de turbidez. Três associações de fácies foram descritas e interpretadas: i) preenchimento de canais: camadas de arenito fino, com escassas estruturas e preenchendo feições erosivas, correspondentes a canais pouco espessos como sistema de aporte em uma rampa proximal; ii) lobos proximais: sucessões estrato-crescentes de camadas arenosas maciças na base e com estruturas de tração no topo, amalgamadas ou interacamadadas com níveis de lamito laminado, correspondendo a deposição de lobos num contexto de rampa proximal; iii) lobos distais/franjas: sucessões de lamito e camadas descontinuas de arenito muito fino que constituem os depósitos mais finos de todo o intervalo estudado, associados ao contexto de rampa distal. Os corpos sedimentares pertencentes às associações de fácies constituem elementos com características geométricas próprias. Os canais são do tipo deposicionais e pouco erosivos, os lobos deposicionais caracterizam corpos de geometria lobada/linguoide apresentando ciclos de compensação de espessuras. Por fim, os depósitos de franjas possuem grande extensão areal e com heterogeneidade acentuada pelo interacamadamento lamito/arenito. Com base na análise de fácies e associação de fácies e em informações levantadas por estudos anteriores, propõe-se um modelo de sistema deposicional turbidítico de rampa submarina rico em areia, caracterizado por um sistema de canais pouco espessos que atuam na forma de múltiplos pontos de aporte. A característica textural imatura dos sedimentos, a abundância de fragmentos vegetais e a deposição de estruturas típicas de fluxos de mais longa duração, são argumentos para propor um sistema de alimentação por meio de fluxos hiperpicnais provenientes diretamente do continente
Abstract: The Punta Negra Formation (Middle to Late Devonian of Argentine Precordillera) is a thick succession of siliciclatic deep-water deposits. This unit outcrops for c. 300 km along north-south direction in the provinces of San Juan, Mendoza and La Rioja. Detailed sedimentological permitted to identify six lithofacies deposited by concentrated density flows and turbidity currents. Three facies associations were described and interpreted: i) channel-filling deposits: massive fine grained sandstone erosive depressions that represent multiple shallow channels in a ramp system; ii) proximal lobes: thickening-upward successions of fine grained massive sandstone beds with a upper portion of very fine laminated sandstone; these beds are amalgamated or interbedded with laminated mudstone and represent depositional lobes in a proximal ramp context; iii) distal lobes/fringe: interstratifications of mudstone and very fine sandstone that are associated to a distal ramp. The channels are constituted of multiple depositional and minor erosional events. The depositional lobes include linguoid bodies with compensation cycles. The fringes have large extension and are characterized by thin interbedding of mudstone/discontinuous very fine sandstone. It was proposed a sand-rich deep-water ramp depositional model, which is characterized by a system of multiple minor erosive channels (multiple source). The immature sediments, the abundance of vegetal fragments and the typical structures of relative long-lived flows evidence a depositional system fed by hyperpicnal flows probably originated of major fluvial floods

Abstract:
The Late Mesozoic Bisbee basin of southeastern Arizona was an intracratonic back-arc rift basin. Extension was coupled with seafloor spreading in the Gulf of Mexico and back-arc extension behind a magmatic arc along the convergent Pacific continental margin. Tectonostratigraphic evolution of the basin occurred in three phases. Initial mid-Jurassic rifting of the basin, marked by eruption of the Canelo Hills Volcanics, may have been complicated by sinistral strike-slip motion along the Mojave-Sonora megashear. During continued rifting, from latest Jurassic to Early Cretaceous time, the Glance Conglomerate was deposited by alluvial fans and braided streams in grabens, half-grabens, and caldera-related depressions; locally interbedded volcanic rocks represent waning rift-related back-arc magmatism. The upper Bisbee Group was deposited during Early to earliest Late Cretaceous passive thermotectonic subsidence. The Bisbee Group and correlative strata occur in most mountain ranges in southeastern Arizona, and are subdivided into southeastern, northwestern, northern, and western facies. Southeastern facies were deposited in alluvial fan, meandering fluvial, estuarine, marginal marine and subtidal shelf environments as a transgressive-regressive sequence including a marine interval that was continuous with Gulf Coast assemblages during Aptian-Albian marine transgression. Northern facies were deposited in alluvial fan and braided stream environments along the northern rift shoulder of the basin. Southeastern and northern facies sandstones are dominantly quartzose, and were derived mainly from cratonic sources to the north. Subordinate volcaniclastic sandstones in the southeastern facies become more abundant to the west, proximal to eroding Jurassic and Cretaceous volcanic arcs. Basal northwestern facies arkosic strata deposited in alluvial fan, braided stream and lacustrine environments were derived from local basement uplifts, and were ponded in a northwestern depocenter by rift-related topography. A thin estuarine interval within overlying dominantly fluvial facies indicates integration of regional drainage networks by the time of maximum transgression. Transition upward to quartzose sandstone compositions reflects wearing down of local basement uplifts and increasing abundance of craton-derived sediment in the northwestern part of the basin. Western facies alluvial fan, braided stream and lacustrine intramontane deposits are composed of locally-derived arkose and lithic arkose.

Abstract:
Abstract Characterizing carbonate reservoirs is challenging due to their inherent complex nature, while diagenetic overprint causes an added layer of complexity. Diagenesis may enhance or deteriorate reservoir properties resulting in a wide range of pertinent rock types. The studied reservoirs consist of several shallowing upward cycles, which are capped by tidal flats lithofacies and evaporites, governing the spatial and temporal distribution of the reservoir units. In this work, we have used existing data to link sedimentology, stratigraphy, diagenesis, and wireline logs to build a full-field characterization model for improved well performance and prediction. The state-of-the-art characterization workflow includes data from sedimentologic core characterization, petrographic and diagenetic analyses, routine core analysis (RCA) at multiple overburdens, mercury injection capillary pressure (MICP) measurements, and well wireline logs. The process starts with basic facies description for all cored wells, establishing the stratigraphic framework, and then characterizing the impact of the diagenetic overprint on depositional lithofacies. Using wireline logs, the altered depositional lithofacies by diagenesis are distributed within each mapped cycle of the established stratigraphic framework and then are used to generate/predict petrophysical rock types. The final detailed and obtained reservoir property information for all the facies is used in the 3D reservoir model. This work shows and explains how facies and diagenesis led to the development of low resistivity pay positively affecting a specific reservoir. This low resistivity interval, which is not common in carbonate, is related to the presence of abundant paramagnetic minerals in the reservoir. The dispersed conductive minerals have more effect on resistivity behavior as they will induce conductivity due to their distribution and mixing with irreducible water. Variation of depositional facies has a major influence on the flow geometry. We considered these variations while generating permeability modeling as well as averaging methods, which had been used later in both static and dynamic modeling. Therefore, our petrophysical rock typing and permeability and saturation height modeling were linked to both depositional and diagenetic processes. Establishing the lithofacies relationship to flow geometry will improve the static to dynamic match, in-fill drilling plan, as well as the well design (vertical/slanted/horizontal) for both producers and injectors.

Abstract:
Abstract Siliciclastic sediments represent important lithological unit of the Red Sea coastal plain. Their subsurface equivalents are important targets of groundwater aquifer and hydrocarbon reservoirs in the region. The lithofacies of the modern fluvial deltaic system has several distinct geomorphic units and sub-environments such as alluvial, fluvial, delta plain, aeolian, intertidal, coastal sabkha and eustuarine sediments. This study intends to characterize the lithofacies and the depositional environments and to produce an integrated facies model for this modern fluvial-deltaic system. The study might provide a valuable modern analog to several important subsurface Neogene formations that act as important hydrocarbon reservoirs and groundwater aquifers. The study integrates information and data obtained from landsats, maps and detailed field observation and measurements of facies analysis of the fluvial and deltaic along traveses from the Arabian Shield to the Red Sea coast. The lithofacies sediment analysis revealed four main lithofacies associations namely lithofacies A,B,C ad D. Lithoacies Associations A, which represents the oldest unit is dominated by coarse gravel with minor sands facies. While the lithofacies B is dominated byfine gravel and sand lithofacies, occasionally pebbly, vary from horizontal, planar to massive sands with minor laminated to massive silts and mud facies. The lithofacies in A and B show lateral proximal to distal variation as well as characteristic vertical stacking patterns. The Facies Association A and B indicates a change in fluvial depositional styles from gravelly alluvial fans to gravelly sandy fluvial systems. The lithofacies association C represents the recent fluvial system which consists of minor gravel lag deposits associated maily with various sand lithofacies of planner, horizontal and massive sand associated with massive and limainted sand and mud lithofacies. The lithofacies Association D is dominated with Barchan sand dunes local interfigger with muddy iinterdunes and sand sheets. Lithofacies D occupies rather more distal geomporphic position of the fluvial deltaic system that is adjace to coastal sabkha. The lithofacies associations described here document the evolution and development of the coastal plain sediments through space and time under various autocyclic and allocyclic controls. This included the tectonics and structural development associated with the Red Sea rifting and opening since the Oligocene – Miocene time. Others controls include the evolution of the Arabian shield (provenance) and the coastal plain through space and time as controlled by tectonics, sediment supply, climate and locally by autocyclic environmental This study might be beneficial for understanding the controls and stratigraphic evolution of the Red Sea region and will be of great value for reservoir and aquifer characterization, development and management. This modern analog model can also help in providing geological baseline information that would be beneficial for understanding similar ancient fluvial deltaic sediments. The study might provide guides and leads to understand the subsurface facies, stratigraphic architecture and heterogeneity of any potential groundwater aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Abstract:
The Talang Akar Formation is one of the hydrocarbon-producing reservoirs of the South Sumatra Basin. This basin is filled from two different sources in the Eastern part and Western part paleo-high. The bottom Talang Akar consists of coarse-grained sandstone, and the upper part constrains intercalation of sandstone and shale, known as low resistivity low contrast zone (LRLC). The Talang Akar Formation from Air Batu and Sukomoro confers an excellent probability to observe and define LRLC zones over systematic approaches. This paper will provide an analogue of the LRLC reservoir zone by analyzing the relation between facies distribution and reservoir properties, including detailed shale structure. Facies distribution was obtained from the outcrop stratigraphic profile. The reservoir properties are identified by the Thomas Stieber plot and the petrographic section. Seven facies of Talang Akar Formation had been identified, which are: 1) planar cross-bedded sandstone (PCBS), 2) trough cross-bedded sandstone (TCBSS), 3) laminated sandstone (LSS), 4) heterolytic sandstone (HSS), 5) clay-rich sandstone (CSS), 6) mudstone (MS), 7) scour conglomeratic sandstone (SCSS). There are several types of shale distribution: structural shale, dispersed shale, and laminar shale. The laminar and dispersed shale consists of most of the reservoir and fills the pore. The clay structure deduces the disparity in the facies-porosity correlation. The finding of this study revealed that the LRLC zones are caused by lamination structures, thin intercalation layers, heterolytic and clay minerals.

Abstract:
The Upper Cibulakan Formation is one of the main reservoirs in the Offshore North West Java Basin. It was deposited in a shallow marine environment with Tidal Shelf Ridge morphology. Sedimentology and seismic approaches are integrated in this study to understand lithofacies, depositional stages and morphological patterns of Tidal Shelf Ridge. The study is restricted to Zone 29, P-Field with available data being 5 wells data that have cores, 64 well data, and 3D seismic data. The lithofacies data of these wells is integrated with log data using a Multi Resolution Graph-based Clustering (MRGC) method to predict the lithofacies and depositional stage of other wells without core. There are 10 different lithofacies and 4 facies association identified from these well cores. Facies associations that were found refer to nomenclature of depositional stage of Tidal Shelf Ridge. The embryonic stage consists of claystone-siltstone or calcareous highly-cemented sandstone (with erosional contact), which is the stage of beginning of deposition of the shelf ridge. The immature accretion stage consists of siltstone and sandstone with an intense heterolithic structure. The mature accretion stage consists of sandstone with little or no appearance of heterollitic structure. The abandonment stage is the final stage of shelf ridge that consist of calcareous highly-cemented sandstone without erosional contact. Stratigraphic pattern based on vertical order of facies association is showing 5 transgressive parasequence tracts bounded by 6 flooding surface markers. Based on seismic attributes, which is an average of amplitude x thickness in parasequence, the pattern and morphology of tidal shelf ridge body is relatively northeast – southwest direction. The results of this study are expected to be a reference in developing more advanced hydrocarbon production by understanding of the morphology of reservoir body.
