The overall characteristics of a rock unit that reflect its origin and differentiate the unit from others around it. Mineralogy and sedimentary source, fossil content,
Sequence stratigraphy is a method developed by stratigraphers in the mid 1970s for identifying reservoir, source and seal lithologies in the subsurface. Originally, sequence stratigraphy
As discussed in Seminar 2, the Brushy Canyon Formation of West Texas and New Mexico is one of the world’s premier outcrops for deep-water systems
The Permian (Guadalupian) Brushy Canyon Formation consists of 460m of deep-water sandstones and siltstones that onlap older carbonate basin margin deposits at the NW margin
The Cerro Toro Formation within southern Chile contains a series of deep-water channel complexes deposited within an elongate Andean foreland basin during the Late Cretaceous
Mass Transport Complexes (MTCs) are significant constituents of the fill of the basins of the Brazos-Trinity Slope System. These MTCs are composite stratigraphic bodies consisting
Understanding of deep-water reservoirs within the petroleum industry have primarily relied on interpretation of subsurface systems with conventional exploration data (deep seismic, well logs, cores)
High resolution 2D seismic, sidescan sonar images, and shallow penetration cores were used to study a portion of the upper to middle Texas continental slope.
The study are is an oil field in Green Canyon, Guilt of Mexico at approximately 3400 ft water depth. It was discovered in 2005 and
The Eocene-Oligocene Cape Freels Fan (CFF), Offshore Newfoundland, is a large submarine fan deposited at the toe-of-slope in the West Orphan Basin. The proximal portion
This study compares sand-rich, canyon-fed submarine fan complexes, from the Permian Brushy Canyon Formation of the Guadalupe and Delaware Mts., West Texas and Miocene of
Seismic stratigraphy is a method developed in the 1970s for identifying reservoir, source and seal lithologies in the subsurface. Based on reflection characteristics, this methodology
Recent production performance information from the study area in offshore Equatorial Guinea, indicates the presence of sub-seismic reservoir baffles and barriers. To address the issue
Reservoirs in the study area of offshore Equatorial Guinea, are comprised of high-quality, Cretaceous sands deposited in a submarine canyon setting. This canyon contains a
