Sand distribution along shelf-edge deltaic systems : a case study from eastern offshore Trinidad
(2010-12)
The study area is situated along the obliquely converging boundary of the Caribbean and South American plates offshore eastern offshore Trinidad. Major structural elements in the shelf break and deep-water slope regions ...
Core-seismic correlation and sequence stratigraphy at IODP Expedition 317 drillsites, Canterbury Basin, New Zealand
(2012-12)
High rates of Neogene sediment influx to the offshore Canterbury Basin resulted in preservation of a high-resolution record of seismically resolvable sequences (~0.1-0.54 my periods). Subsequent sequence development was ...
High-resolution correlation framework of the Grayburg Formation-Shattuck Escarpment and Plowman Ridge : testing models of shelf-to-basin frameworks
(2013-08)
The San Andres and Grayburg Formations are important stratigraphic units for constructing correlation frameworks of the Guadalupe Mountains because these strata record the transition between the ramp profiles of the San ...
Stratigraphic framework and incised-valley systems (lower Hope sandstone) of the Upper Pennsylvanian lower Cisco Group, southern Eastern Shelf of the Permian Basin, West Texas
(2018-08-17)
The lower Cisco Group records the latest Pennsylvanian episode of progradational siliciclastic and aggradational carbonate deposition on the Eastern Shelf of the Permian Basin. This detailed study documents the spatial ...
Lithofacies, depositional environments, and sequence stratigraphy of the Pennsylvanian (Morrowan-Atokan) Marble Falls Formation, Central Texas
(2013-08)
The Pennsylvanian Marble Falls Formation in the Llano Uplift region of the southern Fort Worth Basin (Central Texas) is a Morrowan-Atokan mixed carbonate-siliciclastic unit whose deposition was influenced by icehouse ...
Geochemistry and high-resolution chemostratigraphy of the Haynesville Formation, East Texas
(2015-05)
The Upper Jurassic Haynesville Formation of East Texas and Louisiana is an organic-rich calcareous mudrock that is Kimmeridgian in age. It underlies the less calcareous Bossier Shale, and it overlies the Smackover Formation ...
New evidence of regressing and transgressing Jurassic siliciclastic coastlines : Dhruma Formation, northern central Arabia
(2018-06-26)
The Middle Jurassic Dhruma carbonates are long known as a major hydrocarbon reservoir with massive proven reserves in Saudi Arabia and other Arabian-Gulf countries. Regional studies indicate that these hydrocarbon-rich ...
Quantified facies distribution and sequence geometry of the Yates Formation, Slaughter Canyon, New Mexico
(2011-08)
This study uses a new integrated outcrop data and airborne lidar from Slaughter Canyon, New Mexico, to quantitatively characterize the cycle-scale facies architecture within the G23-G26 high frequency sequences of the Yates ...
Reservoir characterization and sequence stratigraphy of Permian San Andres platform carbonates, Fullerton Field, Permian Basin, West Texas
(2010-05)
The San Andres Formation (Permian, Guadalupian) is the most prolific oil reservoir in the Permian basin. However, despite more than 60 years of production, an estimated 70% of the original oil in place remains. Recovery ...
Depositional systems and sequence stratigraphy of the M1 sandstone in Tarapoa, Ecuador
(2014-12)
Campanian M1 Sandstone is one of the major prospective sandstone units in the Tarapoa field in Oriente Basin, Ecuador. The M1 Sandstone is always markedly sharp based, averages 25 m in thickness, shows upward increasing ...
