Download or read book Integrated Core Well Log and Seismic Stratigraphy of the Olmos Formation Lasalle and McMullen County Texas written by Joseph V. McGovern and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Olmos Formation (Fm) corresponds to a terrigenous clastic unit made up of shelf, shoreface, and delta-system sandstones and associated mudstones deposited in South Texas during Maastrichtian (latest Cretaceous) time. Previous studies have documented depositional patterns and stratigraphic characteristics of the Olmos Fm across the lower Cretaceous shelf on the basis of shallow borehole spontaneous potential and resistivity logging techniques. With only sparse deep Olmos test wells beyond the Albian Stuart City Reef margin, it is necessary to complement this limited well log data with subsurface techniques having greater exploration depth. This study aims to define the relation between the framework of proximal and distal stratigraphic sequences of sandstones of the Olmos. A second goal is to delineate how the basinward distribution of sandstone bodies is influenced by local subsidence related to deeper structural features. The study uses log and core data as well as 3D seismic data. Ten samples were analyzed from a 122 feet whole core section. Mineralogical compositions were described using XRD, SEM and thin-section petrography. Key sequence stratigraphic surfaces were correlated between 161 well logs to generate a sequence stratigraphic framework. Thirty-three square miles of 3D seismic data within the study area reveals a major axis of deposition of Olmos sands in areas of fault related subsidence induced by the movement of Jurassic salt.
Download or read book Wolfcampian Shelf to basin Stratigraphic Framework of the Central Basin Platform and Midland Basin Andrews County Texas written by Cody Hale Draper and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite collection of extensive subsurface data, the icehouse climatic forcing and tectonic modification of the Wolfcampian Hueco carbonates have frustrated attempts to adequately link shelfal and time-equivalent basinal depositional patterns. This study attempts to create a stratigraphic framework for correlating eastern Central Basin Platform Hueco shelfal carbonates and Wolfcamp Shale basinal stratigraphy by generating core-based vertical facies successions, wireline log and seismic-derived stratal architecture and sedimentation patterns, and isopachs along a contemporaneous shelf-to-basin depositional profile. Where available, fusulinid biostratigraphic control from the Midland Farms field area, provided by Dr. Greg Wahlman, constrained correlations, as did basinal palynologic data collected by Fasken Oil and Ranch. A total of 1,569 ft of core was described from the Midland Farms Deep Unit132, 101, 135, and 74 wells, the Midland Farms Unit 37 and AX-5, the Midland Farms Operating 3, and the Fasken Fee AL-910 and BI-307 wells. Thirteen depositional facies are recognized, which are grouped into seven facies tracts. Two depositional sequences were interpreted on the basis of 1D core lithofacies stacking patterns and were linked to selected shelf-to-basin log sections and seismic stratigraphic relationships. Shelf-to-basin correlations were made using a volume of nearly 2000 well-logs and 500 sq mi of 3D seismic data. The two major composite sequences recognized are termed the Lower Hueco and the Upper Hueco. The transgressive systems tract (TST) of the Lower Hueco Sequence LW-1 is characterized by phylloid algal patch reefs and associated bioclastic-oolitic grainstones that transition around the maximum flooding surface to skeletal packstones. The highstand systems tract of LW-1 records a shallowing-upward succession of slope, outer platform, and shelf crest facies. The LW-1 tract is capped by paleosols overlying shelf crest facies. The shelfal LW-1 is correlative to interbedded sediment-gravity flows and organic-rich siliciclastic mudstones in the Midland Basin, which represent platform shedding in conjunction with hemipelagic sedimentation. Despite the significant exposure recorded at the top LW-1, the mid-Wolfcamp unconformity is not identified as a significant erosive surface in this study, as suggested in other studies. The correlative mid-Wolfcampian interval in the adjacent basin is a stacked gravity flow complex that might represent a period of shelfal erosion related to exposure and/or tectonism. The transgressive systems tract of the Upper Hueco sequence UW-1 shows aggradation over the upper LW-1. The transgressive facies tract deepens to skeletal wackestone and is overlain by a thicker shallowing upward highstand systems tract that culminates in a large accumulation of grain-dominated packstone to grainstone facies which show evidence of subaerial exposure at the top Wolfcamp sequence boundary. This Wolfcampian-Leonardian unconformity is expressed by uppermost Hueco grainstones overlain by Leonardian deepwater basinal mudstones and gravity flows. Contemporaneous basinal sedimentation is mostly organic-rich siliciclastic mudstone with scarce sediment-gravity flow deposits. This study contributes an integrated model for the shelf-to-basin stratigraphic architecture of the Wolfcampian Hueco Group on the Central Basin Platform and the equivalent Wolfcamp Shale of the adjacent Midland Basin. Identifying controls on basinal sedimentation is important because allochthonous carbonate debris flows in the western Midland Basin can act both as drilling hazards and as reservoirs. Understanding the connections between the Hueco Group shelfal carbonate facies and sequences to the adjacent basinal stratigraphy could greatly improve reservoir prediction and development in the adjacent Wolfcamp Shale play.
Download or read book Fluvial Depositional Systems written by Andrew Miall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-23 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to complement the author's 1996 book "The geology of fluvial deposits", not to replace it. The book summarizes methods of mapping and interpretation of fluvial depositional systems, with a detailed treatment of the tectonic, climatic and eustatic controls on fluvial depositional processes. It focuses on the preserved, ancient depositional record and emphasizes large-scale (basin-scale) depositional processes. Tectonic and climatic controls of fluvial sedimentation and the effects of base-level change on sequence architecture are discussed. Profusely illustrated and with an extensive reference to the recent literature, this book will be welcomed by the student and professional geologist alike.

Download or read book Regional Stratigraphy of North America written by W.J. Frazier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An early reviewer of this book stated that he had difficulty assessing its marketability because it "falls between the cracks" of geological literature. We have designed this book to meet a need of modem geology: namely, a single source providing both detailed and synoptic stratigraphy of the various regions of North America, through geological time. Shortly after beginning work on such a book, we realized why it had not yet been written: it required six years of effort, assimilation of an incredible amount of information, and two years' additional work to cut the volume down to publishable size. Further, by the time the final chapter was written, the fIrst few were already out of date. Nevertheless, the book lies in front of you. It is intended to serve several purposes. As a textbook, it will serve the following courses: • Regional stratigraphy • Sedimentary tectonics • Regional tectonics • Advanced historical geology • Survey-level paleontology Obviously, not all portions of the book are relevant to all of the above courses. We assume the reader will retain this book after the particular course is done, and will use it as a reference book. Hopefully, others will obtain the book solely for reference purposes. We believe it will be especially useful for the working geologist or academic geologist seeking generalized and some moderately detailed information about a region or geological time interval which is unfamiliar.

Download or read book Recent Advances in Models of Siliciclastic Shallow marine Stratigraphy written by Gary J. Hampson and published by SEPM Soc for Sed Geology. This book was released on 2008 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Siliciclastic shallow-marine deposits record the interface between land and sea, and its response to a variety of forcing mechanisms: physical process regime, the internal dynamics of coastal and shelfal depositional systems, relative sea level, sediment flux, tectonic setting, and climate. These deposits have long been the subject of conceptual stratigraphic models that seek to explain the interplay between these various forcing mechanisms, and their preservation in the stratigraphic record. This volume arose from an SEPM research conference on shoreline-shelf stratigraphy that was held in Grand Junction, Colorado, on August 24-28, 2004. The aim of the resulting volume is to highlight the development over the last 15 years of the stratigraphic concepts and models that are used to interpret siliciclastic marginal-marine, shallow-marine, and shelf deposits.
