Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Detailed sedimentological analysis of core from 40 wells on the northwestern Lennard Shelf, northern Canning Basin, was undertaken to interpret the depositional history of the latest Devonian Early Carboniferous carbonate-siliciclastic Fairfi eld Group within a sequence stratigraphic framework. Integration of sedimentological and petrophysical interpretations with existing biostratigraphic data and new seismic interpretation was used to establish a geological model in which to examine the roles of depositional facies and diagenetic modifi cation on reservoir quality. The Fairfi eld Group is composed of fourteen facies associations (FA1- FA14) identifi ed from detailed sedimentological study of core. The majority of associations (FA1-FA9) were deposited on a broad inner ramp with open marine to restricted shallow subtidal intertidal supratidal conditions. FA1 represents a restricted supratidal area. Shallow subtidal intertidal fenestral microbial mats and bioclastic facies (FA2) were widely developed on the platform and are typically dolomitised. Sandstones and siltstones represent deposition on tidal fl ats and in open marine areas (FA3 and FA4). Protected and restricted shallow subtidal areas on the platform are typically fi ne carbonate facies (FA5 and FA6). Bioclastic sediments were deposited in high energy zones as shoals (FA8 and FA9) and FA7 represents deposition intermediate to shoals and the protected lagoon. Two facies associations represent the middle to outer ramp. They are characterized by carbonate mudstone deposited on the distal mid ramp (FA10) and bioclastic sandstones on the proximal mid ramp (FA11). Three outer ramp to slope facies associations (FA12-FA14) are composed of turbiditic sandstones and limestones. A distally steepened ramp morphology for the Fairfi eld Group, identifi ed from seismic data, is supported by a broad peritidal platform facies and turbiditic facies of the outer ramp. The Fairfi eld Group ramp evolved from the underlying Famennian platforms as a result of the global loss of reef-builders during extinction events in the Late Devonian, ongoing tectonic activity associated with the Fitzroy Trough, relative sea-level changes and antecedent topography. The base of the Fairfi eld Group is represented by a fl ooding surface in the majority of studied wells, and the upper contact is conformable in the northwestern part of the study area where it is overlain by the Early Carboniferous Anderson Formation. The Fairfi eld Group is subdivided into fi ve regional stratal packages (P1-P5) and two local packages (L1 and L2) that represent four third-order sequences (S1-S4). The sequences are bounded by fl ooding surfaces (FS) and include transgressive system tracts (TST) composed of mid to outer ramp facies associations and capping highstand system tracts (HST) composed of inner ramp facies associations. Lowstand system tracts (LST), identifi ed in S2 and S3, and are characterised by siliciclastic wedges deposited on the outer ramp. Overall, the Fairfi eld Group was largely deposited during sea-level highstands (HST) characterized by progradational trends and dominant shallow subtidal inner ramp facies associations...

This book was released on 1991 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study is to approach the problem of the timing of mineralization in MVT deposits in the context of the diagenetic evolution of the Devonian reef complexes of the Lennard Shelf. These carbonates were subject to two important burial diagenetic events, Late Devonian-Early Carboniferous and Permian-Cenozoic. The region of main interest in this thesis is Billiton's Fossil Downs exploration licence in the Fossil Downs and Brooking Springs Station areas.

Book excerpt: Reservoir Characterization is a collection of papers presented at the Reservoir Characterization Technical Conference, held at the Westin Hotel-Galleria in Dallas on April 29-May 1, 1985. Conference held April 29-May 1, 1985, at the Westin Hotel—Galleria in Dallas. The conference was sponsored by the National Institute for Petroleum and Energy Research, Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Reservoir characterization is a process for quantitatively assigning reservoir properties, recognizing geologic information and uncertainties in spatial variability. This book contains 19 chapters, and begins with the geological characterization of sandstone reservoir, followed by the geological prediction of shale distribution within the Prudhoe Bay field. The subsequent chapters are devoted to determination of reservoir properties, such as porosity, mineral occurrence, and permeability variation estimation. The discussion then shifts to the utility of a Bayesian-type formalism to delineate qualitative ""soft"" information and expert interpretation of reservoir description data. This topic is followed by papers concerning reservoir simulation, parameter assignment, and method of calculation of wetting phase relative permeability. This text also deals with the role of discontinuous vertical flow barriers in reservoir engineering. The last chapters focus on the effect of reservoir heterogeneity on oil reservoir. Petroleum engineers, scientists, and researchers will find this book of great value.
