This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Carboniferous Shannon Basin of Western Ireland has become one of the most visited field areas in the world. It provides an ideal opportunity for examining a wide range of ancient sedimentary environments, including carbonate shelf, reefs and mud mounds, black shales and phosphates, and a spectrum of deep sea, shallow marine, fluvio-deltaic and alluvial siliciclastic sediments. The area boasts extensive outcrops and some of the most renowned sections through turbidites, large-scale soft sediment deformation features and sediments that display a response to tectonic and sea-level controls. This field guide provides the first synthesis of the principal localities in this area of Western Ireland, and presents an easily accessible handbook that will guide the reader to, and within, a wide range of sedimentary facies, allowing an understanding of the evolving nature of the fill of this Carboniferous basin and the context of its sedimentary and tectonic evolution. The guide summarizes recent and new work in the area by a range of authors and outlines issues of current debate concerning the Shannon Basin and its palaeoenvironmental interpretation. The field guide will find extensive use in teaching and research by academic researchers, professional and amateur geologists, as well as by applied geologists, geophysicists and reservoir engineers who use these outcrops as analogues for subsurface reservoirs in many areas of the world.

This book was released on 2001-06-06 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Required reading for geologists working in the offshore areas, Volume 10 continues the series from the Norwegian Petroleum Society. This work provides an up-to-date review of the late Palaeozoic to present sedimentary history of the Norwegian offshore areas in the North Sea and Mid-Norway basins. Case studies, overview articles and analogue examples from adjacent areas such as Greenland and Denmark, present new ideas on the development of the Norwegian margin from the Carboniferous through the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. In particular, new evidence and interpretations are presented on well-known major reservoir-bearing successions such as the Statfjord Formation and Dunlin Group in the Northern North Sea, and the Åre and the Tilje Formations in the Mid-Norway area. Furthermore, the Upper Jurassic succession in the Haltenbanken area is described, giving new evidence on the interplay between extensional tectonics and sedimentation during the second major rift phase in the area. The Cretaceous and Cenozoic periods are treated extensively, showing their importance as overall deep water sedimentary systems with proven and potential reservoir rocks, such as in the Ormen Lange Field, and for causing burial of Jurassic rocks to advantageous depths for hydrocarbon generation. The Recent sedimentary history of the Norwegian margin is treated with examples of the glacial history and giant submarine slides which understanding is vital for the placement of offshore installations. The book is organised based on geologic time, from Palaeozoic through Mesozoic to Cenozoic examples. It includes a set of palaeogeographic maps from the Carboniferous through to the Cenozoic. In addition, there are numerous examples of core photographs, well log data, correlation panels and seismic as well as outcrop photographs and logs from the analogue examples. Comprehensive reference and keyword lists are also included.
Download or read book British Upper Carboniferous Stratigraphy written by C.J. Cleal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume summarizes the results of a survey of British Upper Carboniferous sites, undertaken between 1978 and 1990 as part of the Geological Conservation Review (GCR). The GCR was the first attempt to assess the scientific significance of all Britain's geological sites and has proved a landmark in the development of a coherent geological conservation strategy in this country. To ensure that the assessments were based on a firm logical and scientific foundation, the range of scientific interest was divided into ninety-seven discrete subject 'blocks', reflecting the natural divisions of stratigraphy, palaeogeography and geological process; Westphalian stratigraphy and Namurian stratigraphy were two of these blocks. The first stage in the survey was a review of the literature, to establish a compre hensive database of sites. From this, a provisional list of potentially significant sites was made and this was circulated to all relevant specialists in this country and abroad. At the same time, the sites were visited to assess their physical condition and whether the interest was still extant. In some cases, excavation (so-called 'site-cleaning') was carried out to see if the interest of a site could be resurrected or enhanced. The com ments made by the specialists and the field observations were then used to produce a second site list, which again was circulated for comment.

Download or read book Mass transport Deposits in Deepwater Settings written by R. Craig Shipp and published by SEPM Soc for Sed Geology. This book was released on 2011 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, submarine-mass failures or mass-transport deposits have been a focus of increasingly intense investigation by academic institutions particularly during the last decade, though they received much less attention by geoscientists in the energy industry. With recent interest in expanding petroleum exploration and production into deeper water-depths globally and more widespread availability of high-quality data sets, mass-transport deposits are now recognized as a major component of most deep-water settings. This recognition has lead to the realization that many aspects of these deposits are still unknown or poorly understood. This volume contains twenty-three papers that address a number of topics critical to further understanding mass-transport deposits. These topics include general overviews of these deposits, depositional settings on the seafloor and in the near-subsurface interval, geohazard concerns, descriptive outcrops, integrated outcrop and seismic data/seismic forward modeling, petroleum reservoirs, and case studies on several associated topics. This volume will appeal to a broad cross section of geoscientists and geotechnical engineers, who are interested in this rapidly expanding field. The selection of papers in this volume reflects a growing trend towards a more diverse blend of disciplines and topics, covered in the study of mass-transport deposits.
Download or read book The Ordos Basin written by Renchao Yang and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ordos Basin: Sedimentological Research for Hydrocarbons Exploration provides an overview of sedimentological approaches used in the lacustrine Ordos Basin (but also applicable in other marine and lacustrine basins) to make hydrocarbon exploration more efficient. Oil exploration is becoming increasingly focused on tight sandstone reservoirs and shales. The development of these reservoirs, particularly regarding the sedimentary processes and the resulting sediments, are still poorly understood. Exploration and exploitation of such reservoirs requires new insights into the lateral and vertical facies changes, and as already indicated above, the knowledge surrounding facies and how they change in deep-water environments is still relatively unclear. Covers several geological aspects so the reader may well understand the context of the various chapters Explores and explains the important relationship between sedimentology and hydrocarbon explorations Highlights the significance of sedimentological aspects (facies, porosity, etc.) for basin analysis and the development of energy resources
Download or read book Anatomy of a Carboniferous Transgression Upper Tullig Cyclothem County Clare Ireland written by Eric P. Obrock and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyclothems record the sedimentary product of cyclicity in relative sea-level on either a regional or global scale, showing both regressive and transgressive phases. This study aims to contribute to our understanding of the sedimentary consequences of relative sea-level rise in a Carboniferous transgressive sequence in County Clare, western Ireland. The transgression in focus is at the top of the Tullig Cyclothem, and is exposed in several sections over a distance of 46 km. The aims of this thesis are to describe and interpret: 1) the detailed sedimentology and stratigraphy of the transgressive upper portion of the Tullig Cyclothem, 2) the nature (continuous or stepped) of, and controls upon, relative sea-level change, and 3) the paleoenvironmental transition from fluvio-deltaic to open marine conditions, and how this ties in to the overall evolution of the Western Irish Namurian Basin. These aims have been achieved by examination of all the outcrops of the transgressive upper Tullig cyclothem in County Clare, which show considerable lateral variation from north to south. One complete section of the transgressive Tullig is exposed at Trusklieve, where the sedimentary infill begins at the top of the fluvio-deltaic sandstone channels of the Tullig Sandstone. At this point, relative sea-level was at its minimum, and the beginning of the transgression is marked by symmetrical dunes, reworked dunes, and Zoophycos trace fossils. This surface is overlain by nearly 20 meters of unfossiliferous dark grey shales and siltstones, which are more organic rich and contain siderite nodules at their base, and are then topped by 4 meters of sandstone sheets, and finally a goniatite-rich fossil bed. This goniatite band marks the maximum relative sea-level within the Tullig cyclothem, and a fully marine environment. In terms of outcrop thickness, there is significant lateral variability between the nine outcrops studied in this thesis. The outcrops in the north (i.e. Furreera and Cliffs of Moher) are significantly thinner (less than 10 meters) than their southern counterparts, with the outcrop at Carrowmore Point being exceptionally thick (~50 meters). Additionally, the ratio of sandstone to siltstone also varies significantly between outcrops, and between one and three coarsening-upwards parasequences can be identified at these different locations. The outcrops that are centrally-located in the region (between Diamond Rocks and Carrowmore Point) possess the greatest thicknesses of sands and also up to three parasequences. At these localities, the presence of thick sandstones overlying shales and mudstones correlates strongly with the presence of mud diapirs, large-scale slumping and growth faults. The field study is used to propose a model for paleoenvironmental change through the upper transgressive portion of the Tullig Cyclothem: a transition from active fluvio-deltaic sands and coals of the upper Tullig Sandstone, followed by subaqueous delta plain muds and silts, progradational mouth bar sands, and finally the Reticuloceras stubblefieldi goniatite fossil bed. These changing paleoenvironments are interpreted in terms of the competition between relative sea-level change, which itself appears to be controlled by both eustatic sea-level change and local subsidence, and sediment supply, which is determined by both distance to source (as affected by relative sea-level) and local river channel avulsion and abandonment.
