Download or read book Carbonate Mud Mounds written by C. L. V. Monty and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-04-13 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to investigate the structure, origin and evolution of carbonate mud-mounds. Mud-mounds are accumulations of biogenic carbonate sediment that are common in the geological record, and economically important as they host lead zinc mineralization and oil and gas. The book reviews, for the first time, the different mechanisms of mud-mound formation and examines in detail the major changes in mud-mound type and occurrence through geological time. The major part of the book contains case studies of mud-mounds from the Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. The coverage is global and truly international, with 32 authors from 10 countries. The first volume to deal with the structure, formation and evolution of mud-mounds. Copiously illustrated, with nine colour plates.

Download or read book Mud and Mudstones written by Samer Ghadeer and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lithofacies variability in fine-grained sedimentary successions is poorly known relative to that present in other sedimentary strata. In most existing models, researchers have argued that the mechanisms that underpin facies variability are produced by a combination of detrital inputs to the basin, primary production in the water column and diagenesis once the grains have been produced. In order to investigate the validity of these models, a fine-grained, mudstone succession (Cleveland Basin) exposed on the Yorkshire Coast of NE England has been investigated using a combination of field, optical, electron optical, and geochemical methods. Analyses reveal that there is a great deal of cryptic lithofacies variability preserved on

Download or read book Microstructure of Fine Grained Sediments written by Richard Harold Bennett and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1991 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge of basic clay microstructure is fundamental to an understanding of the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of fine-grained sediments and rocks. This compilation of fifty-nine peer-reviewed papers examines clay microstructure in detail with comprehensive sections focusing on microstructure signatures, environmental processes, modeling, measurement techniques, and future research recommendations. Many of these topics are discussed in light of geological and engineering applications, such as hazardous waste disposal, construction techniques, and drilling programs. The field of clay microstructure is developing rapidly. The concepts, observations, and principles presented in this book will help stimulate new thought and be a "spring board" for exciting new research.

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
