This book was released on 2015 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lower Cretaceous Bluesky Formation of Alberta comprises marginal marine to marine siliciclastic sediments deposited during transgression of the Boreal Sea. The preserved record of sedimentation represents a complex lateral and vertical architecture, making sub-surface correlation challenging. As the Bluesky Formation is the primary host to substantial bitumen deposits of the Peace River heavy oil sands, a refined interpretation of palaeodeposition is crucial to exploration activities. To achieve this objective, high-resolution sedimentological and ichnological data was recorded from a 40 core dataset within an area of approximately 215 km2. Additionally, the process ichnology methodology was utilized to enhance the identification of physical and chemical stresses not revealed through sedimentary analysis. Eleven distinct facies are recognized within the dataset (F1-F11). These facies are the building blocks of four Facies Association (FA1-FA4), which consist of: FA1-wave-dominated, fluvially-influenced delta; FA2-bay-margin shoreface to offshore bay-margin; FA3-wave-dominated marine delta; and, FA4-wave-influenced brackish sedimentation. FA1-FA3 are considered to be coeval, and represent periodic progradation within an overall transgressive marine embayment. FA4 is considered to represent a late-stage change in relative sea-level, juxtaposing brackish-water sediments onto offshore bay-margin, and wave-dominated deltaic facies. By focusing on a relatively understudied area, this work has contributed to the broad-scale understanding of Bluesky Formation architecture. Additionally, it has helped establish the utility of applying the process ichnological methodology to core datasets. Ideally, the combined sedimentological and ichnological characteristics identified within this work will aid in recognition of similar depositional systems in the rock record.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integration of ichnological information into sedimentological models, and vice versa, is one of the main means by which we can improve our understanding of ancient depositional environments. Mainly intended for sedimentologists, this book aims to make ichnological methods as part of facies interpretation more popular, providing an analytical review of the ichnology of all major depositional environments and the use of ichnology in biostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic analysis. It starts with an introduction to the historical aspect of ichnology, introducing common concepts and methods, and then continues with parts treating the main depositional systems from continental, shallow-marine and deep-marine siliciclastics, and marine carbonates. The last part is dedicated to the ichnology in hydrocarbon reservoir and aquifer characterization. First overview in 25 years of the status of ichnological studies in facies reconstructions of all major depositional environments Written by a selected, well-experienced and specialized international authorship Provides easy access to the comprehensive and widespread literature

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tide-Dominated Han River Delta provides a thorough analysis of a river delta in which tidal currents have reworked the river-borne sediment, generating characteristic geomorphological and sedimentological signatures in the process. Such "tide-dominated" deltas are common in the modern ocean, forming the substrate upon which entire populations are built. Furthermore, ancient examples contain enormous volumes of hydrocarbon. Despite this, tide-dominated deltas remain less well understood than their wave- and river-dominated counterparts, largely because processes within them are inherently more complex and fewer modern examples have been investigated in detail. This multi-year study by a team of experts in coastal geoscience represents the most complete documentation of a tide-dominated delta to date. Results help advance, and are applicable to, a broad range of fields within sedimentary geology, including clastic sedimentology, seismic and sequence stratigraphy, and coastal geomorphology, in addition to petroleum geology and reservoir engineering. Offers new access to results of a multi-year hydrocarbon-reservoir analogue study not available elsewhere Features 75 full-color figures and illustrations to emphasize critical aspects of the delta’s sedimentology, geomorphology, and stratigraphy Provides basic data that better define what tide-dominated deltas are, how these complex systems behave over time, and why this is so Aids petroleum geologists and reservoir engineers in predicting the distribution of baffles and barriers in tide-dominated sediment bodies, helping in the successful development of reservoirs
