Download or read book Carbonate Depositional Environments written by Peter A. Scholle and published by AAPG. This book was released on 1983 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the book you need to improve your interpretations of carbonates. Using a systematic treatment of the entire subject of carbonate depositional environments, this unique book is specifically designed for use by the non-specialist -- the petroleum geologist or field geologist -- who uses carbonate depositional environments in facies reconstructions and environmental intepretations. This classic work, covering settings from non-marine to deep water, focuses on the recognition of depositional environments with extenive use of color diagrams and photographs of sedimentary structures and facies assemblages. Although the ultimate purpose of this text is to improve exploration for oil, gas, and mineral deposits, it also includes environments not normally considered to be particularly prospective for oil and gas in an attempt to provide as complete a framework as possible for recognition of environments. Suitable for use as a textbook, this book is also an invaluable reference fo the specialist or advanced graduate student. It provides perspective on large-scale influences on carbonate depositional envionments such as tectonic patterns, fluctuations of sea level, variations of climate, and evolutionary patterns of organisms. --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1950 geologists have learned more about the origin and lithification of carbonate sediments than in all the previous years of the history of science. This is true in all the diverse fields of carbonate geology: the study of Recent environments, marine zoology and botany, organic geochemistry, trace element and isotope geochemistry, mineralogy, microfacies of depositional environments, and trace-fossil and sedimentary structure investigation. A synthesis of this new knowledge is just beginning to be formulated. The purpose of this volume is to introduce the advanced student and petroleum explorationist principally to one important aspect of this study: to some of the principles of carbonate geology which may serve to interpret the depositional environments of ancient strata and to better define their sequences and patterns. Chapter I is a brief review of principles of carbonate sedimentation. (For a full discussion of the mineralogy, geochemistry, and diagenesis of carbonates along with a review of Holocene sediments, one may refer to Bathurst's (1971) and Milliman's (1974) texts.) Chapter II reviews stratigraphic and paleotectonic concepts and discusses a general model for carbonate deposition. Chapter III offers an outline of carbonate petrography, concentrating on lithologic descrip tion for the purposes of environmental interpretation. For a further review of this subject and excellent photomicrographs, Horowitz and Potter (1971) and Majewske (1969) may be used.

Download or read book Sequence Stratigraphy and Characterization of Carbonate Reservoirs written by Charles Kerans and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reservoir management is an important topic in the oil industry today. Conferences, forums, short courses, and technical papers, written and attended by engineers, geologists, geophysicists, petrophysicists, and managers discuss various aspects of reservoir management. A critical component of reservoir management is the accurate characterization of the hydrocarbon asset, called reservoir characterization. The topic of this course is the process of sequence-stratigraphic interpretation and characterization of carbonate reservoirs. Because of the overwhelming mass of information most reservoir geoscientists keep up with either some aspects of sequence-stratigraphy, or some aspects of reservoir characterization, but typically not both. The authors believe that the two disciplines are so intimately related that the sequence framework should be considered a critical piece of the integrated puzzle.

Book excerpt: The 2nd Edition of Carbonate Reservoirs aims to educate graduate students and industry professionals on the complexities of porosity evolution in carbonate reservoirs. In the intervening 12 years since the first edition, there have been numerous studies of value published that need to be recognized and incorporated in the topics discussed. A chapter on the impact of global tectonics and biological evolution on the carbonate system has been added to emphasize the effects of global earth processes and the changing nature of life on earth through Phanerozoic time on all aspects of the carbonate system. The centerpiece of this chapter—and easily the most important synthesis of carbonate concepts developed since the 2001 edition—is the discussion of the CATT hypothesis, an integrated global database bringing together stratigraphy, tectonics, global climate, oceanic geochemistry, carbonate platform characteristics, and biologic evolution in a common time framework. Another new chapter concerns naturally fractured carbonates, a subject of increasing importance, given recent technological developments in 3D seismic, reservoir modeling, and reservoir production techniques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been a virtual explosion of stratigraphic studies utilizing the principles of sequence stratigraphy. Although the concept of time stratigraphy is not new, the packaging of depositional units into systems tracts and sequences is. This new approach has led to the reassessment of areas that in some cases have been the subject of intense geological scrutiny for decades. The fundamental principles upon which sequence stratigraphy is based are applicable at a broad range of temporal and physical scales. This volume arises from several sessions on sequence stratigraphy held at the Thirteenth International Sedimentological Congress, with emphasis on facies associations within a sequence stratigraphic framework.

Download or read book SUBSURFACE DEPOSITIONAL SYSTEMS ANALYSIS OF THE CAMBRIAN EAU CLAIRE FORMATION IN WESTERN OHIO written by Michael W. Laneville and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambrian Eau Claire Formation in western Ohio was examined using depositional systems analysis. This study investigated whether the transgressive barrier depositional model of Banjade (2011) for the adjacent Conasauga-Kerbel Formations also applies to the Eau Claire Formation. This research has determined that Cambrian estuarine/lagoonal deposits are present in western Ohio. This research found a systematic upward change in the Eau Claire Formation from siliciclastic deposits to carbonate deposits. As such, the Eau Claire Formation represents a transition between siliciclastic deposition of the underlying Mt. Simon Sandstone to the carbonate deposition of the overlying Knox Dolomite. This study also found that the contact between the Mt. Simon Sandstone and Eau Claire Formation to be a ravinement surface, and a probable transgressive surface of erosion, in the key study well. Two cores of the Eau Claire Formation were examined: one core contains 184-m of section from well DGS-2627 (Warren County, OH) and the other contains 134-m of section from well BP- 4 (Core 3502) (Allen County, OH). Microfacies analysis was conducted from each core as well as paleontology (cryptospore) analysis. Gamma-ray logs were obtained in LAS format from the Ohio Geological Survey for Warren (DGS-2627), Allen (BP-4), Miami (Walker Ella-1), Auglaize (Hoelscher D&B Comm-1), Defiance (Haver Pearl A-1), and Shelby (Borland-1) counties in Ohio. Once the data was constructed into log format, the BP-4 (Allen County) core data could be correlated with the log data, in other words, lithofacies observed in the core could be matched to the respective geophysical profile. Based on the relationships described above, a geophysical log model was constructed for BP-4. This log model is used to predict depositional facies from other wells that have only geophysical log data. The model was calibrated using both core and geophysical log data from core DGS 2627 in Warren County by predicting depositional facies from the geophysical logs, and then confirming the predictions using the continuous drill core through core DGS 2627. The Eau Claire Formation mostly consists of fine- to coarse-grained sandstone, shale, and carbonate. Siliciclastic tidal rhythmites formed near the base of the Eau Claire Formation, and carbonate tidal rhythmite formed near the top of the section. In both cases, the deposits include double mud drapes, lenticular bedding, wavy bedding, and flaser bedding. Hummocky stratified sandstones are also seen in the middle portion of the Eau Claire Formation overlain with planar laminated and ripple laminated sandstones, siltstones, and mudstones. These deposits are interpreted as tempestite sequences. Similarities exist between the Banjade (2011) model of a barrier island system and this study in that there are similar lithofacies and an overall transition from siliciclastic to mixed siliciclastic to carbonate deposition in a transgressive sequence. However, the results of this study indicates that this location is closest to an estuarine environment with extensive tidal flat deposits seen in this study. The tide dominant deposits identified in this study can also be found in embayed coasts. Basin mapping shows variability in the study area with possible bayhead deltas to the northeast of the study location along with interdistributary bays along the flanks of these lobes. Also, the extensive tidal flat deposits seen in this study can be found adjacent to either of these environments, along interdistributary bays or adjacent to distributary channels from a delta.
