This book was released on 1999 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Upper Triassic through Lower Jurassic on Alaska's North Slope is a critical stratigraphic interval underlying a major sequence boundary between pre-rift and syn-rift mega-sequences. This study is a subsurface analysis of the units immediately underlying this boundary to better understand the paleogeography, depositional controls, and timing of initial extension associated with rifting to form the Canada Basin. Well data from across the North Slope were utilized to describe and interpret the facies architecture, depositional setting, and sequence stratigraphy of the Eileen sandstone, Shublik Formation, and Sag River Sandstone. The stratigraphic interval was subdivided into three depositional sequences deposited during three episodes of relative sea-level rise and fall. The sequences correlate with eustatic sea-level curves, implying eustatic sea-level change was a depositional control. Pronounced along-strike thickness variations of sequence geometries has identified a series of paleohighs that also influenced depositional patterns and potentially represent the earliest signals of rift-related tectonism"--Leaf 3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sedimentary Basins of the United States and Canada, Second Edition, focuses on the large, regional, sedimentary accumulations in Canada and the United States. Each chapter provides a succinct summary of the tectonic setting and structural and paleogeographic evolution of the basin it covers, with details on structure and stratigraphy. The book features four new chapters that cover the sedimentary basins of Alaska and the Canadian Arctic. In addition to sedimentary geologists, this updated reference is relevant for basin analysis, regional geology, stratigraphy, and for those working in the hydrocarbon exploration industry. Features updates to existing chapters, along with new chapters on sedimentary basins in Alaska and Arctic Canada Includes nearly 300 detailed, full-color paleogeographic maps Written for general geological audiences and individuals working in the resources sector, particularly those in the fossil fuel industry

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle to Late Triassic Shublik Formation in northern Alaska is the dominant source rock for Prudhoe Bay, the largest conventional hydrocarbon accumulation in North America, and is being studied as an unconventional reservoir because of recent shale oil exploitation in North America. This heterogeneous shale unit in the subsurface of northern Alaska provides insight on the evolution of upwelling systems during relative sea level change over geologic time. The accumulation, dilution, and more importantly preservation of organic matter are linked to relative changes in sea level, shelf bathymetry and paleoredox conditions. Multiple well correlations and isochore maps indicate thickness trends were influenced by topographical features and relative sea level during the Middle-Upper Triassic in northern Alaska. Sedimentary features, primary production, Corg preservation and oxygen concentrations were controlled by the upwelling-influenced position of the oxygen minimum zone during fluctuations in relative sea level. The Shublik Formation is a world class resource play with Corg concentrations up to 10 wt. % within the predominantly carbonate mudstone to wackestone transgressive systems tracts. Previous sequence stratigraphic interpretations of Middle-Upper Triassic deposits in northern Alaska indicate three, 3rd order depositional sequences. Evaluation of the closely spaced samples and general trends in lithology has led to a revised sequence stratigraphic architecture that includes an additional fourth depositional sequence in comparison to previous interpretations.
