This book was released on 2015-08-26 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clastic Depositional Systems owe most of their diversity and heterogeneity to the many different geologic processes that control their formation and give rise to the characteristics of the resultant sedimentary environments. Clastic depositional systems cover different environment, ranging from the non-marine to the marine environment. In nonmarine environments, the systems constitute the fluvial, alluvial, eolian and lacustrine sub-environments, whereas, in marine setting the systems cover deltaic, shallow marine and deep marine settings. The aim of this work has been to demonstrate the effectiveness of geophysical approaches to accurately resolve subsurface geology in the absence of geological data. This work also contributes significantly to a wider spatial analysis of subsurface geology through seismic interpretation, which is normally limited in space by the conventional one dimensional core analysis. In addition, electrosequence analysis provides extra subsurface geological information which is useful in the accurate prediction of possible target and reduces exploration risk, invariably.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonrenewable energy resources, comprising fossil fuels and uranium, are not ran domly distributed within the Earth's crust. They formed in response to a complex array of geologic controls, notably the genesis of the sedimentary rocks that host most commercial energy resources. It is this genetic relationship between economic re sources and environment that forms the basis for this book. Our grouping of petro leum, coal, uranium, and ground water may appear to be incongruous or artificial. But our basic premise is that these ostensibly disparate resources share common genetic attributes and that the sedimentological principles governing their natural distributions and influencing their recovery are fundamentally similar. Our combined careers have focused on these four resources, and our experiences in projects worldwide reveal that certain recurring geologic factors are important in controlling the distribution of com mercial accumulations and subsurface fluid flow. These critical factors include the shape and stability of the receiving basin, the major depositional elements and their internal detail, and the modifications during burial that are brought about in these sediments by pressure, circulating fluids, heating, and chemical reaction. Since the first edition of this book in 1983, there has been a quantum leap in the volume of literature devoted to genetic stratigraphy and refinement of sedimentologi cal principles and a commensurate increase in the application of these concepts to resource exploration and development.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reserves, or extractable fraction, of the fuel-mineral endowment are sufficient to supply the bulk of the world's energy requirements for the immediately forseeable future-well into the next century according to even the most pessimistic predictions. But increasingly sophisticated exploration concepts and technology must be employed to maintain and, if possible, add to the reserve base. Most of the world's fuel-mineral resources are in sedimentary rocks. Any procedure or concept that helps describe, under stand, and predict the external geometry and internal attributes of major sedimentary units can therefore contribute to discovery and recovery of coal, uranium, and petroleum. While conceding the desirability of renewable and nonpolluting energy supply from gravitational, wind, or solar sources, the widespread deployment of these systems lies far in the future-thus the continued commercial emphasis on conventional nonrenewable fuel mineral resources, even though their relative significance will fluctuate with time. For example, a decade ago the progilostications for uranium were uniformly optimistic. But in the early 1980s the uranium picture is quite sombre, although unlikely to remain permanently depressed. Whether uranium soars to the heights of early expectations remains to be seen. Problems of waste disposal and public acceptance persist. Fusion reactors may ultimately eliminate the need for uranium in power generation, but for the next few decades there will be continued demand for uranium to fuel existing power plants and those that come on stream. This book is, to some extent, a hybrid.

Book Synopsis Sequence Stratigraphic Framework and Systems Tracts Analysis of Lower Miocene Shelfal Clastic Deposits by : Brian Timothy Moore
Download or read book Sequence Stratigraphic Framework and Systems Tracts Analysis of Lower Miocene Shelfal Clastic Deposits written by Brian Timothy Moore and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The deposits of the Lower Miocene section of the Redfish Bay area along the Texas Gulf Coast were characterized and their systems tracts and depositional environments were interpreted. A three-dimensional seismic volume and associated wireline-logs were used in an analysis of base-level changes and in the characterization of third-order sequences within the Lower Miocene stratigraphic section, which includes highstand, transgressive, and lowstand-incised-valley systems tracts. The Lower Miocene interval in the Redfish Bay study area consists of four unconformity bounded third-order sequences. The oldest sequence, sequence I, contains a lowstand systems tract (LST), transgressive systems tract (TST), and highstand systems tract (HST). The above-lying sequence II is similar to sequence I. The next two younger sequences in the Miocene interval, sequences III and IV, contain only the TST and HST. Emphasis has been placed on the LST incised-valley deposits in this study as the origin of the sand that makes up this system tract has been debated for years. LSTs contain a higher net-sand thickness to gross interval thickness ratio, relative to the TSTs and HSTs. There is a decreasing sand-percentage trend from LST to TST to HST in the lower two sequences. A decreasing sand-percentage trend from TST to HST continues in sequence III. In sequence IV there is an increasing sand percentage trend from TST to HST. The deposits of the LST of sequence I are interpreted as incised-valley fill. The incised-valley fill contains higher-frequency sequences, within the third-order LST, composed of amalgamated fluvial deposits and transgressive estuarine deposits. The TST of sequence I displays more wave-dominated and more wide-spread sand deposits than the LST. Depositional systems encountered in the HST are progradational deltas and interlobe deposits. The lowstand amalgamated fluvial deposits and transgressive estuarine sediments, which filled the incised-valley of the third-order LST of sequence II, were deposited during higher-frequency cycles. The interbedded stratigraphy of the high frequency sequences within this LST suggests that it has much more estuarine influence than the LST of sequence I. The deposits of the TST of sequence II are more dominated by destructive processes than the deposits in the LST. Depositional systems composing the HST are difficult to discern, but are interpreted as having been deposited in a shallow water, mud-rich environment. Within sequence III, no LST incised valley deposits are recognized from the wireline-log patterns or in the seismic data. It is also evident from the wireline-logs that the TST and HST in sequence III are very sand poor. The TST of sequence IV had more sand influx relative to sequence III. As indicated by wireline-log analysis, fluvial depositional systems dominate the TST and HST. The variability in the amount of amalgamation of fluvial channels within the systems tracts suggests that the fluvial system is responding to relative base-level fluctuations. In the TST, the fluvial channels range from more amalgamated sand bodies at depth where rate of relative base-level rise is lowest, to less amalgamated sand bodies with an increasing rate of relative base-level rise. In the HST where relative base-level was already high, the fluvial channel sand bodies become less amalgamated following the maximum flooding event. As the relative rate of base-level rise decreases in the HST, the fluvial channel sand bodies become more amalgamated. Integration of wireline-log characteristics, structural mapping from 3-D seismic data, isopach mapping between third-order erosional surfaces, and analysis of seismic stratal slices, demonstrate the existence of dip-oriented, incised-valley depositional systems within the LSTs of sequences I and II. The Lower Miocene stata in the study area were deposited twenty miles up-dip of the late Oligocene shelf-edge. The recognition of incised-valley systems is important for understanding the sequence stratigraphic framework and the origin of thick, massive sands of the Lower Miocene deposits of the middle Texas Gulf Coast. The incised-valley systems are also important because they transported Lower Miocene sediment to deepwater areas

Book Synopsis The Geology of Stratigraphic Sequences by : Andrew D. Miall
Download or read book The Geology of Stratigraphic Sequences written by Andrew D. Miall and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequence stratigraphy represents a new paradigm in geology. The principal hypothesis is that stratigraphie successions may be subdivided into discrete sequences bounded by widespread unconformities. There are two parts to this hypothesis. First, it suggests that the driving forces which generate sequences and their bounding unconformities also generate predietable three-dimensional stratigraphies. In re cent years stratigraphie research guided by sequence models has brought about fundamental im provements in our understanding of stratigraphie processes and the controls of basin architecture. Sequence models have provided a powerful framework for mapping and numerieal modeling, enabling the science of stratigraphy to advance with rapid strides. This research has demonstrated the importance of a wide range of processes for the generation of cyclie sequences, including eustasy, tectonics, and orbital forcing of climate change. The main objective of this book is to document the sequence record and to discuss our current state of knowledge about sequence-generating processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to complement the author's 1996 book "The geology of fluvial deposits", not to replace it. The book summarizes methods of mapping and interpretation of fluvial depositional systems, with a detailed treatment of the tectonic, climatic and eustatic controls on fluvial depositional processes. It focuses on the preserved, ancient depositional record and emphasizes large-scale (basin-scale) depositional processes. Tectonic and climatic controls of fluvial sedimentation and the effects of base-level change on sequence architecture are discussed. Profusely illustrated and with an extensive reference to the recent literature, this book will be welcomed by the student and professional geologist alike.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as a practical handbook for those engaged in the task of analyzing the paleogeographic evolution of ancient sedimentary basins. The science of stratigraphy and sedimentology is central to such endeavors, but although several excellent textbooks on sedimentology have appeared in recent years little has been written about modern stratigraphic methods. Sedimentology textbooks tend to take a theoretical approach, building from physical and chemical theory and studies of mod ern environments. It is commonly difficult to apply this information to practical problems in ancient rocks, and very little guidance is given on methods of observation, mapping and interpretation. In this book theory is downplayed and the emphasis is on what a geologist can actually see in outcrops, well records, and cores, and what can be ob tained using geophysical techniques. A new approach is taken to stratigraphy, which attempts to explain the genesis of lithostratigraphic units and to de-emphasize the importance of formal description and nam ing. There are also sections explaining principles of facies analysis, basin mapping methods, depositional systems, and the study of basin thermal history, so important to the genesis of fuels and minerals. Lastly, an at tempt is made to tie everything together by considering basins in the con text of plate tectonics and eustatic sea level changes.
