Book Synopsis Stratigraphic Evolution of Foreland Basins by : Steven L. Dorobek
Download or read book Stratigraphic Evolution of Foreland Basins written by Steven L. Dorobek and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strong case can be made that foreland basins are where the casual links between sedimentation and tectonic events were first recognized, as evidenced by the interpretations of geologists working in classic foreland areas. This Special Publication was derived from a Research Symposium entitled "Stratigraphic Sequences in Foreland Basins" held at the AAPG-SEPM joint annual meeting on June, 1992, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This volume provides a well-balanced perspective of current research on foreland basin stratigraphy and also serves as another element in the evolving framework that comprises our understanding of foreland basins. Given that so many of earth's resources are found in foreland basins and that foreland basin strata often provide the only preserved record of the tectonic events that led to basin development, the impetus for continued studies of foreland basin strata should remain for many generations of geologists to come.
Book Synopsis Controls on Carbonate Platform and Reef Development by : Jeff Lukasik
Download or read book Controls on Carbonate Platform and Reef Development written by Jeff Lukasik and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbonate platforms and reefs emerge, grow and die in response to intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms forced primarily by tectonics, oceanography, climate, ecology and eustasy. These mechanisms, or controls, create the physical, biological and chemical signals accountable for the myriad of carbonate depositional responses that, together, form the complex depositional systems present in the modern and ancient settings. If we are to fully comprehend these systems, it is critical to ascertain which controls ultimately govern the "life cycle" of carbonate platforms and reefs and understand how these signals are recorded and preserved. Deciphering which signals produce a dominant sedimentological response from the plethora of physical and biological information generated from superimposed regional to global-scale controls is critical to achieving this goal. With this understanding, it may be possible to extract common time- and space-independent depositional responses to specific mechanisms that may, ultimately, be used in a productive sense. Extensive research on a wide variety of carbonate platform and reefal systems in the past few decades has provided the foundation and understanding necessary to take carbonate research to a new level. With assistance from rapidly advancing computer software and an increasing use of cross-disciplinary integration, carbonate research is shifting from description and morphological analysis towards a science that is more focused on the assessment of process and genetic relationships. The aim of this special publication is to present a cross section of recent research that shows this evolution from a variety of perspectives and scales using examples distributed throughout the Phanerozoic.

Book Synopsis Deposits, Architecture, and Controls of Carbonate Margin, Slope, and Basinal Settings by : Klaas Verwer
Download or read book Deposits, Architecture, and Controls of Carbonate Margin, Slope, and Basinal Settings written by Klaas Verwer and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbonate margin, slope and basinal depositional environments, and their transitions, are highly dynamic and heterogeneous components of carbonate platform systems. Carbonate slopes are of particular interest because they form repositories for volumetrically significant amounts of sediment produced from nearly all carbonate environments, and form the links between shallow-water carbonate platform settings where prevailing in situ factories reside and their equivalent deeper-water settings dominated by resedimentation processes. Slope environments also provide an extensive stratigraphic record that, although is preserved differently than platform-top or basinal strata, can be utilized to unravel the growth evolution, sediment factories, and intrinsic to extrinsic parameters that control carbonate platform systems. In addition to many stimulating academic aspects of carbonate margin, slope, and basinal settings, they are increasingly recognized as significant conventional hydrocarbon reservoirs as well. The papers in this volume, which are drawn from the presentations made at the AAPG Annual Meeting in Long Beach, California (USA), in May 2012, as well as solicited submissions, provide insights into the spectrum of deposit types, stratal configurations, styles of growth, spatial architectures, controlling factors behind variations, and the hydrocarbon reservoir potential observed across the globe in these systems. The sixteen papers in this Special Publication include conceptual works, subsurface studies and outcrop studies, and are grouped into sections on conceptual works or syntheses, margin to basin development and controlling factors, architecture and controls on carbonate margins, and carbonate distal slope and basin floor development.

Book Synopsis Physical, Chemical, and Biological Controls on the Stratigraphic Evolution and Spatial Variability of an Isolated Carbonate Platform by : Brian Michael Kelley
Download or read book Physical, Chemical, and Biological Controls on the Stratigraphic Evolution and Spatial Variability of an Isolated Carbonate Platform written by Brian Michael Kelley and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isolated carbonate platforms can provide substantial hydrocarbon reservoirs because they develop significant depositional relief and are commonly buried by relatively impermeable basin-filling sediments. Consequently, there is ongoing interest in the mechanisms that control their morphology and facies distributions. Because the deposition of carbonate sediments is influenced by a complex interaction of environmental conditions that vary both temporally and spatially across depositional systems, the relative importance of controls on platform morphology is difficult to constrain. The key to developing a better understanding is to recognize causal links between changes in oceanographic conditions and variability in resulting geometries. Unfortunately, most studies of exposed carbonate platforms limit the ability to discern influences beyond fluctuations in relative sea level, because they are based on a single cross section of a platform and record deposition during periods of relative stasis in ocean chemistry and biotic evolution. In this study, however, I examined cross-sectional exposures from three geographic sectors of the Late Permian to Late Triassic Great Bank of Guizhou (GBG) in the Nanpanjiang Basin of south China. Deposition on the GBG spanned the tumultuous transition from Paleozoic to Mesozoic oceans, providing a rare opportunity to evaluate the influence of changes in carbonate factory type during a period of significant global change. In addition, I compared multiple exposures of the platform to determine the differential impact of basin-wide controls such as external sediment supply and antecedent topography on the evolution of platform geometries. The integrated analysis of satellite imagery, field mapping, chemostratigraphy, biostratigraphy and petrography shows that chemical and biological controls associated with end-Paleozoic extinction and environmental disturbance led to changes in carbonate factory type that contributed to significant temporal variability in the platform geometry. The GBG initiated with small patch reefs in the latest Permian, was dominated by microbial carbonates in the immediate aftermath of extinction, progressed to a low-relief bank with oolite shoal margins in the earliest Triassic when skeletal organisms were rare, developed a high-relief morphology with steep slopes when transport was limited by rapid cementation, and later established a reef-rimmed margin as environmental conditions allowed for the return of abundant skeletal organisms in benthic environments. In contrast, physical controls, including antecedent topography and external sediment supply, produced significant spatial variability in the GBG. In the northwestern sector, over-steepening led to the development of an erosional escarpment and bypass margin following an initial interval of Early Triassic progradation over a shallow basin floor. In the northeastern sector, a similar pattern was disrupted by Middle Triassic influx of siliciclastic sediments that raised the basin floor, reduced topographic relief, and provided a structural foundation for multiple episodes of progradation and the retention of an accretionary margin. In the southwestern sector, an adjacent deep basin established significant topographic relief, eliminating the structural support for progradation and leading to large-scale sector collapse of the platform margin. This study provides causal links between depositional environments and resulting geometries and shows that changes in carbonate factory type, differences in antecedent topography, and the pattern and timing of external sediment supply have a significant impact on the stratigraphic evolution of isolated carbonate platforms.

Book Synopsis Neritic Carbonate Sediments in a Temperate Realm by : Noel P. James
Download or read book Neritic Carbonate Sediments in a Temperate Realm written by Noel P. James and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive documentation and interpretation of modern neritic carbonate sediments on the southern Australian continental margin, the largest cool-water carbonate depositional system on the globe. The approach is classical but the information is new. A brief chapter of introduction is followed by a section that describes the setting of the continental margin in terms of the regional geology, its evolution through time, the climate, and the complex oceanography. The setting is further explored in chapter 3 that outlines the Pleistocene history of sedimentation in this region. This is particularly important since many of the surficial sediments have a partial older history. The following section on the carbonate factory describes in detail the nature of the animals and plants that determine the nature of the sediments and the environmental conditions that control their distribution. The shelf itself cannot be discussed in isolation and thus a short chapter on the marginal marine environment is presented. The core of the book comprises two chapters that document the suite of depositional facies and their composition and then the suite of depositional environments where these sediments are found. The variety of deposits in this vast area is such that three chapters are devoted to the character of the materials on the southwestern shelf the south Australian sea and the southeastern shelf. The diagenesis that affects these sediments is tackled in a chapter after all the attributes are documented because they are intimately linked to different controls. The book finishes with a summary chapter that also addresses the various controls on sedimentation and models the effects to be expected when these are changed outside those present in the current realm. Audience: The book is an invaluable source of information about this vast region and will be a critical reference for researchers, graduate students, and professionals engaged in marine and environmental research. It will be of particular importance for geologists interpreting the ancient rock record.

Book Synopsis Cenozoic Carbonate Systems of Australasia by : American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Meeting
Download or read book Cenozoic Carbonate Systems of Australasia written by American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Meeting and published by SEPM Soc for Sed Geology. This book was released on 2010 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cenozoic carbonate systems of Australasia are the product of a diverse assortment of depositional and post-depositional processes, reflecting the interplay of eustasy, tectonics (both plate and local scale), climate, and evolutionary trends that influenced their initiation and development. These systems, which comprise both land-attached and isolated platforms, were initiated in a wide variety of tectonic settings (including rift, passive margin, and arc-related) and under warm and cool-water conditions where, locally, siliciclastic input affected their development. The lithofacies, biofacies, growth morphology, diagenesis, and hydrocarbon reservoir potential of these systems are products of these varying influences. The studies reported in this volume range from syntheses of tectonic and depositional factors influencing carbonate deposition and controls on reservoir formation and petroleum system development, to local studies from the South China Sea, Indonesia, Kalimantan, Malaysia, the Marion Plateau, the Philippines, Western Australia, and New Caledonia that incorporate outcrop and subsurface data, including 3-D seismic imaging of carbonate platforms and facies, to understand the interplay of factors affecting the development of these systems under widely differing circumstances. This volume will be of importance to geoscientists interested in the variability of Cenozoic carbonate systems and the factors that controlled their formation, and to those wanting to understand the range of potential hydrocarbon reservoirs discovered in these carbonates and the events that led to favorable reservoir and trap development.

Book Synopsis Carbonate Depositional Environments by : Peter A. Scholle
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. --
Book Synopsis Seismic Characterization of Carbonate Platforms and Reservoirs by : J. Hendry
Download or read book Seismic Characterization of Carbonate Platforms and Reservoirs written by J. Hendry and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern seismic data have become an essential toolkit for studying carbonate platforms and reservoirs in impressive detail. Whilst driven primarily by oil and gas exploration and development, data sharing and collaboration are delivering fundamental geological knowledge on carbonate systems, revealing platform geomorphologies and how their evolution on millennial time scales, as well as kilometric length scales, was forced by long-term eustatic, oceanographic or tectonic factors. Quantitative interrogation of modern seismic attributes in carbonate reservoirs permits flow units and barriers arising from depositional and diagenetic processes to be imaged and extrapolated between wells. This volume reviews the variety of carbonate platform and reservoir characteristics that can be interpreted from modern seismic data, illustrating the benefits of creative interaction between geophysical and carbonate geological experts at all stages of a seismic campaign. Papers cover carbonate exploration, including the uniquely challenging South Atlantic pre-salt reservoirs, seismic modelling of carbonates, and seismic indicators of fluid flow and diagenesis.
