Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steep crystalline-basement faults, commonly indicated by potential-field anomalies, played a crucial role in evolution of continental cratonic platforms. In the Phanerozoic Western Canada Sedimentary Province, history of crustal block movements and warps is reconstructed from the distribution of depocenters, lithofacies and structures in structural-formational étages in sedimentary cover. Each étage is a rock succession formed during a particular tectonic stage; regional tectonic restructuring closes each stage, and the next stage represents a new tectonic regime. Practical tectonic analysis, based on observation of rocks and geophysical data, is a reliable guide for deciphering a region's geologic history and for resource exploration.

Download or read book A Petroleum System Study of the Cratonic Williston Basin in North Dekota, U.S.A. written by Henry Herrera and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Williston Basin is a Phanerozoic intracratonic basin located in the northern USA (North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana) and southern Canada (Manitoba and Saskatchewan). The basin is known as a major hydrocarbon-producing basin in North America, with a petroleum system characterized by multiple source rocks and reservoirs. The aim of this study is to increase our understanding of the Williston Basin’s petroleum system in the North Dakota region. A detailed analysis of the source rocks in the basin will increase our knowledge about their generation potential and maturity, which could allow the identification of new prospective reservoirs. The source rocks have an average of total organic carbon content between 0.59 and 17.63%, and are type II kerogen, except for the Tyler Formation which is type III kerogen. This gives these formations a good quality status as a source rock, and potentially oil-and-gas prone source. Geochemical data (vitrinite reflectance %Ro, in this case) were used for model calibration. Results show a heat flow range between 41.91-65.14 mW/m2, with higher values toward the center of the basin in North Dakota where the sediment package thickens, and lower values toward the edges. My models predict that the end of the Upper Cretaceous is a critical period in the basin, when peak maturation and hydrocarbon generation are found for every source rock. In this same geologic time an increase in temperature is observed in the North Dakota area, as well as the maximum burial period. Subsidence curves show a slow and long tectonic subsidence period across the basin, with rapid subsidence stages during the Carboniferous in the center of the basin in North Dakota.

Download or read book The Application of Modified McKenzie Lithospheric Stretching Concept to 1D, 2D, and 3D Petroleum Systems Modelling Within the Saskatchewan Portion of the Williston Basin written by Oluseyi Olajide and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modified McKenzie's (1978) lithospheric stretching model, in combination with standard backstripped and decompacted tectonic subsidence analysis, has been used to model the geological evolution of Saskatchewan portion of the Williston Basin and to simulate and evaluate a number of Petroleum systems. A model of low strain rate extension (low stretch factor) accompanied by cooling of the underlying lithosphere satisfactorily explains the long-term subsidence history of an intracratonic basin (Allen and Armitage, 2012), and as a consequence, three key areas of modified McKenzie's model were implemented in this work. Firstly, to adopt Royden and Keen's, (1980) discontinuous depth-dependent extension model to layered rheological stratification characteristic of the lithosphere, to achieve a non-linear thermal gradient, and to address the risk of exaggerated stretching. Secondly, apply a proctracted stretching period of about 50 Ma, which facilitates a departure from instantaneous stretching, to produce subsidence at low stretch factors (syn-stretching subsidence), and subsequent prolonged post-stretching thermal subsidence when stretching ceases and the lithosphere thermally relaxes (Armitage and Allen 2010). Lastly, calculate a number of crustal and lithospheric mantle stretch factors at 37 locations within the sub-basin to facilitate 1-D modelling and introduce horizontal trends in thermal solutions. The range of modelled crustal stretch factors (1.01 - 1.10) and lithospheric mantle stretch factors (1.04 - 1.36) agree with published results. Calculated crustal thinning of 3.5 km agrees with the estimation of 3 to 4 km by Morel-A-L'Huissier et al. (1990) based upon seismic data and relates to the 3 km basement erosion prior to subsidence. This was also estimated from apatite fission track by Crowley et al. (1985). The establishment of data convergence at certain range of theoretical variables helps to calibrate simulated results to observed data, and facilitates the application of a number of modified McKenzie solutions to quantitatively fingerprint the basin-wide pattern of paleobathymetry, paleoerosion, and paleo heat-flow using data from 37 control wells. The derived basin-wide paleo-conditions from 37 control wells, each with a uniquely built 1-D burial history model, serve as inputs into a number of 2-D and subsequently 3-D simulations of source rock maturation, petroleum migration, and petroleum accumulation models. The resulting source rock maturation models suggest that Lower Paleozoic source rock units within southern Saskatchewan, (Upper Cambrian to Ordovician), attained maturity by the Late Paleozoic. In contrast, other Paleozoic source intervals (e.g. Bakken and Lodgepole Formations) did not reach maturity until the Late Cretaceous to Paleogene using standard kinetic parameters. However certain areas around salt solution collapse show narrower maturation gaps between the Upper and Lower Paleozoic source rocks. Hydrocarbon generation, migration and accumulation models indicate that the migration of generated hydrocarbon from source rock into the trap is a combination of lateral and vertical migration along the regional structural trends. The 1D, 2D and 3D basin models also identify (and replicate) existing oil/gas pools as well as 'micro-kitchens' of probable generation for stratigraphic units of the Mid to Late Paleozoic age. Volume calculations based on an invasion percolation model gives a total petroleum potential of 8,289.77 MMboe as against hybrid model which gives a total estimation of 8,316.39 MMboe within the modeled area.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the extensive field of earth sciences, with its many subdisciplines, the trans fer of knowledge is primarily established via personal communication, during meetings, by reading journal articles, or by consulting books. Because more information is available than can be assimilated, it is necessary for the individual to search selectively. Books take more time from the inception of an idea until publication than any of the other means of communication men tioned. As a consequence, their function is somewhat different. Many good books are a compilation of up to date knowledge and serve as reference or instruction manuals. Some books are a collection of previously published papers dealing with a certain topic, while others may basically provide large sets of data or examples. The Frontiers in Sedimentary Geology series was established both for stu dents and practicing earth scientists who wish to either stay abreast of the most recent ideas or developments or to become familiar with an important topic in the field of sedimentary geology. The series attempts to deal with sub jects that are in the forefront of both scientific and economic interest. The treatment of a subject in an individual volume should be a combination of topi cal, regional, and interdisciplinary approaches. Although these three terms can be defined separately, in reality they should flow into each other. A topical treatment should relate to a major category of sedimentary geology.

Download or read book Basin Analysis written by Philip A. Allen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 645 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basin Analysis is an advanced undergraduate and postgraduate text aimed at understanding sedimentary basins as geodynamic entities. The rationale of the book is that knowledge of the basic principles of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the lithosphere, the dynamics of the mantle, and the functioning of sediment routing systems provides a sound background for studying sedimentary basins, and is a pre-requisite for the exploitation of resources contained in their sedimentary rocks. The third edition incorporates new developments in the burgeoning field of basin analysis while retaining the successful structure and overall philosophy of the first two editions. The text is divided into 4 parts that establish the geodynamical environment for sedimentary basins and the physical state of the lithosphere, followed by a coverage of the mechanics of basin formation, an integrated analysis of the controls on the basin-fill and its burial and thermal history, and concludes with an application of basin analysis principles in petroleum play assessment, including a discussion of unconventional hydrocarbon plays. The text is richly supplemented by Appendices providing mathematical derivations of a wide range of processes affecting the formation of basins and their sedimentary fills. Many of these Appendices include practical exercises that give the reader hands-on experience of quantitative solutions to important basin analysis processes. Now in full colour and a larger format, this third edition is a comprehensive update and expansion of the previous editions, and represents a rigorous yet accessible guide to problem solving in this most integrative of geoscientific disciplines.

Download or read book Linking Diagenesis to Sequence Stratigraphy written by Sadoon Morad and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-11-07 with total page 897 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sequence stratigraphy is a powerful tool for the prediction of depositional porosity and permeability, but does not account for the impact of diagenesis on these reservoir parameters. Therefore, integrating diagenesis and sequence stratigraphy can provide a better way of predicting reservoir quality. This special publication consists of 19 papers (reviews and case studies) exploring different aspects of the integration of diagenesis and sequence stratigraphy in carbonate, siliciclastic, and mixed carbonate-siliciclastic successions from various geological settings. This book will be of interest to sedimentary petrologists aiming to understand the distribution of diagenesis in siliciclastic and carbonate successions, to sequence stratigraphers who can use diagenetic features to recognize and verify interpreted key stratigraphic surfaces, and to petroleum geologists who wish to develop more realistic conceptual models for the spatial and temporal distribution of reservoir quality. This book is part of the International Association of Sedimentologists (IAS) Special Publications. The Special Publications from the IAS are a set of thematic volumes edited by specialists on subjects of central interest to sedimentologists. Papers are reviewed and printed to the same high standards as those published in the journal Sedimentology and several of these volumes have become standard works of reference.

This book was released on 2009-04-13 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stratigraphers and sedimentologists who are presently describing and interpreting the infill of sedimentary basins are generally agreed that it is difficult to disentangle the signatures of tectonic processes from those of climate and eustatic sea level change in the resultant rock succession. Until better criteria are developed to distinguish between the roles played by the major variables, it is still most useful to document and interpret basin-fill architectures where we know, from independent evidence, that one of the main controls is likely to have been a major contributor. This book contains a collection of papers describing situations where the tectonic setting is fairly well established, and it can be assumed that at least the tectonic factor has contributed to the resultant signatures.

Download or read book Cratonic Basin Formation written by M. C. Daly and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2018-12-03 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cratonic basins are large, distinctive features of the continental crust. They are preferentially developed on thick continental lithosphere, are typically sub-circular in shape and subside over periods of hundreds of millions of years. They are also endowed with significant resources. However, in spite of their location in continental interiors and often well-known geology, the subsidence driving mechanism and tectonic setting of these basins remains controversial. This volume presents both lithospheric and basin scale datasets acquired specifically to interrogate the tectonic process of cratonic basin formation. Focused on the Silurian to Triassic Parnaíba cratonic basin of Brazil, the papers discuss the results of a multidisciplinary basin analysis project comprising new geophysical, geological and geochemical data. This unique dataset enables the characterization of the lithospheric crust and mantle beneath the Parnaíba Basin, constrains the detailed evolution of the basin itself, and enables comparisons with cratonic basins globally. Several convergent themes emerge providing new and powerful constraints for models of the driving mechanisms of these enigmatic basins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to techniques for quantitative subsidence analysis and visualization with example applications. Subsidence analysis is an essential step to understand basin evolution through geologic time and space in the study of sediments and sedimentary basins. Quantifying techniques have been developed and applied in many basin research projects to evaluate total, tectonic and thermal subsidence. They are also a pre-requisite for basin evolution modelling. Recent studies have applied visualization techniques to understand regional subsidence contexts and trends, which confirmed that three-dimensional visualization of the basin subsidence is highly helpful to gain insight into basin evolution. In this book, we show how geoscience and computer science can be effectively combined in advanced basin analysis, especially in terms of basin subsidence. Each type of subsidence analysis is introduced with example applications. In particular we present a study of the Vienna basin using BasinVis, a MATLAB-based program for analyzing and visualizing basin subsidence. Given its breadth of coverage, this book will benefit students in undergraduate and postgraduate courses and provide helpful information for research projects and industry applications.
