Reservoir Potential in Contourites: Evidence of Coarse-grained Contourite Facies in the Mozambique Margin

Proceedings, 2018
Summary Although contourites and mixed turbidite/contourite depositional systems are significant to the oil industry, they are still relatively poorly known by this sector, and there is no present-day accepted sedimentological model for sandy contourites.

Ichnofabric analysis as a tool for characterization and differentiation between calcareous contourites and calciturbidites

Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2021
The Eocene–Miocene Cyprus paleoslope system records complex deep-marine sedimentation comprising background vertical settling of autochthonous pelagic–hemipelagic particles (chalks) which were punctuated by calcareous bottom currents (contourites) and ...

Contourites and bottom current reworked sands: Bed facies model and implications

Marine Geology, 2020
The differentiation of pure turbidites and contourites from mixed deposits —as the bottom current reworked sands (BCRS) — in sedimentary cores and outcrops from the modern or ancient records is still challenging.

North Atlantic contourite sand channels

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2007
Abstract Two sand-rich channelized depositional systems, formed by strong contour currents, were studied west of the Faeroe Bank Channel and in the Gulf of Cadiz. Both are areas beyond the exit of constrictions where water overflows from the Norwegian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, respectively.

Contourite facies model: Improving contourite characterization based on the ichnological analysis

Sedimentary Geology, 2019
Abstract The calcareous contourites from the Late Oligocene and Early Miocene in the Petra Tou Romiou type section (southern Cyprus) have been studied in detail, being regarded as outstanding examples of fossil bioclastic contourites and representative of the standard facies model of contourite bigradational sequence. These bigradational sequences of

Benthic foraminifera as tools to distinguish contourites and turbidites

, 2021
Contourites occur where along-slope bottom currents induce large accumulations of sediments in the deep sea (Faugères and Stow, 2008). Distinguishing among contourites and other depositional facies on continental slopes is fundamental for ...
