Clastic facies models and facies analysis
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1985Summary The term facies is used either descriptively, for a certain volume of sediment, or interpretatively for the inferred depositional environment of that sediment. Facies models are intellectual aids to the understanding of sedimentary environments and the origin of ancient sedimentary rocks.

Facies Diagnosis and Facies Models
1982Microfacies types document differences in the kind of and significance of sedimentological (affecting sediment) and biological (affecting organisms) environmental factors. Although during the genesis of facies units there is an interplay of several factors, some environmental factors — especially in marine areas — seem to be of major importance.

Upscaling facies models to preserve connectivity of designated facies
Hydrogeology Journal, 2010An upscaling algorithm has been developed that generates an irregular coarse grid that preserves flow connectivity by applying a rule-based upscaling algorithm to a fine-scale facies distribution. The algorithm is demonstrated using stochastically generated paleo-fluvial facies distributions.

Seismic characterization of fault facies models
Interpretation, 2017Faults play a key role in reservoirs by enhancing or restricting fluid flow. A fault zone can be divided into a fault core that accommodates most of the displacement and a surrounding damage zone. Interpretation of seismic data is a key method for studying subsurface features, but the internal structure and properties of fault zones are often at the ...

Chapter 13 Contourite Facies and the Facies Model
2008Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the historical context and describes the different contourite facies recognized. The contourite facies models are outlined and the interpretation of contourite sequences is discussed. Some hybrid contourite facies are considered and criteria for the distinction between contourites and associated facies in deep ...

Shallow-marine carbonate facies and facies models
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1985Summary Shallow-marine carbonate sediments occur in three settings: platforms, shelves and ramps. The facies patterns and sequences in these settings are distinctive. However, one type of setting can develop into another through sedimentational or tectonic processes and, in the geologic record, intermediate cases are common.

Abstract Conference of the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists) and in Dallas in 2004 (Annual Conference of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists). These sessions, entitled Facies Models Revisited, were intended to capture the state of the art with respect to facies modeling in several key depositional environments.

Hemipelagites: processes, facies and model
Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1998Abstract Detailed sedimentological studies have been carried out on Pleistocene to Recent sediments from the Makran margin and on Miocene to Recent sediments from the Oman margin of the NW Indian Ocean. In both area, hemipelagites make up c. 50% of the succession, being closely interbedded with turbidites (

Siliciclastic Aquifers Facies Models
2016Siliciclastic aquifers are composed of sediment and rock that are dominated by silicate minerals, particularly quartz, feldspar, and clays. Siliciclastic aquifer properties are controlled by the grain size, sorting, and diagenesis of the sediments. Well-sorted sand and gravel facies deposited by flowing water and air tend to have the highest hydraulic ...

Facies-Based Saturation Modeling—Bonga Field
Nigeria Annual International Conference and Exhibition, 2011Abstract The initial Bonga field development was based on a "green field" integrated saturation model using Gulf of Mexico (GoM) data as analogue. In an earlier revision of the Field Development Plan, the relative permeability and capillary pressure models were based on steady-state and centrifuge special core analysis (SCAL) experiments
