Seismic prediction of shale oil lithofacies associations based on sedimentary facies patterns: A case study of the shahejie formation in the Huanghekou Sag.

PLoS ONE
The lithofacies play a pivotal role in studying development patterns, reservoir characteristics, and sweet spot predictions of shale oil. Lithofacies classification typically relies on core observations and conventional well logging analyses, whereas ...

Systematic Approach for Carbonate and Volcanic Facies Classification Based on Textural and Structural Variations Observed in Brazilian Pre‐Salt Acoustic Image Logs

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 869-906, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Facies characterization in carbonate reservoirs remains challenging due to their pronounced textural and structural heterogeneity. Variations in grain packing, cementation, and diagenetic overprints produce contrasting acoustic responses in borehole image logs, often limiting the reproducibility of facies interpretation.

Quantification of the Eocene–Oligocene transition in the Zagros Foreland Basin: Palaeogeographic control on sequence architecture and tectonic signal preservation

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 3, June 2026.
New bio‐sequence framework for the Eocene–Oligocene transition in Zagros. Geochemical data validate basin depth control on SB1 vs. SB2 boundaries. SEM‐EDS analyses confirm subaerial exposure versus continuous deposition. Sensitivity analysis quantifies sub‐10% uncertainty in stratigraphic interpretations. Resolves the Pyrenean orogeny's variable impact

Lithofacies character and architecture across a Pennsylvanian inner-platform transect (Sierra de Cuera, Asturias, Spain)

, 2002
Seismic-scale outcrops of lower Pennsylvanian steep-margined carbonate platforms in northern Spain (Sierra de Cuera, Cantabrian Mountains) provide the opportunity to link depositional facies to platform-interior architecture.

Theoretical innovation and applications of ore-field tectonic lithofacies mapping

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Objective   In the matter of material architecture, the diagenetic-metallogenic system may be classified into lithofacies of root-feeders (metallogenic material feeders), lithofacies of structural channel (migration of diagenetic-metallogenic material ...

A Machine‐Learning Classification for Torlesse Composite Terrane Petrofacies and its Application to Sediment Provenance

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The Torlesse Composite Terrane (TCT) forms many of the mountain ranges in Aotearoa New Zealand and has provided enormous quantities of coarse‐grained sediment to Te Riu‐a‐Maui/Zealandia's basins since the mid‐Cretaceous. Tracing the provenance of these sediments to certain regions of the TCT can indirectly reconstruct exhumation patterns associated ...

New Insights Into Hikurangi Subduction Inputs and Megathrust Host Rocks Spanning Along‐Margin Changes in Fault Slip Behavior

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The seismic behavior of subduction megathrusts varies spatially and is influenced by the properties of subducting plates, including their sedimentary cover. Characterizing these subduction inputs is essential for understanding the mechanisms behind fault slip variability.

Reservoir potential of the Haymana Formation submarine-fan sandstones in the Haymana Basin of Turkey

Journal of Petroleum Exploration and Production Technology, 2019
Sedimentological and petrographic studies of the Haymana Formation sandstones identify a submarine fan in the Haymana Basin. This study is confined to outcrop samples from the submarine-fan sandstones (the L1, L2, and L3 sections) and focuses on ...

Late‐Stage Debris Flows Eroded Aeolis Mons in Gediz Vallis, Gale Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract How the ancient climate of Mars transitioned to its current cold, hyperarid state is recorded by the sedimentary rocks preserved on its surface. Gale crater, the Curiosity rover landing site, is one such location, where the central mountain, Aeolis Mons, preserves an extensive sedimentary record. Curiosity has demonstrated that the Aeolis Mons
