Seismic sedimentology response characteristics of nearshore terminal fan in the suning area of Raoyang Sag, Bohai Bay Basin, NE China

Heliyon
A nearshore terminal fan is a special water system formed in arid environments. The characterisation of its thin-channel sand bodies has long been a challenge restricting oil and gas exploration.

Rethinking microtidal systems: Tidal signatures in the fluvial deposits of the Po River, Italy

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In microtidally influenced rivers, tides are generally assumed to leave virtually no signatures in the sedimentary record. However, this hypothesis has been surprisingly poorly tested using modern river analogues, which provide an opportunity to assess whether sedimentary signatures of microtidal regimes can develop in rivers that lack ...

Coupled plagioclase dissolution and K‐feldspar overgrowth precipitation preserve anomalously high permeability in deeply buried sandstones

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the formation mechanism responsible for anomalously high permeability (AHP) observed in the Eocene sandstones at depths from 3824 to 3832 m in the Huizhou Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, China, using helium porosity and permeability measurements, thin section, scanning electron microscopy, electron probe X‐ray ...

High resolution seismology, archaeology and submerged landscapes - an interdisciplinary study

, 2000
Archaeological investigation of the shallow coastal environment has traditionally been conducted through exclusively marine or terrestrial methods, creating artificial division between sites located in the intertidal and subtidal zones.

Drowned carbonate‐rimmed margin controlling shelf‐edge delta progradation and sedimentation dynamics: Upper Cretaceous Woodbine Formation, Texas, USA

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shelf‐edge deltas are commonly interpreted to record basinward facies migration across uninterrupted, gently dipping shelf margins; however, examples from mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins reveal more complex depositional dynamics. Periods and areas of carbonate sedimentation within mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins can modify shelf ...

Towards using seismic anisotropy to interpret ductile deformation in mafic lower crust [PDF]

, 2008
The lower crust forms an important geodynamic control in continental tectonics and the communication and coupling of kinematics between surface and deep-Earth processes.

Prediction of Favorable Sand Bodies in Fan Delta Deposits of the Second Member in Baikouquan Formation, X Area of Mahu Sag, Junggar Basin

Applied Sciences
The prediction of thin-bedded, favorable sand bodies within the Triassic Baikouquan Formation fan delta on the western slope of the Mahu Sag is challenging due to their strong spatial heterogeneity. To address this, we propose an integrated workflow that

Fault‐Controlled Permeability: A Key Parameter in Geothermal Electricity Production Assessment

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geothermal energy is central to the global green energy transition, but its development has long focused on regions with positive thermal anomalies. Through a semi‐quantitative global‐scale review and spatial analysis of 361 geothermal sites, we show that 56.2% of global geothermal electricity production occurs in regions with thermal ...

Advanced Seismic Sedimentology Techniques for Characterizing Shallow-Water Fan Deltas: Reservoir Architecture and Sedimentary Evolution of the Upper Karamay Formation, Bai21 Area, NW Junggar Basin, China

Applied Sciences
Various glutenite reservoirs, developed by fans, can be found in the Junggar Basin. Among these, there are different interpretations of the glutenite reservoirs formed by shallow-water fan deltas in the Triassic system in the northwestern margin of the ...

Application of Seismic Sedimentology in Identifying Submarine Fan Bodies

Journal of Physics: Conference Series
Abstract The research area is located in the Yenisai Hatanga Basin of Russia, which is a transitional facies sedimentary rock between sea and land. Oil and gas are mostly concentrated in turbidite sand bodies of the low level domain submarine fans of Lower hutt formation in the Lower Cretaceous, and locally developed in the slope fan ...
