Submarine canyon systems focusing sub-surface fluid in the Canterbury Basin, South Island, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
This work uses a high-quality 3D seismic volume from offshore Canterbury Basin, New Zealand, to investigate how submarine canyon systems can focus sub-surface fluid.

Facies Analysis and Sedimentary Architecture of Hybrid Event Beds in Submarine Lobes: Insights from the Crocker Fan, NW Borneo, Malaysia

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Hybrid event beds represent the combined effect of multiple geological processes, which result in complex depositional geometries and distinct facies distribution in marine environments.

Submarine crevasse lobes controlled by lateral slope failure in tectonically-active settings: an exhumed example from the Eocene Aínsa depocentre (Spain)

open access: yesSedimentologika, 2023
Tectonic deformation and associated submarine slope failures modify seafloor relief, influencing sediment dispersal patterns and the resulting depositional architecture of deep-water systems.

Effects of Depositional Processes in Submarine Canyons and Distribution of Gas Chimneys on Gas Hydrate Accumulation in the Shenhu Sea Area, Northern South China Sea

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Previous gas hydrate production tests conducted by the Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey (GSGM) in 2017 and 2020 indicated the great potential of gas hydrates in the Shenhu Sea area in the Pearl River Mouth Basin (PRMB), China.

Proximal to distal grain‐size distribution of basin‐floor lobes: A study from the Battfjellet Formation, Central Tertiary Basin, Svalbard

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, 2022
The grain‐size distribution of sediment particles is an important aspect of the architecture of submarine fans and lobes. It governs depositional sand quality and reflects distribution of particulate organic carbon and pollutants.

Submarine Channel Mouth Settings: Processes, Geomorphology, and Deposits

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Observations from the modern seafloor that suggest turbidity currents tend to erode as they lose channel-levee confinement, rather than decelerating and depositing their sediment load, has driven investigations into sediment gravity flow behaviour at the

Research on the architecture of submarine-fan lobes in the Niger Delta Basin, offshore West Africa

open access: yesJournal of Palaeogeography, 2016
As one of the most important reservoirs in submarine fan, submarine lobes are hot fields for the deep-water oil–gas exploration in the world. Although a large amount of researches have been carried out on the architecture model of submarine lobes ...

Frontal and Lateral Submarine Lobe Fringes: Comparing Sedimentary Facies, Architecture and Flow Processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Submarine lobe fringe deposits form heterolithic successions that may include a high proportion of hybrid beds. The identification of lobe fringe successions aids interpretation of paleogeographic setting and the degree of basin confinement.

Characterization of Deep-Water Submarine Fan Reservoir Architecture: AB120 Reservoir in the Campos Basin

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The exploration of deep-water submarine fan reservoirs has become a prominent research area for hydrocarbon discovery and recovery. However, the high operational costs render efficient exploration of this type of reservoir crucial, and the pivotal ...

The Origin and 3D Architecture of a Km-Scale Deep-Water Scour-Fill: Example From the Skoorsteenberg Fm, Karoo Basin, South Africa

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Scours, and scour fields, are common features on the modern seafloor of deep-marine systems, particularly downstream of submarine channels, and in channel-lobe-transition-zones.
