Turbidite Giants - Lessons from the World's 40 Largest Turbidite Discoveries
Proceedings, 1998What are the ingredients that make a giant turbidite field? This question is important as industry focuses on global deep water plays, because, although turbidites are not the only reservoir type of deep water plays, they are the primary reservoir type in deep water. This has been recently reinforced by deep water drilling in Brazil, the Gulf of Mexico,

Turbidite Channel Architecture
2010Field and simulation studies indicate that channel architecture and the presence of channel-base drapes (CBDs) can have a significant impact on oil recovery and represent key uncertainties in the understanding of a turbidite channel reservoir. Accordingly, understanding the frequency and distribution of CBDs provides valuable insights into reservoir ...

1982
Turbidite sand bodies comprise part of a broad spectrum of sediments deposited by subaqueous gravity processes in deep-water marine environments. These processes are diverse in type (Figure 6.1), but all constitute part of a continuum. This continuum was classified formally by Middleton and Hampton (1973), who recognized four classes ranging from ...

Ferrelo Turbidite System, California
1985Remnants of an Eocene fan system are preserved onshore at San Diego and in the central part of the southern California borderland. Even though faults and erosion have truncated its margins, geophysical data and exploratory wells indicate that remaining parts of the fan extend beneath an offshore area nearly 400-km long and 40- to 100-km wide ...

So-called turbidite structures
Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1968The term 9turbidite structures9 recently used by Sen (1967) is better avoided, because only a combination of features together with the absence of others can be diagnostic. The distinctions in meaning between the terms 9turbidites9 and 9fluviatile deposits9 should not be confused.

Cengio Turbidite System, Italy
1985The Cengio sandstone member of the Tertiary Piedmont Basin in northwestern Italy has a conservatively estimated volume of 2.5 to 3 km3 (length: 6.4 km; width: 4.8 km; thickness: 170 m). It is interpreted as a sandstonerich submarine fan deposit. The Cengio member consists of eight tabular depositional sandstone lobes that are 5- to 25-m thick.

Turbidite correlation for paleoseismology
Geological Society of America BulletinAbstract Marine turbidite paleoseismology relies on the assumption of synchronous triggering of turbidity currents by earthquake shaking to infer rupture extent and recurrence. Such inference commonly depends on age dating and correlation of the physical stratigraphy of deposits carried by turbidity currents (i.e., turbidites) across ...

Scaling in Turbidite Deposition
SEPM Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1994ABSTRACT We propose that the distribution of layer thicknesses of turbidite deposits that show minimal erosional truncation and amalgamation should obey the power law N(h) h-B, where N(h) is the number of layers of thickness greater than h and B 1. We support this proposal with two sets of observations, one from formation-microscanner images obtained ...
