Marine Clastic Reservoirs: Examples and Analogues (Frontiers in Sedimentary Geology)

Marine Clastic reservoirs provides an integrated perspective to sandstone reservoir description and analysis. It combines analog-oriented methods from sequence stratigraphy with rigorous stratigraphic and sedimentological description of cores and outcrops to develop a process-based analysis of sandstone facies. Twelve chapters, divided into 3 sections, first describe the specific use of sequence stratigraphy to catalog, identify, and predict marine clastic reservoir facies. Next they examine the importance of rigorous sedimentological and geomorphic description. Finally, marine depositional environments from delta systems to deep-sea fans are reviewed to give examples of these improved descriptive and analytical techniques
