Book Description
This workshop will examine cores from five wells (Wainwright 1, Square Lake Test Well 1, Wolf Creek Test Well 3, Umiat 18, and Fish Creek Test Well 1) representing a range of depositional settings in the Nanushuk Formation, from marine-influenced lower delta plain to outer shelf. A range of lower delta plain facies associations, including bayfill, distributary channel-fills, and crevasse deltas are featured in cores from Wainwright 1, Square Lake Test Well 1, and Wolf Creek Test Well 3. Storm wave-modified shoreface and delta-front facies associations comprise significant parts of the successions cored in the Square Lake and Wolf Creek wells and demonstrate that significant stretches of the Nanushuk coastline were subjected to powerful storm waves. The cored succession in Umiat 18 is comprised of prodelta and river-dominated delta-front facies associations. Heavily oil-stained outer shelf facies associations comprise the cored interval in Fish Creek Test Well 1. This workshop highlights facies associations likely to have the best reservoir potential and examines the relative importance of depositional setting, sandstone composition, grain size, and mechanical compaction on reservoir quality (porosity and permeability).

Petroleum Source Rocks
Author: Barry J. Katz
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642789110
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Over the past two decades there has been increased interest in the availability of hydrocarbon charge through a better understanding of petroleum geochemistry and the identification and characterization of petroleum source rocks. These rocks are geochemically unique and form under specific sets of circumstances. This book brings together both geologic and geochemical data from fifteen petroleum source rocks, ranging in age from Devonian to Eocene, that would otherwise be widely dispersed in the literature or available only in proprietary corporate databases. Much of this information, presented in either a tabular or graphic fashion, provides the petroleum explorationist and the geochemist with a framework to establish relationships among various geochemical indices and depositional settings.

The Sedimentary Basins of the United States and Canada
Author: Andrew Miall
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0444638962
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 823
Book Description
The Sedimentary Basins of the United States and Canada, Second Edition, focuses on the large, regional, sedimentary accumulations in Canada and the United States. Each chapter provides a succinct summary of the tectonic setting and structural and paleogeographic evolution of the basin it covers, with details on structure and stratigraphy. The book features four new chapters that cover the sedimentary basins of Alaska and the Canadian Arctic. In addition to sedimentary geologists, this updated reference is relevant for basin analysis, regional geology, stratigraphy, and for those working in the hydrocarbon exploration industry. Features updates to existing chapters, along with new chapters on sedimentary basins in Alaska and Arctic Canada Includes nearly 300 detailed, full-color paleogeographic maps Written for general geological audiences and individuals working in the resources sector, particularly those in the fossil fuel industry
