Quantified facies distribution and sequence geometry of the Yates Formation, Slaughter Canyon, New Mexico

Harman, Charles Averill 14 November 2011 (has links)
This study uses a new integrated outcrop data and airborne lidar from Slaughter Canyon, New Mexico, to quantitatively characterize the cycle-scale facies architecture within the G23-G26 high frequency sequences of the Yates Formation. High frequency cycle-scale mapping of these sequences shows sedimentological evidence for accommodation reduction associated with the Permain composite sequence (CS) 13 highstand (G23-G25). Development of the G26 HFS additionally demonstrates the isochronous balance of mixed carbonate-siliciclastic deposition across the Yates-Capitan reef-rimmed shelf during the initial CS-scale transgression following significant exposure and bypass of sand across the shelf. This sequence framework is quantitatively analyzed using progradation to aggradation (P/A) ratios, facies proportions, facies tract dip width, and facies tract bedding angles to evaluate the interplay of eustacy and syndepositional deformation as drivers of stratigraphic architecture. The sequences defined here developed in response to both eustacy and syndepositional deformation, but individual facies distributions and cycle stacking patterns were largely controlled by eustacy; while facies, cycle, and sequence thicknesses as well as facies bedding angles were locally influenced by syndepositional faulting. A reconstruction of each high frequency sequence and stepwise documentation of post-depositional fault displacement and HFS basinward rotation was generated using the lidar data. This analysis shows that the G23-G26 HFS developed basinward-dipping depositional topography from the shelf crest to the shelf margin reef. This geometry was largely unaltered by syndepositional faults during individual HFS deposition, but was rotated basinward shortly thereafter by younger fault movement. The accommodation trends recorded in this largely shelf crest to shelf margin window can be additionally projected into the middle shelf producing zones of the prolific Yates-aged reservoirs on the Northwest Shelf and Central Basin Platform. / text

O folhelho Lontras tem uma centena de metros na faixa aflorante norte catarinense, contendo em sua porção superior a fácies “folhelho várvico”, na verdade um estrato com gradação de siltito a folhelho (Tde) em escala milimétrica e que é considerado como sendo o turbidito distal da sucessão. O turbidito Rio Segredo tem de 15 a 25 m e consiste de estratos gradacionais portando sequência Bouma em diversas escalas: muito delgado (1 a 3 cm; Tde e Tcde), delgado (3 a 10 cm; Tcde e Tbcde), médio (10 a 30 cm; Tbcde e Tabcde), espesso (30 a 100 cm; Tabc) e muito espesso (acima de 1,0 m; Tabc). Há ainda uma divisão “superior” do Membro Rio Segredo normalmente com 10 a 20 m de espessura, que contém turbiditos areno-argilosos muito delgados (Tcde e Tde). Foram levantados sete perfis faciológicos de detalhe, escala 1:50, de modo a registrar turbiditos com até 5 cm de espessura (1 mm no perfil). Posteriormente, quatro desses perfis foram cronocorrelacionados em uma seção norte-sul: Forcação, Wiegand, Laeisz e Dona Emma, numa extensão de 28 km. A esta seção foi acrescido o perfil Taiózinho, localizado 30 km a oeste do Forcação, entre os dois últimos (semelhança faciológica com o Laeisz). Identificaram-se sete sistemas deposicionais, com uma média de 3 m de espessura por sistema e contidos em três sequências de alta frequência. Os sistemas deposicionais são formados por ciclos turbidíticos de origem marinha, encontrados principalmente nos perfis Laeisz e Taiózinho, com uma organização ascendente de adelgaçamento e granodecrescência. Outros ciclos turbidíticos... / The Lontras shale and overlying Rio Segredo sandstone are members of Campo Mourão and Taciba formations, corresponding to shelf marine and turbidite deposits; they are encased in glacial diamictites of those formations. The Lontras shale is 100 m thick in northern Santa Catarina outcrop belt and it displays a “varved shale” facies in its upper portion. In reality, it represents many mm-scale beds with Bouma sequence Tde, and therefore distal, argillaceous turbidites. The Rio Segredo Member is 15 to 25 m thick and contain beds of different thicknesses: very thin (1 to 3 cm; Tde and Tcde), thin (3 to 10 cm; Tcde and Tbcde), and medium beds (10 to 30 cm; Tbcde and Tabcde). Also, thick (30 to 100 cm) and very thick beds (thicker than 1 m) displays massive or graded sandstones with disperse laminations and cross-laminations resembling Ta, Tb and Tc intervals of Bouma sequence. There is also a Rio Segredo “upper” division with 10 to 20 m thick, consisting of very thin turbidites (Tcde and Tde). Seven detailed facies logs were constructed at 1:50 scale, to represent even 5 cm thin beds (1 mm). Later, four of the logs were put in a north-south stratigraphic section (28 km in length): Forcação, Wiegand, Laeisz and Dona Emma, in a 28 km extension. A fifth log, Taiózinho (distant 30 km west of Forcação), was added to the section between the last two logs, because of its facies similarity with Laeisz log. Seven depositional systems are identified, averaging 3 m thick in, thickness, and they belong to high frequency sequences. The systems are composed of turbidite cycles of marine origin, found mainly in Laeisz and Taiózinho logs: they form thinning- and fining-upward cycles. Turbidite cycles of deltaic origin are observed in Forcação and Dona Emma logs as thickening-up and coarsening-up cycles. In the latter, are included...

Arcabouço estratigráfico e potencial de armazenamento em arenitos permocarboníferos do Grupo Itararé na região do Alto Estrutural de Pitanga, centro-leste do Estado de São Paulo / Stratigraphic frameworrk and storage potencial in permocarboniferous sandstones of Itararé Group in the area of Pitanga Structural High, center-east of the State of São Paulo

Chahrazéd Layaun Morenghi 26 July 2007 (has links)
O aumento do uso do gás natural e a necessidade de sua estocagem em sítios subterrâneos, promoveu recentes pesquisas na Bacia do Paraná. Estas pesquisas incluiram a análise de estruturas favoráveis a formação de trapas e a avaliação do potencial de rochas-reservatórios para a estocagem subterrânea de gás natural (ESGN). Neste contexto insere-se o presente trabalho que foi desenvolvido no Alto Estrutural de Pitanga, borda leste da Bacia do Paraná. Neste Alto afloram rochas sedimentares permocarboníferas do Grupo Itararé que são amplamente reconhecidas por suas qualidades permoporosas. Com o intuito de caracterizar a faciologia, a estratigrafia bem como as qualidades petrofísicas do Grupo Itararé foram efetuados os seguintes estudos: levantamentos de seções estratigráficas de detalhe, descrição de fácies, análise microscópica, análise de microscopia eletrônica de varredura e avaliação de dados de poço. As descrições de fácies e estudos dos processos deposicionais, forneceram elementos para o agrupamento de fácies em associações de fácies e distinção de três associações de fácies: inferior, intermediária e superior. A disposição das associações de fácies permitiu o reconhecimento de uma suscessão progradacional, representada pela sobreposição de fácies de pró-delta/frente-deltaica por depósitos fluviais com contribuição glacial. A análise microscópica e caracterização petrográfica das rochas, permitiu a discriminação de quatro petrofácies: A, B, C e D. Os arenitos do Grupo Itararé na área de estudos foram classificados como: arenito feldspático, quartzo arenito, arenito lítico e wacke lítico. A microscopia eletrônica de varredura revelou a presença de caulinita, esmectita e ilita nos arenitos. A utilização de diferentes escalas de trabalho mostrou-se eficaz e elucidativa. A combinação de levantamentos de campo, análises petrográficas ao microscópio, ensaios de porosimetria a mercúrio e análises de perfis compostos permitiu realizar comparações e revelou um grupo de dados significativos para a pesquisa. / The increase in the utilization of natural gas and the need for underground gas storage has led to recent research projects on the subject focusing the Paraná Basin. These projects aim at locating favorable structures for the generation of traps and the evaluation of the reservoir potential of rock units for the storage of natural gas (ESGN). The present work is part of this effort, aiming at the study of the Pitanga Structural High, at the eastern border of the Paraná Basin. This region is characterized by outcrops of the Itararé Group (Permo-Carboniferous), which contains rock units that are known for their high porosity and permeability. The main goals of the present work are to characterize the sedimentary facies, the stratigraphy and the petrophysical properties of the Itararé Group, based on detailed stratigraphic logging, facies descriptions, microscopic petrography, Scanning Electron Microscope analysis, and evaluation of well data. Facies descriptions and interpretation of depositional processes were used to group the sedimentary facies into three facies associations: named lower, middle and upper facies associations. The stacking pattern of the facies associations led to the interpretation of a progradational succession, formed by the migration of fluvial deposits over prodelta to delta front deposits, in a context of glacial influence. The microscopic petrography characterization of rock samples led to the discrimination of four petrofacies, coded A to D. The sandstones of the Itararé Group in the studied area were classified as: feldspatic sandstones, quartz-arenites, lithicsandstones and lithic wackes. The Scanning Electron Microscope analysis revealed the presence of caulinite, smectite and ilite in the sandstones. The application of analyses at different scales of work proved to be an efficient method. The integration of field survey, microscopic petrography analysis, mercury porosimetry and interpretation of composite well logs generated a significant volume of data and enabled the comparison of the results of the different methods.

[en] SEISMIC PATTERN RECOGNITION USING TIME-FREQUENCY ANALYSES / [pt] RECONHECIMENTO DE PADRÕES SÍSMICOS UTILIZANDO ANÁLISES TEMPO-FREQÜÊNCIA

MARCILIO CASTRO DE MATOS 24 June 2004 (has links)
[pt] Independente da metodologia adotada para realizar análise de fácies sísmicas, a segmentação temporal e espacial da região do reservatório deve ser realizada cuidadosamente. A confiança no resultado da interpretação depende da complexidade do sistema geológico, da qualidade dos dados sísmicos, e da experiência do intérprete. Portanto, qualquer erro de interpretação pode levar a resultados incoerentes. Especialmente, a análise de fácies sísmicas utilizando formas de onda do sinal na região do reservatório é bastante sensível a ruídos de interpretação. Sabe-se que variações no conteúdo de freqüência dos traços sísmicos podem estar associadas às informações de refletividade da sub-superfície. Conseqüentemente, análises conjuntas em tempo - freqüência podem levar a formas não convencionais para a caracterização de reservatórios. Especificamente, esta tese propõe o uso das propriedades em tempo - freqüência, obtidas através do algoritmo de matching pursuit, e das singularidades detectadas e caracterizadas via transformada wavelet, como ferramenta para detecção de eventos sísmicos e para análise não supervisionada de fácies sísmicas quando associadas ao agrupamento dos mapas auto organizáveis de Kohonen. / [en] Independent of the adopted methodology to perform the seismic facies analysis, the geological oriented spatial and temporal segmentation of the reservoir region should be carefully done. Depending on the complexity of the reservoir system, seismic data quality, and the experience of the interpreter, the level of confidence in an interpretation can vary from very high to very low. Therefore, any interpretation error could lead to wrong or noisy results. Specially, when using seismic trace shapes, defined by the values of the seismic samples along each segmented trace, as the seismic input attributes to the chosen seismic facies algorithm. These facies analysis artifacts are introduced because seismic waveform in the reservoir delimited area changes quickly as a function of the interpretation, then waveforms with almost the same shape could be assigned to different classes due only to their different phases. It is known that variations of the frequency content of a seismic trace with time carry information about the properties of the subsurface reflectivity sequence. Consequently, seismic trace time- frequency analyses could provide an unconventional way to reservoir characterization. Specifically, in this work we propose to use the time-frequency properties of the atoms obtained after the matching pursuit signal representation and the singularities identified by wavelet transform, jointly with Self Organizing Maps as an unsupervised seismic facies analyses system.

Etude pétrographique de la partie orientale du massif des Ecrins-Pelvoux : le complexe intermédiaire - Alpes françaises

Gillot Barbieri, Colette 01 February 1970 (has links) (PDF)
Cette thèse fait partie d'un ensemble de 4 thèses réalisées en commun et consacrées à la géologie de la partie orientale du Haut Dauphiné cristallin. Elle traite de la pétrographie des gneiss et de la tectonique de la partie SE du Massif, et complète les thèses de A. Pecher, A. Barbiéri et J.C. Lacombe traitant respectivement, des gneiss et migmatites de la région Ailefroide-Pelvoux-Bans, des granites intrusifs hercyniens et des faciès moins métamorphiques du Combeynot. Ce travail aborde l'étude pétrologique des migmatites et granites d'anatexie associés ainsi que leurs faciès dans la partie orientale du massif Pelvoux-Ecrins : "complexe intermédiaire". Note d' Arnaud Pecher(2010) : Dans ce travail, fait avec les moyens et idées de l'époque, la cartographie et la description des différents ensembles semblent rester pertinentes. Certaines interprétations sont maintenant caduques ou dépassées, en particulier la signification des gneiss de l'ensemble de Peyre-Arguet (des éclogites rétromorphosées (?) et des blastomylonites à quartz en rubans), des gneiss des Bans (des orthogneiss que l'on peut rattacher aux massif de gneiss oeillés de Crupillouse), les hypothèses sur l'âge du métamorphisme et de la migmatisation, la signification des reliques trouvées ça et là de roches ultrabasiques serpentinisées, la sous estimation de la tectonique ductile post-hercynienne dans le socle,...

Stratigraphy and basin modelling of the Gemsbok Sub-Basin (Karoo Supergroup) of Botswana and Namibia

Nxumalo, Valerie 22 June 2011 (has links)
The Gemsbok Sub-basin is situated in the south-western corner of the Kalahari Karoo Basin and extends south from the Kgalagadi District of Botswana into the Northern Cape (South Africa); and west into the Aranos Basin (southeast Namibia). The Sub-basin preserves a heterogeneous succession of Upper Palaeozoic to Lower Mesozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Karoo Supergroup. Because the succession is largely covered by the Cenozoic Kalahari Group, the stratigraphy of the succession is not as well understood as the Main Karoo Basin in South Africa. Most research in the Gemsbok Sub-basin is based on borehole data. This study focuses on the intrabasinal correlation, depositional environments and provenance of the Karoo Supergroup in the Gemsbok Sub-basin in Botswana and Namibia. Based on detailed sedimentological analyses of 11 borehole cores of the Karoo Supergroup in the Gemsbok Sub-basin of Botswana and Namibia, 8 facies associations (FAs) comprising 14 lithofacies and 2 trace fossil assemblages (Cruziana and Skolithos ichnofacies) were identified. The facies associations (FA1 to FA8) correspond to the lithostratigraphic subdivisions (the Dwyka Group, Ecca Group, Beaufort equivalent Group, Lebung Group [Mosolotsane and Ntane formations] and Neu Loore Formation) of the Karoo Supergroup. Sedimentological characteristics of the identified facies associations indicate the following depositional environments: glaciomarine or glaciolacustrine (FA1, Dwyka Group), deep-water (lake or sea) (FA2, Ecca Group), prodelta (FA3, Ecca Group), delta front (FA4, Ecca Group), delta plain (FA5, Ecca Group), floodplain (probably shallow lakes) (FA6, Beaufort Group equivalent), fluvial (FA7, Mosolotsane and Neu Loore formations) and aeolian (FA8, Ntane Sandstone Formation). The Dwyka Group (FA1) forms the base of the Karoo Supergroup in the Gemsbok Subbasin and overlain by the Ecca Group deposits. Three types of deltas exist within the Ecca Group: fluvial-dominated; fluvial-wave interaction and wave-dominated deltas. The Gemsbok Sub-basin was characterised by rapid uplift and subsidence and high sediment influx during the deposition of the Ecca Group. Petrographic and geochemical analyses of the Ecca Group sandstones revealed immature arkose and subarkose type sandstones dominated by angular to subangular detrital grains, sourced from transitional continental and basement uplifted source areas. The sandstones of Ntane Sandstone Formation are classified as subarkoses and sourced from the craton interior provenances.

Estudo da fusão de rochas máficas portadoras de hornblenda na fácies granulito, exemplo do anfibolito Cafelândia, Complexo Barro Alto, GO / Hornblende bearing mafic rocks melting study, the Cafelândia amphibolite example, Barro Alto Complex, GO

Lima, Roberta Pisanelli 26 April 2011 (has links)
O anfibolito Cafelândia faz parte da Sequência Serra da Malacacheta, Complexo Barro Alto, GO. Por ser rocha com bandamento composicional bem definido, o anfibolito tem sido interpretado como produto de metamorfismo de gabro acamadado. Entretando, uma das feições que esse bandamento composicional apresenta é a presença de veios de leucossoma paralelos à foliação da rocha. O contato transicional entre o anfibolito e alguns dos veios de leucossoma indicam que os veios foram formados por fusão in situ. O objetivo do presente trabalho é investigar o processo de fusão que afetou a rocha, utilizando descrições macroscópicas, microscópicas e análises químicas de minerais em diversos contextos texturais. O bandamento composicional é definido pela variação na proporção modal de hornblenda, plagioclásio, titanita, clinopiroxênio, granada e quartzo. Veios de leucossoma com porfiroblastos de hornblenda, concordantes ou discordantes da foliação são observados reforçando o bandamento. No topo estrutural do anfibolito ocorrem camadas com mais de 70% de hornblenda e outras dominadas por clinopiroxênio e granada. Ortopiroxênio é raro e não é possível ter certeza se os grãos presentes são reliquiares do protolito ígneo ou se são metamórficos. As camadas ricas em granada e clinopiroxênio não ultrapassam espessuras maiores que 5 a 10 cm. Na porção basal do anfibolito a proporção de hornblenda é menor e a proporção de clinopiroxênio e granada maior, ocorrendo ortopiroxênio em alguns afloramentos. Os porfiroblastos de hornblenda do leucossoma são substituídos por clinopiroxênio e rara granada. Diferenças sutis nas composições dos grãos de hornblenda e clinopiroxênio do anfibolito Cafelândia e do leucossoma ocorrem, mas são mascaradas pela influência da composição da banda na composição dos minerais. De modo geral, a hornblenda no leucossoma é mais rica em Si e Mg do que os grãos da matriz, enquanto o clinopiroxênio do leucossoma é mais rico em Al. Micro-exsoluções no clinopiroxênio do leucossoma também impedem a comparação da sua composição real com os grãos da matriz da rocha. Cálculos termobarométricos foram feitos em amostras do topo e da base estrutural do anfibolito utilizando o termômetro granada-clinopiroxênio e o barômetro granada-clinopiroxênio-plagioclásio-quartzo, além do programa THERMOCALC. A termobarometria convencional fornece valores P-T menores para temperatura e similares de pressão aqueles calculados com o THERMOCALC e não são muito diferentes dos que já foram calculados previamente, com valores para o topo de 870 ºC e 10,9 kbar e para a base de 881 ºC e 9,8 kbar. Se quartzo não é usado nos cálculos P-T, acréscimo de 2 a 3 kbar ocorre nos resultados. Os dados P-T calculados são compatíveis ou algo inferiores aos resultados experimentais de fusão de rochas máficas contendo hornblenda, produção de líquido tonalítico e resíduo contendo clinopiroxênio e granada. A presença de hornblenda dentro do leucossoma do topo da unidade pode estar associada com influxo de H2O no sistema durante a fusão, diferente do que ocorre na base do corpo. É possível que o líquido que se encontrava na porção basal esvai em direção as porções superiores do anfibolito, reidratando a rocha e formando porfiroblastos de hornblenda dentro do leucossoma do topo. Uma conclusão importante tirada aqui é que o protolito do anfibolito Cafelândia pode ser o anfibolito da base da sequência Juscelândia, sobreposta, e que o bandamento composicional foi gerado por metamorfismo, fusão e segregação/perda do liquido e não por metamorfismo de gabro acamadado. / The Cafelândia amphibolite is part of the Serra da Malacacheta sequence, Barro Alto Complex, GO. As it is a rock with well-defined compositional banding, the amphibolite has been interpreted as a product of metamorphism of layered gabbro. However, a feature that reinforces the banding is the presence of leucosome veins, which are mainly parallel to the rock foliation. The transitional contact between amphibolite and some of the veins of leucosome indicate that the veins were formed by in situ melting. The purpose of this study is to investigate the melting process that affected the rock using macroscopic and microscopic descriptions, as well as chemical analysis of minerals in various textural contexts. The compositional banding is defined by variation in modal proportion of hornblende, plagioclase, titanite, clinopyroxene, garnet and quartz. Veins of leucosome with porphyroblasts of hornblende, concordant or discordant to foliation are observed, reinforcing the banding. At the structural top, layers of amphibolite occur with more than 70% of hornblende and others are dominated by clinopyroxene and garnet. Orthopyroxene is rare and its metamorphic origin cannot be assured, being possible that these grains are relicts of the igneous protolith. The garnet and clinopyroxene rich layers do not exceeding thicknesses greater than 5 to 10 cm. In the basal portion hornblende proportion is much smaller, but clinopyroxene and garnet are larger. Orthopyroxene occurs in some outcrops. The porphyroblasts of hornblende from the leucosome are replaced by clinopyroxene and rare garnet. Subtle differences in the composition of the of hornblende and clinopyroxene grains in the Cafelândia amphibolite and leucosome occur, but are masked by the influence of the bulk composition of each band in the composition of minerals. In general, the hornblende in the leucosome is richer in Si and Mg than the matrix grains, whereas the leucosome clinopyroxene is richer in Al. Micro-exsolutions in clinopyroxene in the leucosome also hampers the comparison of its \"real\" composition with the grains of the rock matrix. Thermobarometric calculations were done on samples from the structural top and bottom of amphibolite, using the garnet-clinopyroxene thermometer and garnetclinopyroxene- plagioclase-quartz barometer, besides the THERMOCALC. The conventional thermobarometry provides lower P-T values for temperature and similar pressure to those calculated with the THERMOCALC, and results are not very different from those that have been previously calculated. Results for the top are 870 ºC and 10.9 kbar and for the basis 881 ºC and 9.8 kbar. If quartz is not used in the P-T calculations, raise of 2 to 3 kbar occurs in the results. The calculated P-T data are compatible or something lower than the results of experiments for melting of hornblende-bearing mafic rocks with production tonalitic liquid and clinopyroxene and garnet residue. The hornblende-bearing leucosome of the top of the unit may be associated with influx of H2O in the system during melting, unlike what occurs at the base of the body. It is also possible that the liquid formed in basal portion oozes toward the upper portions of amphibolite, rehydrating it to form the hornblende porphyroblasts within the leucosome. An important conclusion drawn here is that the protolith of amphibolite Cafelândia can be bottom amphibolite of the Juscelândia sequence, which overly the Cafelândia amphibolite, and that the banding was generated by metamorphism, melting and segregation / loss of melt and not by metamorphism of layered gabbro.
