Stacking patterns and architecture of fluvial deposits in a reservoir analogue perspective: examples, concepts and methodology

摘要

The thesis deals with the genesis, stacking patterns, sequential architecture and potential reservoir heterogeneities of fluvial sandstone bodies from various settings. The thesis consists of a collection of papers covering themes as follow: Methods for outcrop data collection for use in reservoir analogue studies - status and development trends; photogrammetric mapping of distributary channel sandbodies in the Atane Formation at Pautuut, Nuugssuaq, central West Greenland; reservoir analogue studies using multi-model photogrammetry - a new tool for the petroleum industry; large fluvial systems - the Atane Formation, a fluviodeltaic example from the Upper Cretaceous of central West Greenland; fluvial and fluvio-lacustrine facies and depositional environments of the Maastrichtian to Paleocene North Horn Formation, Price Canyon, Utah; determining the channel sinuosity of ancient fluvial systems from paleocurrent data; sequential architecture in a fluvial succession - sequence stratigraphy in the Upper Cretaceous Mesaverde Group, Price, Utah; sequence stratigraphy, alluvial architecture and potential reservoir heterogeneities of fluvial deposits - evidence from outcrop studies in Price Canyon, Utah (Upper Cretaceous and Lower Tertiary); stacking patterns and architecture of fluvial deposits in a reservoir analogue perspective - examples, concepts and methology. 301 refs., 62 figs., 2 tabs.
