Turbidite channel architecture: Recognizing and quantifying the distribution of channel-base drapes using core and dipmeter data

Field 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 unde…

Architecture of a Deep-water Levee Avulsion, Silla Ojo Mesa, Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, Chile

Extensive outcrops of coarse-grained channel to fine-grained levee deposits of the Campanian Cerro Torro Formation are present throughout the Torres del Paine National Park in southern chile (Figure 1…

Turbidite bed thickness distributions: methods and pitfalls of analysis and modelling

This paper presents statistical methods for analyzing turbidite bed thickness distributions, comparing power law and lognormal mixture models.

Migration–aggradation history and 3-D seismic geomorphology of submarine channels in the Pleistocene Benin-major Canyon, western Niger Delta slope

Several laterally offset and aggradational sinuous submarine channels are contained within a 54 km long segment of the Benin-major Canyon. Axial channel deposits produce high amplitude reflections on …

Textural trends in turbidites and slurry beds from the Oligocene flysch of the East Carpathians, Romania

Deep‐water sandstone beds of the Oligocene Fusaru Sandstone and Lower Dysodilic Shale, exposed in the Buzău Valley area of the East Carpathian flysch belt, Romania, can be described in terms of the st…
