Abstract Lithofacies prediction can facilitate the search for hydrocarbon reservoirs and is, therefore, crucial seismic exploration. We proposed a new approach lithofacies based on stochastic simulation of pseudo-wells. First, we performed pseudo-well using continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC), which accurately describe geological deposition be created logging, core or data. used CTMC to randoml...

1- Introduction The sediment cores BAG, AZD and AM in the Babolsar, Jouybar and Zaghmarz areas are located at the southern Iranian part of the coastal plain of the Caspian Sea. These areas are contained by major mountain ridge, the Alborz in the south (Central Alborz Structural Zone). The Alborz Mountain represent the main source of terrigenous materials in the South basin of the Caspian Sea. ...

This study aimed to find the depositional environment and formation conditions of gypsum-dominated Miocene succession alternated intercalated with clastics carbonates in southwestern part Erzincan Basin. As a result sedimentological, mineralogical-petrographic investigations, it was determined that gypsum this sequence formed as primary secondary. Primary lithofacies; nodular anhydrite, selenit...

Physical properties of sediments are commonly used to define subsurface lithofacies and these same physical properties influence subsurface microbial communities. This suggests an (unexploited) opportunity to use the spatial distribution of facies to predict spatial variation in biogeochemically relevant microbial attributes. Here, we characterize three biogeochemical facies-oxidized, reduced, ...

This paper presents a probabilistic unsupervised neural method in order to construct the lithofacies of the wells HM2 and HM3 situated in the south of Algeria (Sahara). Our objective is to facilitate the experts' work in geological domain and to allow them to obtain the structure and the nature of lands around the drilling quickly. For this, we propose the use of the Self-Organized Map (SOM) of...

The Benin Formation is well exposed along the Atamiri River, which traverses Uli town, in the Niger Delta Basin of Southeastern Nigeria. Lithologic sections were measured, described and sampled so as to decipher the paleodepositional environment, using an integration of lithofacies data, pebble morphology, grain size and paleocurrent analysis. The lithofacies study suggests that the Benin Forma...

Vertical changes in distribution, abundance, and ichnodiversity of ichnocoenoses in alluvial deposits of the Willwood Formation suggest significantly drier moisture regimes in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, during the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a transient period of global warming. The Willwood Formation at Polecat Bench contains an abundant assemblage of ichnofossils, including vari...

Abstract The West Flood Canal River is one of the major rivers that flows central Semarang Bay. west flood canal river located in middle a densely populated residential and used as city drainage Semarang. Unfortunately, upper part has been swallowed up. This unique sedimentation dynamics, so it becomes suitable research object to determine relationship between processes concentration trace elem...
