“…The resulting depositional pattern is characterised by pelagic sediments interbedded with turbidites (e.g. Bouma, 1962;2000;Stow and Shanmugam, 1980;Bouma et al, 1985). Various types of turbidite deposition during the Pleistocene and Holocene can be observed along the NW African continental margin (e.g.…”

“…Direct downslope gradient (perpendicular to the ice margin) would have resulted in canyon entrenchment, typical for the upper fan (Bouma, 2000). In contrast sediment transport was oriented parallel to the shelf morphology, resulting in a shallower thalweg gradient enabling the upward growing channel-levee complexes.…”

“…Structural elements (i.e. sedimentary subenvironments) have been emphasized for decades in the major regional-scale models, according to the works of Normark [3], Mutti and Ricci Lucchi [4], Mutti [5], Reading and Richards [6], Bouma [7] etc. By revealing these, potential hydrocarbon stratigraphy traps of these systems can be understood more efficiently.…”

Markov chains and entropy tests in genetic-based lithofacies analysis of deep-water clastic depositional systems

Abstract:The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between structural elements and the so-called genetic lithofacies in a clastic deep-water depositional system. Process-sedimentology has recently been gaining importance in the characterization of these systems. This way the recognized facies attributes can be associated with the depositional processes establishing the genetic lithofacies. In this paper this approach was presented through a case study of a Tertiary deep-water sequence of the Pannonian-basin. Of course it was necessary to interpret the stratigraphy of the sequences in terms of "general" sedimentology, focusing on the structural elements. For this purpose, well-logs and standard deep-water models were applied. The cyclicity of sedimentary sequences can be easily revealed by using Markov chains. Though Markov chain analysis has broad application in mainly fluvial depositional environments, its utilization is uncommon in deepwater systems. In this context genetic lithofacies was determined and analysed by embedded Markov chains. The randomness in the presence of a lithofacies within a cycle was estimated by entropy tests (entropy after depositional, before depositional, for the whole system). Subsequently the relationships between lithofacies were revealed and a depositional model (i.e. modal cycle) was produced with 90% confidence level of stationarity. The non-randomness of the latter was tested by chi-square test. The consequences coming from the comparison of "general" sequences (composed of architectural elements), the genetic-based sequences (showing the distributions of the genetic lithofacies) and the lithofacies relationships were discussed in details. This way main depositional channel has the best, channelized lobes have good potential hySzabolcs Borka: University of Szeged, Department of Geology and Paleontology 6722, Szeged, Egyetem utca 2-6., Hungary; Email: borka.szabolcs@gmail.com drocarbon reservoir attributes, with symmetric alternation of persistent fine-grained sandstone (Facies D) and muddy fine-grained sandstone with traction structures (Facies F).
