“…For decades, numerous networks of sand injectites in sedimentary basins worldwide have either been interpreted from seismic data (Timbrell, 1993;MacLeod et al, 1999;Lonergan et al, 2000;Molyneux et al, 2002;Huuse and Mickelson, 2004;Huuse et al, , 2007De Boer et al, 2007;Jackson, 2007Jackson, , 2011Szarawarska et al, 2010) or directly observed in the field (Truswell, 1972;Hiscott, 1979;Surlyk et NoeeNygaard, 2001;Fri es and Parize, 2003;Hubbard et al, 2007;V etel and Cartwright, 2009;Kane, 2010). Because the emplacement of clastic sills and dykes depends on many parameters such as the nature of fluids, the host rock properties, the nature of sand from the source, the depth of the sand source, and the process of injection, each sand injectite network is considered as unique in terms of its dimensions, the geometry of the network, and the distribution, density and orientation of injected sands.…”

Sand injectites network as a marker of the palaeoestress field, the structural framework and the distance to the sand source: Example in the Vocontian Basin, SE France a b s t r a c t A large sand injectite network is very well exposed in the area of Bevons, Southeast France. The associated sandstone turbiditic channelefill and the host marls are the AptianeAlbian rocks of the Vocontian Basin. The sand injection network is composed of dykes, sills and sedimentary laccoliths ranging in thickness from mm to pluriem. The dykes and sills have vertical and horizontal lengths of up to and over 100 m and 1 km, respectively. Outcrop observations show that the architecture and morphology of the sand injectites in the marls is governed by the local stress field during injection, preeexisting faults, the hosterock lithology, compaction, and distance to the potential sand source(s). The main set of dykes is oriented N50e60 perpendicular to the minimum compressive stress s 3 during sand injection. Two other sets of dykes are intruded along preeexisting synesedimentary faults oriented N140e150 (set 2) and N90 (set 3) during the AptoeCenomanian interval. Sills and dykes thin laterally away from their potential sand sources and thin laterally away from them. The vertical thickness variations of the dykes and wings are more complex, as thinning away from the sand sources is often compensated by thickening toward the palaeoesurface. Based on field observations and measurements, we characterized the 3D architecture of the sand injectites and showed that the injectites probably formed due to a forceful injection from an overpressured sand body sealed by lowepermeability lithologies.

Borehole evidence for wing-like clastic intrusion complexes on the western Norwegian margin

Data from a borehole on the Norwegian margin indicate that a strata-concordant amplitude anomaly within the Upper Cretaceous succession represents a 15 m thick sandbody that was either intruded in the subsurface or extruded on the palaeo-seabed. This observation implies that spatially related, strata-discordant anomalies are the seismic expression of sandstone dykes, thereby supporting previous geometry-based interpretations of the origin of these amplitude anomalies. Furthermore, this study indicates that thickness of an intrusion may be overestimated if based solely on seismic reflection mapping, and that this may lead to erroneous calculation of the ratio between depositional and intruded sandstone.
