  • Traps associated with paleovalleys and interfluves in an unconformity bounded sequence; Lower Cretaceous Glauconitic Member, southern Alberta, Canada
    AAPG Bulletin, 1992
    Co-Authors: James M. Wood, John C. Hopkins
    Abstract:

    The Glauconitic member in Badger, Little Bow, Retlaw, and Turin fields is an unconformity bounded sequence that formed on an ancient coastal plain in response to relative sea level fluctuations. The member consists of valley-fill and inter-valley strata. Valley-fill Sandstone bodies are thick elongate pods that formed from inner estuarine bars when sedimentation was laterally confined between valley margins. Inter-valley Sandstone bodies are thin discontinuous sheets that accumulated during highstands when outer estuarine embayments covered interfluvial areas adjacent to associated valleys. Numerous oil pools are stratigraphically trapped within quartzose Sandstones in valley-fill and inter-valley strata of the Glauconitic member in the study area. Common updip seals for these reservoirs are (1) intra-sequence facies changes from Sandstone to shale, and (2) low-permeability Lithic Sandstones that fill the cross-cutting paleovalleys of a younger sequence. Traps associated with many valley-fill pools are enhanced by differential-compaction anticlines. Several oil pools in the study area are hosted by discrete quartzose Sandstone bodies that lie beneath a valley filled with low-permeability Lithic Sandstone. These quartzose Sandstone bodies are interpreted to be remnants of older Glauconitic deposits that escaped erosion when a younger valley incised into, and followed the trend of, one or more older Glauconitic valleys.

  • Provenance of early Palaeozoic Sandstones, southeastern Australia, Part 2: Cratonic to arc switching
    Sedimentary Geology, 1999
    Co-Authors: G. P. Colquhoun, Chris L. Fergusson, Sok Cin Tye
    Abstract:

    Early Palaeozoic strata of the northeastern Lachlan Fold Belt, Australia, consist of an Early Ordovician sequence (Adaminaby Group) of quartz-rich turbidites and chert, and the conformably overlying Late Ordovician-?Early Silurian Coomber Formation, a mafic volcaniclastic sequence of Lithic Sandstone and mudstone with mafic volcanic and intrusive rocks. Analysis of detrital modes from the Adaminaby Group indicate a uniform quartzose petrofacies (Q91F2L7) composed of deep-water quartz and subLithic Sandstones derived from the west. By contrast, the Lithic Sandstone of the Coomber Formation represents a volcanoLithic petrofacies (Q1F34L65) of mainly intermediate volcanic detritus with a tendency to become more silicic up-section. These Sandstones are considered to be derived from a calc-alkaline andesitic-basaltic volcanic centre in the eastern Lachlan Fold Belt. The change from a quartz-rich petrofacies to a volcanoLithic petrofacies was sharp with no evidence of mixing. This change primarily reflects a rapid outpouring of mafic volcanic material in the Late Ordovician, together with an approximately concurrent eustatic rise in sea level.

  • Membrane seal and tertiary migration pathways in the Bodalla South oilfield, Eromanga Basin, Australia
    Marine and Petroleum Geology, 1993
    Co-Authors: P.j. Boult
    Abstract:

    Abstract The Middle Jurassic Hutton Sandstone oil accumulation at the Bodalla South oilfield in the Eromanga Basin, Australia is primarily a structural trap with stratigraphic control. In common with many others in this basin it does not appear to be full to the structural spill point. Analysis of mercury injection curves has revealed that the caprock of the Hutton Sandstone (i.e. the Birkhead Formation, which is predominantly a Lithic Sandstone) is a membrane type seal. The calculated maximum size of oil column that will accumulate beneath this caprock is 12.64 m and the maximum oil column encountered to date is 11.25 m. There is no waste zone above the Hutton Sandstone reservoir at Bodalla South.
