Abstract
With the increased emphasis on deepwater exploration and development globally, considerable work has been done to understand turbidite systems. These are defined as sediments initially deposited in deep water, and which may now occur in the deeper parts of sedimentary basins (sometimes in great water depths). These deposits have been studied in terms of the lithofacies distribution, reservoir architecture, 2-D and 3-D seismic appearance, and their production capabilities. There are considerable stratigraphic variabilities in turbidite systems that affect reservoir performance and development plans. The petroleum industry’s increased understanding of these variabilities and their effects has occurred through the integration of a number of disciplines: 2-D and 3-D seismic, wireline logs, biostratigraphy, cores, petrophysics and rock properties, reservoir simulation, and outcrop studies for building semiquantitative reservoir models.
