A New Approach to Sediment Diagenesis: Part I: An Observed Relationship between Sonic Previous HitTransitNext Hit-Time and Depth in the Tertiary Sediments of the Mackenzie Delta; A Potential Petroleum Exploration Tool.

J. N. Van Elsberg

ABSTRACT

Sonic Previous HittransitNext Hit-time/depth relationships in the Tertiary mudstones and shales of the Mackenzie Delta, Canada show a characteristic pattern. From statistical data it appears that there is a good correlation between the frequency distribution of pooled hydrocarbons and the sonic Previous HittransitTop-time/depth relationships in the mudstones and shales. It is suggested that good seismic velocity data can be used to determine the depth that is most favourable for hydrocarbon accumulation.
