Abstract
Abstract: Integrated Study of a Sub-Salt Deep Water Turbidite
Play (Gulf of Mexico) Supported by Behind-Outcrop
Examples from the Lewis Shale (Wyoming) and
the Jackfork Formation (Arkansas)

Imaging 
tools
are sophisticated descendants of dipmeter tools
and provide vertical resolution of less than one centimeter if
sufficient contrast is present. Such resolution makes possible a
great number of structural
and stratigraphic applications. These
include the identification, orientation and angle of fractures,
determination of degrees of fracture fill, paleotransport and
identification of fine sedimentologic features sometimes not
apparent in cores.
The deep water turbidites examined are from tests in Green Canyon Block 562, a behind-outcrop test well of the Lewis Formation (Wyoming) and a quarried channel exposure of the Jackfork Formation (Arkansas). Image logs calibrated to core showcase the vertical resolution of this tool, even in oil-based muds.
