ABSTRACT
deltaic
environments
are
characterized by a distinct range of heterolithic facies, which display a hierarchical
distribution of mudstone layers and gross sandstone/mudstone content. In the subsurface,
these heterolithic facies are interbedded strata of sandstone and mudstone, ranging in
thickness from millimeters to centimeters. They cannot be resolved by conventional well
logs. Consequently, facies discrimination in these successions is often crude and does not
allow genetically significant rock types to be distinguished. This severely limits the
analyses of facies sequence necessary to deliver a high-resolution model of reservoir
architecture and predictions of rock properties appropriate for reservoir modeling.
