There have been many disagreements regarding the depositional environment of Oligocene Tajau Sandstone Member Kudat Formation, Northern Sabah. We present here, first detailed sedimentary facies analysis for Member, exposed on Peninsula. The identified are interpreted as deposits subaqueous sediment density flows, which common processes in deep marine settings. These include debrites, hyperconce...

The deep-marine environment is a complex setting in which numerous processes —settling of pelagic and hemipelagic particles the water column, sediment gravity flows (downslope density currents; turbid flows), bottom currents— determine deposition, hence variety facies including pelagites/hemipelagites, contourites, turbidites hyperpycnites. Characterization differentiation among deep-sea challe...

The CSEM method, which is frequently used as a risk-reduction tool in hydrocarbon exploration, finally moving to new frontier: reservoir monitoring and surveillance. In the present work, we time-lapse interpretation workflow. One essential aspect of our workflow demonstration linear relationship between anomalous transverse resistance, an attribute extracted from data inversion, SoPhiH attribut...

[1] A high-resolution stratigraphic image of a flume-generated deposit was scaled up to sedimentary basin dimensions where a natural log hydraulic conductivity (ln(K)) was assigned to each pixel on the basis of gray scale and conductivity end-members. The synthetic ln(K) map has mean, variance, and frequency distributions that are comparable to a natural alluvial fan deposit. A geostatistical a...

A major objective of science is to provide a fundamental understanding of natural phenomena. In “the old kind of science” this was done primarily by using partial differential equations. Boundary and initial value conditions were specified and solutions were obtained either analytically or numerically. However, many phenomena in geology are complex and statistical in nature and thus require alt...

Geol., 58 :47 -61 The transportation mode for large, isolated clasts "f loating" in turbidites is a problem that has been difficult to resolve. New observations from experimental, high-density turbidity currents indicate that large, outsized clasts can be transport...
