Intraslope lobes, or perched are attracting scientific interest because they represent a key archive between the shelf and deep basin plain when looking at complete source-to-sink depositional system across continental margin can form significant offshore hydrocarbon plays. In this study, we focus on detailed characterization of intraslope lobes Motta San Giovanni Formation (Miocene, Calabria),...

Synchronous interaction between bottom currents and turbidity has been reported often in channel–levée systems where the thickness of exceeds that levées. Such interplay along-slope down-slope sedimentary processes is one mechanisms by which ‘mixed turbidite–contourite systems’ can originate. However, flow over large areas seafloor, including continental slopes characterized deeply incised subm...

The Forties Sandstone Member is an important deep-water reservoir in the Central North Sea. role of depositional characteristics, grain-coating clays, and diagenesis controlling quality sandstones poorly understood. main aim study to understand pore-filling evolution turbidite-channel sandstones. employed a multi-disciplinary technique involving thin section petrography scanning electron micros...

The quantitative logs method is designed for objective facies analysis of thick sedimentary successions. This enables the whole successions instead selected intervals arbitrarily considered as representative and results in a database suitable further analysis, e.g., statistical, stratigraphy, or modelling. logging procedure involves following steps: (i) each logged features classified according...
