Turbidite systems are complex heterogeneous siliciclastic deposits calling for a new approach to geophysical and geostatistical reservoir characterization. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the integration of seismic amplitude and rock physics data into realistic geological scenarios using a novel geostatistical approach. Avseth (2000, 2001 with others) presented an integrated rock physic...

A sedimentological and palynological investigation was carried out on outcropping sedimentary rocks at Dogiyai, Papua, proposed to be named as the Mapia Formation. The age range is from Middle Miocene Pleistocene. lower Formation deposited Metroxylon type Nothofagus emarcida Zone, Early Pliocene. It comprised of three facies associations: tidal channel, point bar, flat deposits. tidally dominat...
