Building and Evaluating Borehole-Image-Constrained Facies Models of a Complex Channelised Slope System, Karoo Basin, South Africa

As hydrocarbons become scarcer, submarine channelised slope systems have become a focus of exploration due to their reservoir potential. Outcrops of both levee-confined (Unit C) and entrenched (Unit D) channel systems are exposed in the Permian Fort Brown Formation, Karoo Basin, South Africa and have been extensively studied and interpreted....

Borehole Images and Logs: Tools to Constrain the Architecture of a Channelized Slope System, Karoo Basin, South Africa

The SLOPE3 project investigates the depositional architecture of a Permian age, deep water / complex channelized slope system which is of interest to the oil industry as a potential analogue for real oil / gas reservoirs. This study forms a part of the SLOPE3 project and is focused on an integration of cores and wireline logs from six research...
