Detectability and modeling of low net-to-gross fluvial stratigraphy

Floodplain deposits in arid, endorheic basins constitute a large proportion of fluvial stratigraphy. The reservoir potential of this stratigraphy was previously discarded. Thin-bedded, potential reservoir sandstones present in the stratigraphy have poor detectability on conventional well logs and possess relatively low reservoir quality. However...

Correlation and modelling of a fluvial depositional system: Outcrop analogue study of thin-bedded fluvial reservoir sandstone

The Huesca fluvial fan contains a low gradient fluvial system with well-exposed, 3D outcrops. An outcrop study of low-sinuous deposits aims to provide a deterministic reservoir model that predicts correlation lengths, nesting and reservoir potential of thin-bedded fluvial reservoir sandstone in an overall low net-to-gross setting. To correlate...
