Biostratigraphy in Production and Development Geology (Geological Society Special Publication)

In the production as opposed to the exploration arena, biostratigraphic and related techniques are used to address reservoir-scale problems such as detailed correlation, interpretation of depositional environment, geometry, connectivity and compartmentalisation, and reserves estimation and optimisation of recovery. This book records recent advances that biostratigraphy has made in production and development geology. It serves to illustrate to non-biostratigraphers the potential applicability of biostratigraphy in this area, and to encourage biostratigraphers to further explore and evaluate this potential.

in Recent Years The Application Of Biostratigraphy To Hydrocarbon Exploration And Development Has Become Increasingly Important Both Scientifically And Economically. The Demand For Higher Stratigraphical Resolution In Field Development Studies Has Resulted In The Utilization Of New Approaches. However, In Under-explored Areas With Little Reliable Primary Biostratigraphical Data, Conventional Methods Using Relatively Coarse Biozonations Still Have Relevance. The Aim Of This Volume Is To Encourage An Exchange Of Ideas And To Seed New Research Initiatives Particularly Within Integrated Multidisciplinary Teams. The Papers Are Divided Into Four Main Themes Which Cover A Broad Range Of Modern Applications Of Biostratigraphy. The First Three Themes Are: Uk North Sea Field Development; Outcrop Analogues; And International Exploration And Development. The Final Section Discusses New Methodologies, Such As The Application Of Correspondence Analysis And Multivariate Correlation Of Wells, And Palynological Processing Techniques Applicable To The Wellsite.

This Book Records Some Of The Recent Advances That Biostratigraphy Has Made In Production And Development Geology. It Serves To Illustrate To Non-biostratigraphers The Potential Applicability Of Biostratigraphic And Related Techniques, And To Encourage Biostratigraphers To Further Explore And Evaluate This Potential. Case Histories Of Applications In The North Sea Are Given First, Followed By Case Histories Of Applications In Euramerica, Borneo, Venezuela, Nigeria And The Gulf Of Mexico. The Overall Representation Of Different Geographies, Stratigraphies And Reservoir Depositional Environments Is Wide, Although The North Sea Is Particularly Well Represented.--jacket. Edited By R.w. Jones And M.d. Simmons. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. The Permian period (251 to 299 Ma) encompasses nine ages (stages) arranged into three epochs (series). Most of the Permian marine timescale has been defined by global stratotype sections and points for the stage boundaries. This volume presents new data regarding the biostratigraphy and biochronology of the non-marine Permian and provides a basis for temporally ordering Permian geological and biotic history on land, and correlating that history to events in the marine realm Cover......Page 1 Cover......Page 2 Front matter......Page 3 Contents......Page 8 1......Page 9 5......Page 12 23......Page 30 55......Page 67 75......Page 86 85......Page 96 113......Page 123 139......Page 148 155......Page 163 167......Page 175 185......Page 194 201......Page 210 219......Page 228 243......Page 251 259......Page 266 291......Page 298 303......Page 309 Index......Page 315 Back......Page 325
