A new classification system for mixed (turbidite-contourite) depositional systems: Examples, conceptual models and diagnostic criteria for modern and ancient records

S. Rodrigues et al.

Summary: This study aims to develop criteria to differentiate mixed, along-slope-, and down-slope-generated elements from other deep-water deposits based on bathymetric, seismic and sediment core data. The study reveals that the persistence of bottom currents and the variations in turbidity flows affect the morphology and development of sediments. Interactions between along-slope and down-slope processes can be synchronous, asynchronous, or passive. The evolution of mixed systems is influenced by various factors such as confinement, sediment supply, and climatic fluctuations. Mixed systems feature complex geometries and may become important targets for energy geosciences and other research fields.

Extreme erosion by submarine slides

Harya D. Nugraha et al.

Summary: Submarine slides are major geohazards that can trigger tsunamis and damage submarine infrastructure. Our study quantified the erosive potential of submarine slides and found that the slide volume tends to increase after the initial failure. This has important implications for hazard assessments and impact assessments of submarine infrastructure.

Differences of sedimentary triggers and depositional architecture of lacustrine turbidites from normal regression to forced regression: Eocene Dongying depression, Bohai Bay Basin, East China

Qianran Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the sedimentary mechanisms and depositional architecture of lacustrine turbidite systems under lake-level changes in the Eocene Dongying Depression, Bohai Bay Basin, East China. The results highlight the importance of climate forcing in controlling the depositional differences of lacustrine turbidites during regression stages. The study also provides a new predictive model for deep-water hydrocarbon exploration and production in lacustrine basins worldwide.

Thin-interbedded reservoirs prediction based on seismic sedimentology

Changkuan Ni et al.

Summary: This paper proposes two methods to predict the distribution of thin-interbedded reservoirs through strata slices by suppressing interference from adjacent layers. The methods have been applied successfully to predict the distribution of target oil layers in thin-interbedded reservoirs.

Architecture and depositional processes of sublacustrine fan systems in structurally active settings: An example from Weixinan Depression, northern South China Sea

Entao Liu et al.

Summary: Sublacustrine fans in structurally active settings often have complex depositional characteristics and pose challenges to hydrocarbon exploration. This study investigated a large-scale sublacustrine fan system in the Eocene Weixinan Depression of the northern South China Sea, identifying two sections with different sedimentary characteristics and sediment supply directions. The lower section was sourced from a western delta with well-sorted sediments transported over long distances, while the upper section was supplied by a northern fan delta with short-distance transported coarse-grained sediments.

Deep-water gravity flow deposits in a lacustrine rift basin and their oil and gas geological significance in eastern China

Cao Yingchang et al.

Summary: The types, evolution processes, formation mechanisms, and depositional models of deep-water gravity flow deposits in a lacustrine rift basin are driven by gravity, mainly involving processes such as slide, slump, debris flow, and turbidity currents. The transformation between debris flow and turbidity current, as well as the transformation of turbidity current between supercritical and subcritical conditions, play important roles in the dynamic mechanisms of gravity flow deposits in a lake basin. The properties of nearshore subaqueous fan facies belt are influenced by differential diagenesis, leading to the formation of diagenetic traps with extrabasinal gravity flow deposits being one of the main reasons behind abundant deep-water sand bodies in a lake basin.
